A Sorta Kinda Photo Editing Contest!
I’ve decided it’s time to play a game! This is close as I can get to The Price is Right or one of those huge jars of candy that you have to guess how many pieces it holds! So I’m going to host a photo editing contest – sort of. The easy thing is that I’m not asking you to edit any photos, that’s on me. You just have to guess how good I am at setting up a shot in the first place! Dominic and I are back from a weekend full of photos in Humboldt County celebrating his 35th birthday, so I have a lot of editing to do!
Read MoreAffiliate Summit East 2010 Silver Pass WINNER!
About a month ago, I launched one of my best contests ever here, the chance to win a Silver Pass for Affiliate Summit East 2010. ASE10 will be taking place in New York City at the New York Hilton. I’ll be speaking on a panel called Podcasting 101 with Daniel M. Clark, Joe Magennis, & Lisa Picarille moderating. I wanted people to think outside the box & get creative with their reasons why they wanted to go to the conference. I read all the comments & put aside any personal relationships and went solely on the most creative comment, as I said I would!
And the winner is…
Daniel Chmielewski!
Daniel will be receiving a Silver Pass for Affiliate Summit East 2010 in New York City! Dan, you know you’re pretty much required to fill a seat in our session on Sunday at noon, right? 🙂 Ladies & gentlemen, enjoy Daniel’s winning comment:
Hi Trish!
We haven’t met yet but obviously the contest was made for me. It all began when I was born.. the doctors said I came out with a map of the internet clenched between my tiny hands. Then growing up I was raised in the wild by computers and modems… every once in a while I’d catch a lead gen and rest satiated — those were good nights. When I was a teenager I was attacked by a group of rabid ringtones and barely made it out alive… I still get chills every time an SMS goes off in the distance. After my teen years I was called away to war in the 9-5 trenches where I’ve been counting the days until the time that I may return home… and you see, ASE is my ticket out of here, my one true chance at freedom — to live the life I was born to lead!
… Well that’s how I see it anyway
Thanks Daniel for thinking creatively – check your email for more details on how to register for Affiliate Summit & redeem your prize!
Runner Up
I also said I’d be giving a copy of Internet Marketing From the Real Experts to the second best entry. The runner-up is Latease Rikard! Look out for an email so I can get your address to send you the book. Here’s her winning entry:
Hey Trisha…I want to go to Affiliate Summit 2010 because I will get to meet you. Now I can find out that you are not just some internet entity that I’ve been communicating with over the past couple of years. It will be like bringing my internet friend to life, and we will have control over it!
Congratulations to all the winners & stay tuned for more news about Affiliate Summit 2010 & another contest I’m working on ;).

I will also have an article appear in issue 11 of FeedFront Magazine, being distributed at the conference.
The Silver Pass is a $250 value and gives you access during the conference to the Affiliate Meet Market and Exhibit Hall, Keynotes; and access to the Affiliate Summit Social Network.

Here’s the inevitable fine print. Passes are non-transferable, so if you win the pass you have to use it for yourself. Keep in mind that the winner must register for Affiliate Summit BEFORE passes sell out. As well, if you win the contest, register, and are then unable to attend, you have to contact them to cancel. If you don’t contact them to cancel and fail to check in at the conference, you won’t be eligible for any future complimentary passes from Affiliate Summit. These are their rules, not mine, so you must abide. Please enter only if you are not already registered and know you can attend, should you win.
Read MoreNow Published! Affiliate Manager Communication Strategies
Issue 2 of FeedFront Magazine is hitting mailboxes as we speak, and will be distributed at Affiliate Summit East next week. I’m happy to say that an article I wrote has been published! Now you can read all about a great strategy to keep in contact with your affiliates as a manager. Check out my article on page 12 of the magazine.
If you can’t wait for your hard copy (as I couldn’t) you can download just my article here. Or, if you actually want to read the whole issue, you can get it here. There are a lot of other great articles this time around, including a look at ABestWeb.com founder Haiko de Poel Jr, coupon code woes, and avoiding NY state tax nexus.
I hope to write another article for FeedFront soon, I just need to rack my brain for some ideas :). If you’ll be going to Affiliate Summit East, we’re sure to have a blast. Remember to take lots of pictures – the gang at FeedFront is holding a contest and YOUR picture (or mine!) can win the coveted cover position for the 3rd issue of FeedFront. Not only does the winner get the bragging rights of having their photo on the cover of the magazine, but you also win a full conference pass to Affiliate Summit West 2009 happening in Las Vegas January 11th – 13th.
