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 a little late this week but got going relatively quick.  We chat a bit about social media and taxes in this episode, and have a good time doing it.  I think we were keeping Mike warm with our banter!  The episode comes in at a chunky, too-fat-to-fly 32:30. In in this episode we discuss:

  • Google Buzz is a Buzz Kill
  • Audience Conference 2010 is now open for registration.  This year’s theme is Comedy.
  • Kevin Smith’s Social Media battle with Southwest Airlines
  • Follow hashtag #noadtax on Twitter for updates on the fights against the advertising tax in multiple states
  • More information on the tax issues going on in various states can be found at:
  • EDIT: The Sacramento and San Diego trips we talk about were canceled late tonight.  The CA bill will be heard in the morning and we may make a trip on Monday for the house hearing.  Stay tuned!

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics 19: It’s a Search Tool!

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!

In this all-too-RARE episode, we reunite and make lots of fun of ourselves for being inconsistent in our scheduling and shows.  We discuss some things that are kind of old and some things that are brand-spanking new.  It happens.  Incidentally, I realize I said the name Richard Attenborough when we were joking around and I was trying to reference those classic nature shows from our childhood with the stoic British actor describing gazelles running across the Serengeti.  Not sure what the actor’s name actually was, but I know now that it wasn’t Sir Attenborough.  Oh well, despite that, episode 19 comes in at a cheetah like speed of 39 minutes.

Also, I just fixed the audio problem where it cut off about 33 minutes in.  Sorry, should be all good now!  In this episode we discuss:

  • My new gig with For Me To Coupon.
  • The Advertising Tax hits Colorado.  Read more about it here:
  • The launch of Impact Radius – more of an exchange than a network.
  • Seesmic Look.  Seriously, what is this?  We decided – it’s a search tool!
  • 1938 Media starts 1938 Business & teams up with some heavy hitters to produce this year’s Audience Conference.
    • Loren Feldman and Affiliate Summit Team Up
  • Shout outs went to the losers of the Affiliate of the Year Pinnacle Award, Kim Rowley and Eric Nagel!

In in this episode we discuss:

  • The new trend of DailyBooth.com

Well, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it?  Schedules have been ca-razy lately and Mike & I just haven’t been able to get together to record.  So, welcome back as stand in co-host Eric Nagel!  We got back to our roots in talking strictly from the affiliate vs. affiliate manager discussion.  We come in at a cool 42:50.  In in this episode we discuss:

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics – A Publisher (Mike Buechele) and an Affiliate Manager (Trisha Lyn Fawver) talk about all things Affiliate Marketing. From blogging to branding, social media to search, video and more!

This week we are FINALLY joined by Wade Tonkin of GTO Management and the man  behind the Christian Affiliate Marketers Association.  We had a fine conversation, accidentally recorded in Mono instead of Stereo since I forgot to switch the defaults on this new computer.  I think the sound quality is good though, but welcome any feedback.  Since we’re all busy people, I opted for no intro music this week and we come in at a sultry 34:25. In in this episode we discuss:

  • Who Wade is, i.e. a partner at GTO Management
  • Blog World Expo and their affiliate program (which GTO Management professionally manages)
  • The events put on by and the Christian Affiliate Marketing Association
  • SponsoredTweets and how that’s going to Mike & Trisha

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics – A Publisher (Mike Buechele) and an Affiliate Manager (Trisha Lyn Fawver) talk about all things Affiliate Marketing. From blogging to branding, social media to search, video and more!

We kept it short & sweet this week, but hey!  We did two weeks in a row!  YES… I’m patting us on the back for that.  We talked briefly about some things that have been going on in the industry this week, and had a short & sweet conversation with limited tangents.  And almost no discussion of Twitter, other than a third party service mention.  Since it was so short I messed with outro music too, which brought us to a pleasantly succinct 19:30.  In in this episode we discuss:

  • The fantastic fill in job Eric Nagel did last week.
  • Affiliate Day came & went on September 14th.
  • Sponsored Tweets picked up their traffic
  • CJU, despite neither of us going.
  • How cool it is when industry celebs remember you!
  • Halloween & Fall promotions are upon us!
  • Fantasy Football with Jason Rubacky and Shawn Collins… and a brief girl’s guide to how scoring works.
