Duped by Geeks

Posted on Apr 22, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, Marketing |

Twitter vs twatter – it was a ruse! Jim Kukral returns to GeekCast & they all explain that it was just to spoof Loren Feldman’s puppet show against Shel Israel. They explain it in GeekCast today.

Mike from 1115 Media Called it first! Did anyone have a pool going?

Next we’ll hear that Mark Wielgus is in Joel Comm’s pocket and the scam alerts were all a ruse too!

Amusing Phrases

Posted on Apr 5, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing |

I’m a total media consumer, so in listening to things and reading this I’ve picked up a couple of highly amusing phrases that I’d like to share with you. It’s Saturday afternoon, not much else is going on! So let’s get a little silly while I share some things that have been absolutely cracking me up in the last few weeks.

“Keep it clean, Jangro’s listening” from the GeekCast (coined by Lisa Picarille I believe)

“It’s tough being a digital gangster” from Sam Harrelson of Affiliate Fortune Cookies

“NSFJ (not safe for Jangro) ” from Todd Crawford on Twitter

“I’d twit me.” from Shawn Collins on Geek Cast

Good People Day

Posted on Apr 3, 2008 in Career | 1 comment

So Gary Vaynerchuk at WineLibrary is at it again, enthusiastically making up holidays as he fancies. He’s come up with April 3rd as Good People Day, a day to thank those that help you, inspire you, etc. He explains it better than I, so here:

So I’m left to wondering who I should thank. I guess there’s several peeps out there that inspire me. Here we go, in no particular order.

• Anne Casanova, my manager. She’s awesome!
• Sam Harrelson. A great blogger, generally nice and helpful guy.
• All the people I follow on twitter for constant entertainment.
• All the people who read my blog. Y’all rock and give me a good motivation to keep talking.
• The GeekCast crew for making me laugh hysterically once a week, so big ups to Jim Kukral, Lisa Picarille, Shawn Collins, and Sam Harrelson once again.
• My best friends ever for always being there for me, Katie Shaw, Lorenza Martinez, Rachel Nuckols, and Jennifer Morrill. None of them are big interwebbers, so no links!
• Karen Garcia is a great for random questions via Twitter. So is Deborah Loxly!

Viral Marketing at it’s Finest

Posted on Mar 19, 2008 in Marketing | 2 comments

ALL FREAKIN’ DAY I’ve seen the likes of Gary Vaynerchuk, Ze Frank, and others go back and forth on Twitter about joining the Very Green Team and wondered if they’d lost their natural minds. It looks like there’s a color war going on… just something to pass the time. Gary explains why he’s so passionate about the color green on his website. This is a great example at viral marketing at it’s finest. Sam Harrelson also posted about the phenomenon at CostPerNews. So take a page from the Garyvee book and do something viral!

EDIT: OK, Ze was kind enough to explain what the heck is going on with these color wars in his blog.

Getting ready for Affiliate Summit West 08

Posted on Feb 22, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing, Conferences & Networking | 1 comment

Twitter is alive with activity. The summit has set up a group twitter that tracks whenever someone uses the keyword asw08 in their twits. This is very cool, especially considering I didn’t know Twitter had this capability!

Everyone seems to be in a rush to get things done. Jim Kukral from ScratchBack.com is MCing the keynote on Monday. He’s twittered several times tonight about the video he’s working on for the presentation. At ASE07 in Miami the keynote was Ze Frank, a hilarious individual, so I’m hoping for no less at ASW08.

Stephanie Agresta from Stephanie Agresta Consulting is also a speaker and author of the Internet Geek Girl blog. She’s twittered off and on today about her flight information and getting ready for the trip from out east. Sam Harrelson from Affiliate Fortune Cookies has been twittering as well and he’s even had to change his flight because of inclement Northeastern weather.

Of course myself, I’m twittering here and there about getting ready. I’m not lucky enough to have a nice new company supplied laptop, so I’m on my own personal laptop this weekend. I do have a press pass, so I be working on keeping the interweb updated from the blogger’s room through this blog and Twitter. I’m committed despite my chunky clunky Dell Latitude laptop :p.

As a final note while I’m getting my laptop set up tonight, I encourage everyone associated with affiliate marketing in any way to check out this month’s issue of Affiliate Classroom Magazine. Besides there being a keen write up of the PsPrint Affiliate Program, there’s a lot of great affiliate manager tips. I’ll be attending the whopping 10 hour Affiliate Classroom LIVE affiliate manager training on Saturday in Las Vegas before the summit. I’m eager to get in there and take notes… is it too much to hope for actual desks? :p I know that it’s at the Rio and from all the conference space I’ve seen at hotels in the last year, I’m sure there won’t be surfaces to write on readily available, so I’ll be taking my clipboard with me.

Hope to see you there! I’m considering bringing my camcorder with me to the exhibit hall, so if you’ve used PsPrint in the past, come on by for an impromptu video plug!
