Like a lot of people, I’ve had my head down working. I’ve been working hard managing the MyJewelryBox.com Affiliate Program.  I’ve had so much to do I haven’t had a ton of energy at the end of the day to keep up the blog. Regrettably that means that you, dear reafer, have suffered.

Actually, I’m not so full of myself to honestly believe that you’ve suffered without my blogging.  There are many other resources to get your news in all things online marketing.  I started this blog almost exactly two years ago, and I still question whether people actually learn something from my mumbles here.

Coming up at the beginning of next month I’ll be attending Affiliate Summit East 2009 in New York City, speaking on a panel called Getting Noticed FAST.  Our goal is to help others make a name for themselves within the industry as we’ve tried to make a name for ourselves.  We’ve put a lot of time into our preparation; we want to make sure that the attendees walk away with concrete, actionable items to apply to their own careers.

My husband Dominic Fawver will be attending with me.  He’s currently finishing up a degree in business, focusing on pro0ject management.  He’s interested in potentially going into affiliate marketing , so he’s attending to help me cover all the sessions for this blog.  He’s excited to learn more about what I do and the people I interact with, and I’m excited for him to get this introduction to my professional world as well.  We’re also tacking a couple days onto our trip to do some sight seeing.  Neither of us have ever been to New York, so we’ll be seeing Avenue Q the Friday night before the conference and meeting up with some friends who live in the NYC area.

I’ll also be staffing the Meet Market table for Affiliate Marketers Give Back from 5-6pm Sunday August 9th during the show.  In an effort to raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, AMGB will be offering limited-edition Affiliate Summit hats (available for a $40 donation) and Affiliate Marketers Give Back laptop stickers (available for a $10 donation).  If you won’t be attending and would still like to make a donation, you can do so at AMGBWalk.com.

On Tuesday I’m happy to be participating in GeekCast Live.  I’m betting since this one has an open invite and is officially on the schedule, it’ll go a lot more as planned than when they tried to do one in Boston at ASE08.  By “as planned”, I know before they had more of a Diggnation vision in mind than the devolved drunken conversation that happened.  It should be a good time and a great way to end the conference.

So what now?  I hope to come back from Affiliate Summit with a renewed passion for this blog.  More great content for you.  Stay tuned!
