This week has been full of win, and it’s only Tuesday!
All the Cool Kids (and me)
My humble little blog TrishaLyn.com has been featured on Alltop.com under the Marketing category. Alltop is a digital magazine rack, per se. At each Alltop site, they display the latest five stories from 30+ sites on a single page, aggregating the information as a starting point. Alltop is a great way to expose yourself to blogs and websites relating to your interests that you may not have stumbled upon before. The interests range from women’s interests to sports, religion to geekery. In the marketing category my humble blog is mentioned amongst the likes of Andy Beal’s Marketing Pilgrim, Michael Martine’s Remarkablogger, and Seth Godin’s blog. I’d say that lives up to the “all the cool kids (and me)” slogan!
Guest Co-Host of AffiliateThing on WebmasterRadio.fm
Regular host Shawn Collins of AffiliateTip.com and co-founder of Affiliate Summit invited me on to co-host the weekly Affiliate Thing podcast in lieu of regular co-host Lisa Picarille of Revenue Magazine who can’t make it tomorrow. I’m excited as I know this is a well-produced, professional podcast broadcast on WebmasterRadio.fm, so I can’t wait. I’ll be recording from the pleasure of my own home in the morning and can’t wait to chew the affiliate fat with Shawn. I will say that I’m glad I’m not the one who has to edit it! it’s all recorded over Skype, so it’ll be great quality I’m sure!
Featured Expert on EzineArticles.com
That’s right, yours truly is also now a featured expert author on article site EzineArticles.com. So far I’ve submitted my Top 10 Things That Improve Work Ethic article and plan on submitting many more. If you’d like to see any of my former blog posts as articles on Ezine, drop me a line and let me know!
So that’s it! I feel like all this work I’ve been doing is paying off, and let me tell you, it’s a terrific feeling! I’ll be sure to report back on how the recording of Affiliate Thing goes tomorrow!

Okay, I was sick on Friday so this is coming at you late. I know I should be drawn and quartered, but where else will you get this info? (That’s a rhetorical question, by the way.)
- Digg is launching a new comment system soon. Maybe I’ll use it more often now that it will be more user friendly.
- Amazon is stickin’ it to the man – they’re suing NY state over the tax laws they’re proposing that affect affiliates.
- I’m awesome, and I can prove it DOUBLE now! Check out http://marketing.alltop.com and http://trishalyn.isreallyawesome.com for proof, now!
- Super Affiliate by day Zac Johnson has a great post for budding affiliates on how to pick the right niche market for you. It’s a great resource complete with some awesome tools to get into the niche you’re looking for.
- Mark Wielgus threw out a video on blog traffic tips. Definitely some good information.
So there… your weekly dose!
