Affiliate Summit West 2011 in Pictures #ASW11

Posted on Feb 15, 2011 in Affiliate Marketing, Conferences & Networking |

So, I found out what was wrong (I guess).  It seemed my installation of WP Unlimited was severely outdated (pay attention to those update release emails, people)!  I updated it and low & behold, all of a sudden today I can create the album using NextGEN Gallery!

Without further ado since it’s been a whole month since Affiliate Summit West 2011, please enjoy my pictures from the show.  As you may be able to tell, I took notes via taking photos of the slides during the Drew Eric Whitman keynote.  I forgot my notebook 🙂

Please leave comments letting me know if this was valuable to you… or just commenting on any of the photos!  They can also be viewed on Flickr in my Affiliate Summit West 2011 Set.  Remember that you don’t want to miss the fun and excitement of Affiliate Summit East 2011 in New York City, so register today!

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!

Quick Affiliate Summit West 2011 Recap #ASW11

Posted on Jan 15, 2011 in Affiliate Marketing, Conferences & Networking | 1 comment

ASW11-025While I was at Affiliate Summit, I was taking more pictures than notes this time around.  It occurred to me that the best way to post a recap would be in pictures.  I use a plug-in on another site I manage for the San Leandro Historical Railway Society called Next Gen Gallery, and I figured it would be perfect for this application.

Of course, anyone who attends Affiliate Summit, especially the West Coast versions held in Las Vegas, knows that it takes a lot out of you.  So I finally get around to installing the plug-in, but apparently I’m having some permissions issues on this website with my new hosting company that I won’t get into.  In a nutshell, it’s not allowing me to create the new albums and upload the pictures.

So, while I get this sorted out with my new hosting company, just know that Mike Buechele  & I will be recording our recap of the conference very soon for Affiliate Marketing Fanatics!

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!
