Shady’s back.  Tell your friends!  Mike’s back after a podcasting sabbatical to focus on his consulting business.  Today we’re keeping that chatter to a minimum and speaking with Naeem “Yanni” Kayani, Senior Director of Product Strategy at Adknowledge.  In in this episode we discuss:

  • The relevant targeting with email marketing that AdKnowledge can help with.
  • The fascinating stuff that Facebook and the other email service providers are doing these days to give users more control.
  • Yanni will be speaking at The Power of eMarketing Conference in San Francisco April 19th & 20th.  The format will be less presentation, more conversation.
  • His fellow panelists are Daniel Kuperman of Aprix Solutions and John Janetos of iPost.

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics 52: Interviewing Warren Whitlock

Posted on Mar 1, 2011 in Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Marketing Fanatics, Conferences & Networking |

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics – A couple of hyper-caffeinated affiliate marketers (Mike Buechele) and (Trisha Lyn Fawver) talk about all things Affiliate Marketing. From blogging to branding, social media to search, video and more!

You’ve come to love it – our interviews!  Once again, Skyping in for Mike is Jen Goode, Doodler-in-Charge at JGoode Designs.  This go-round we’re interviewing speakers at the upcoming PubCon South 2011 at the Norris Executive Conference Center in Austin, TX.  Today we’re chatting with Warren Whitlock about his origins in internet marketing & his panel.

You may have noticed a distinct lack of a 51st episode of AMF.  This is because, due to unforeseen recording difficulties caused by the recent updates to Skype, the episode wasn’t fully recorded, so we’re re-recording it with our guest later this week, so it’ll be posted out of order.  Deal with it!  Until then, for a juicy 29 minutes we like to call Episode 52, we discuss:

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics 50: #ASW11 Recap

Posted on Jan 24, 2011 in Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Marketing Fanatics |

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics – A couple of hyper-caffeinated affiliate marketers (Mike Buechele) and (Trisha Lyn Fawver) talk about all things Affiliate Marketing. From blogging to branding, social media to search, video and more!

It’s been a couple of weeks since Affiliate Summit West 2011 was over & done with, and it’s taken us this long to recuperate, follow up with all our leads, jot our ideas for improvement down in notebooks and on whiteboards, and had the time to breathe and record our recap!  We had different experiences at this show than some of the others in the recent past, so we share it all with you in a super sized episode this week.  For 1 hour & 14 minutes we babble on about:

  • Saturday pre-registration ease & the lightly sponsored conference tote bag.
  • The short, but sweet, buy.at party and the drinks, view, and having to interact with the “public”.  And a brief insight into Trisha’s bath.
  • The packed sessions, Mike’s session went well, and our Sunday in meetings and the insanity of the Meet Market.
  • Elvis costumes, Marilyn Monroe impersonators, and legend Warren Moon.
  • The lovely ShareASale 10 year anniversary party & the Strike Out Breast Cancer bowling party.
  • Our quick review of the Drew Eric Whitman keynote, yet neither of us attended the Brian Solis presentation.
  • Mike finally met Lewis Howes & they talked about Lewis’ book, LinkedWorking: Generating Success on LinkedIn the Worlds Largest Professional Networking Website.
  • Affiliate Summit Forum is now live, so go sign up!

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics 48: Interviewing Gary Kibel

Posted on Jan 5, 2011 in Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Marketing Fanatics, Conferences & Networking |

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics – A couple of hyper-caffeinated affiliate marketers (Mike Buechele) and (Trisha Lyn Fawver) talk about all things Affiliate Marketing. From blogging to branding, social media to search, video and more!

We’re continuing our series of interviews with some speakers at Affiliate Summit West 2011, coming up in just under a month at the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas. This time, we talk to Gary Kibel about his presentation “Social Media – A Marketing Bonanza!”. In in this episode we discuss:

  • Gary’s humble beginnings as an IT guy before becoming an attorney at Davis & Gilbert LLP.
  • Gary’s co-conspirators, er, panelists Sal Conca from NETexponent and Wade Sisson from Schaaf-PartnerCentric.
  • They’ll share some personal war stories and case studies about social media gone wrong.
  • Gary will talk about working on the most successful social media campaign in the history of social media!  What a teaser!
  • Contact Gary at gkibel@dglaw.com or at DGlaw.com

Now… here’s the bummer.  No, we didn’t mess things up and forget to attach the episode.  We record on Skype using Pamela Pro and between those two programs, probably Pamela’s fault, less than a minute of our interview was recorded.  So, we have nothing but Mike & my intro to post, and you don’t want to hear us babble on about our flights into Las Vegas, my tablet vs. netbook debate, or the weather in New York and California respectively, so stay tuned later this week for our last interview in this series!
