At long last, the website for New Edge Media is live and operational (almost)!  Go check it out immediately: New Edge Media!  I started with NEM almost a month ago and it’s been great so far.  We’re doing a lot of awesome things, and there hasn’t been any shortage of work for me.  Right now most of my efforts have been directed towards the PrintPlace.com affiliate program, getting everything running off the ground.

We offer a lot of great services at New Edge, including Affiliate Marketing, Email Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, and Paid Search Marketing.

The blog link isn’t operational yet since our company blog isn’t quite ready for unveiling to the public just yet.  We are excited to chonicle our journey as a new company in this crazy space.  It’ll feature blog posts by our CEO, Brandy Eddings, as well as by our entire senior staff.

Another great development ready to unveil today is that we now have a PrintPlace.com Sub-Forum on the AffSpot.com Affiliate Marketing Forums.  I hope for this to be an active place for affiliates to talk to each other, collaborate, ask questions, and have fun.  I really hope that it’ll explode into a really great area for discourse amongst affiliates and give everyone the opportunity to get exactly what they want out of the program.

I’m so excited!  Please, we’re always open for feedback so if you have any, leave me a comment!

Okay, there was a glitch in the matrix last week and I somehow forgot to post what I’d been working on.  Fail for me.  Anyway, this week’s cribbed content will include some self-aggrandizing points from last week and some really nifty stuff going on this week.

• StickerGiant was kind enough to feature me on their blog last week.  I placed my first order with them while I was in Boston and was really happy with the quality of stickers I received   So I slapped their logo on my laptop!
• I never win anything, yet while at Affiliate Summit I won $1000 in a contest.  So with that I will be going to BlogWorldExpo!  I’m excited as this will be my first BWE and a lot of the good people I met at Affiliate Summit East will be there.
• ShareASale, always the innovator, launched their Make-A-Video widget, allowing affiliates to make – and monetize – videos for advertisers’ products and services.  I’m excited – I don’t do much on ShareASale yet, but soon I hope to have a bit more time to play around with this.
• Fellow AffSpot.com forum poster Daniel M. Clark just published his first widely available book, The Big Book of Spam: Subject Lines.  This is volume one, and volume two is already in the works.  I’m waiting for my copy and will dutifully review it for you!
• Motive Interactive affiliate manager Luke Jeffery Smith has a good audio eBook out there, Luke Jeffrey’s Affiliate Marketing Fast Track. It’s just $0.99 – I plan on buying it and giving it a listen this weekend, again, complete with review!

Just a quick recap of days negative 1 and 1 of Affiliate Summit East 2008 before I head off to the Share a Sale Under the Stars party that started an hour ago (give me a break, I’m fashionably late!).

Day  Negative 1 (a.k.a. Saturday)

1. The Affiliate Classroom Live event went well overall.  I feel like the people in most of my discussions were picking up what I was putting down.  I feel like I could have been better prepared, but that was really my own fault.  I hope that I’m asked back in the future of other events and can do a bang up job!  Also met some cool peeps.
2. AffSpot.com forum meet-up was fun – got to meet some new people like Angie & Roger from Snow Consulting, talked at length with the ever charming Lisa Picarille of Revenue Magazine, finally met the lovely penguin Jen Good of JGoode Designs, was thrown schwag by Sam Harrelson & Aunesty Janssen the admins of the Spot, and met Bill (Beachy), Ron (7daysRon), & some others that came & went.  As I was looking down reading something on my phone outside the bar I recognized Jim Kukral of Scratchback soley by his mandals with socks walking by!  Love it.
3. Speaking of Sam, he had to bail on the Affiliate Dinner last night so he graciously gave me his ticket!  I went and had a great meal, lots of laughs at the expense of the roastee Connie Berg of FlamingoWorld.com, and talked at great length with apparently my #1 fan Kim Rodgers from 4Checks.com.  It’s funny that I JUST ordered my new checks from them for the first time last week, so we had a great discussion!  The highlight just might have been Brian Littleton from Share-a-Sale dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow for Connie’s love of all things Johnny Depp.
4. Finally, while the concept of recording a live podcast for GeekCast live was a terrific idea, it ended up being a FAIL of epic proportions.  It was an insanely fun time talking and having fun with peeps but between the audience, topics, & Shawn’s BeerTender, it was too much of a party.  It was a blast though that kept me up until 3:45am.

Day 1 – Affiliate Summit Kicks Off

1. Registration was incredibly easy now that they’ve come up with self check in kiosks.  Love it!
2. Missed the PPC and Social Media tracks I wanted to attend thanks to a righteous headache this morning (no, I DON’T think it was a hangover!) but heard the social media was good.
3. Headed into the Meet Market and MAN was it packed!  Got my fare share of awesome schwag, bought myself an “I Gave Back!” button, and got some good info on some cool networks and programs.  It was a zoo in there so I had to bail, bu t it was good that I did since I’d lost track of time and was able to get to the NY tax laws session.
4. The day isn’t over!  I’m shutting this bad boy down in lieu of blogging about the other session I attended today and I’m heading over to the ShareASale party on the Odyssey Cruise yacht… can’t promise how long I’ll stay but it should be a blast!
