CTO, PHP Programmer, Affiliate Marketer & IT Consultant
Tricia Meyer and Kristen Grace (of buycostumes.com) presented a session at Affiliate Summit East 2011, moderated by Todd Farmer, on Taking Advantage of Seasonality in Affiliate Marketing
. I originally didn’t have this session marked as one for me to attend, because I didn’t think most of my sites were seasonal. However, I’m glad I went.
I first recommended Eric to Shawn back in March, but Affiliate Summit already had the keynote speakers lined up for this summer’s show. Then Jon Spoelstra had to cancel, leaving an opening keynote to be filled. I hoped ET and Affiliate Summit could work out a deal for Eric to fill in, but it didn’t work out in time for #ASE11. However, they did reach a deal to have ET Keynote at #ASW12!
After the intro sessions at Affiliate Summit (First Timers Guide
and How to Pitch Your Company
), the first session I attended was Industry Clash: Balancing CPS & CPA Marketing
featuring Ian Fernando (CPA), Jason Rubacky (CPS), Logan Thompson (both) and moderated by Greg Hoffman.
The Saturday before Affiliate Summit, I attended Sugarrae‘s SEO training, held at the Hilton.
Rae Hoffman-Dolan, aka Sugarrae, is a well-known SEO and Affiliate Marketer. Her SEO training piggy-backed on Affiliate Summit, and was an additional registration fee ($800, when I booked). What was I hoping to get for $800?
I’m going to have session recaps up over the next few days, but I wanted to write a general recap of my recent trip to Affiliate Summit East 2011 held in New York City August 21-23.
I attended as three roles: affiliate, speaker, and press (blogger)
