Internet Marketing From The Real Experts

I’m excited to say that an article I wrote is included in the book Internet Marketing From The Real Experts
My article on Affiliate Manager Communication Strategies appears on page 15. Unfortunately since I wrote that article towards the beginning of FeedFront’s publication, it says I’m the marketing manager for PsPrint.com, which if you follow my blog you know that’s not true anymore. Oh well! I’m excited to be part of the gang of 88, and look forward to reading the entire book (well, the articles I haven’t already read in FeedFront).
From the back of the book:
What do Jay Berkowitz, Chris Brogan, Brian Clark, Jim Kukral, Ted Murphy, Jeremy Schoemaker, and Mari Smith have in comment? They all walk the walk when it comes to their Internet marketing expertise. And they also have joined dozens of innovators and thought shapers to share their ideas, advice, and insight.
Internet Marketing from the Real Experts is a collection of affiliate, email, blogging, podcasting, video, search engine, and social network rock stars that break down the how and why of Internet marketing in a clear, easy to understand way.
Their voices, their ideas, their action items, and their lessons learned from mistakes – all for you to grow your business the day you start reading Internet Marketing from the Real Experts.
I know that all those flattering words are really meant for the caliber of people listed on the back cover, but I’m honored to be among them in print! Better yet – all proceeds are going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Maybe now I will write that book I’ve been thinking of!
Affiliate Marketing Fanatics 15: Be My Yoko Ono
Friday
Sep 18, 2009
Affiliate Marketing Fanatics – A Publisher (Mike Buechele) and an Affiliate Manager (Trisha Lyn Fawver) talk about all things Affiliate Marketing. From blogging to branding, social media to search, video and more!
We kept it short & sweet this week, but hey! We did two weeks in a row! YES… I’m patting us on the back for that. We talked briefly about some things that have been going on in the industry this week, and had a short & sweet conversation with limited tangents. And almost no discussion of Twitter, other than a third party service mention. Since it was so short I messed with outro music too, which brought us to a pleasantly succinct 19:30. In in this episode we discuss:
- The fantastic fill in job Eric Nagel did last week.
- Affiliate Day came & went on September 14th.
- Sponsored Tweets picked up their traffic
- CJU, despite neither of us going.
- How cool it is when industry celebs remember you!
- Halloween & Fall promotions are upon us!
- Fantasy Football with Jason Rubacky and Shawn Collins… and a brief girl’s guide to how scoring works.
Great Parties & Events at ASE09
Monday
Aug 17, 2009
I took it light this time around at Affiliate Summit and only went to two events that weren’t hosted by the conference itself. Dominic and I spent the two days before the conference wandering Manhattan seeing some sights, so by the time the conference started we were not that interested in traipsing all over the city again. But we did make sure to go to the couple of smaller parties we were invited to. I’d have been asleep at the networking wheel had I not gone to any of the parties! So here’s my take on the parties with some thanks and photos I took!
buy.at Party @ Empire Hotel
Big thanks to Ayako from buy.at for extending the invitation! This party was on the rooftop bar at the Empire Hotel, which despite being 12 floors up was considerably shorter than most the surrounding buildings. Only one part of the hotel bar was reserved for the party, so it was a relatively intimate affair. We started by working the area and saying hello to old friends, and ended sitting with Heather Smith of Beautiful British Columbia and Murray Newlands of MurrayNewlands.com. It was wonderful conversation and Dominic seemed to really feel comfortable with the jargon conversation and other assorted topics.
MarketLeverage & John Chow’s Dot Com Pizza @ Original Famous Ray’s Pizza
This was just what the doctor ordered! I had a few culinary goals for my trip to New York: bagels, cheesecake, and pizza. New York pizza is legendary, so I was excited to be invited to share some pizza with Dina and crew. We got there a bit late but there was still plenty of great pizza! I had my first real conversation with John Chow and Ted Murphy, both pleasant. I felt bad because there wasn’t much room to sit with the main group by the time we got there to schmooze and converse, so Dominic and I ended up sitting back in the corner where the surplus pizzas were and didn’t have much chance to talk unless people came back and talked to us.
I thought it was especially funny that Dominic got an IZEA shirt from Heather earlier in the day in the Blogger’s Lounge, and decided to change out of his Blinkstar Media shirt to the Izea shirt before leaving. We walked right up the stairs at Ray’s to see Ted Murphy, who of course commented on the IZEA shirt! Good thing I’d taken some time earlier in the day to tell Dominic what IZEA is! After hearing Ted and Dina and Heather talk about the last IZEAfest and the upcoming one, he really wanted to go! Too bad we can’t afford to go to Florida and have fun with them! Big thanks to Dina at MarketLeverage for the invite!
TechKaraoke @ the Hilton
This was unexpectedly fun, though I wish I had been able to get better photos! Of course, the embarrassment factor of karaoke almost requires the lights to be dimmed, so the photos didn’t turn out. I hear that I missed Chris Brogan singing a Jay-Z number, but I got down there just in time to see Ted Murphy, Shawn Collins, and Drew Bennett bust out some Milli Vanilli! Throughout the evening I got to catch up with Connie Berg while listening to the vocal stylings of Todd Farmer, Jim Kukral, Missy Ward, and Brian Littleton amongst others.
I also never realized that you never truly appreciate how LONG some songs are until you hear them butchered at a karaoke event! All in all though it was a good time and I hope Shawn & Missy bring back the TechKaraoke folks to do it again. And this time bring the lights up for more embarrassing evidence!
