ShoeMoney To Speak At Affiliate Summit West

By Jeremy Schoemaker 8 comments

Jon, Owner of the wickedfire forums talked to me a few days ago about speaking on a panel with him titled “How To Be A Super Affiliate”. Sounds like fun! I said I would do it and then he announced it on his forum here

Shawn Collins Sent me all the paperwork yesterday and its totally official. I will be speaking at Affiliate Summit West. I love any reason to goto Vegas but this sounds like a lot of fun.

I think Jon says it best and I couldn’t have said it better myself:

I’m really excited to be on the panel, because I absolutely LOVE taking live questions and giving answers off the top of my head without having something to read them from. I won’t be coming up with any answers or topic points beforehand, every piece of information will be in real time and live. I’ve done public speaking to much larger crowds before, and I can assure you, I am fun and exciting, and totally feed off of the audience’s energy and eagerness to learn. We are not being paid for this either, so I feel as if it’s a real “giving back to the community” type of deal, and all in the name of the WickedFire team!

I know this sounds like a puff piece, but I really do want to thank Shawn Collins for giving me this opportunity to speak with the people at Affiliate Summit. My goal is to keep everyone entertained and informed.

Affiliate Summit West will be in Las Vegas on Jan 21-23. This panel will be on Jan 22nd. The conference will be hosted at Ballys. If you’re not sure about going, you need to rethink that choice. There are going to be hundreds of ad network reps and industry people there. Great place for networking and building your business. Go to www.affiliatesummit.com and watch their little cool videos and read up on it. Very worthwhile in my opinion. I’m still trying to work out a discout for WickedFire forum members, so I’ll keep you guys updated on it.

That’d be an awesome place to be next January, I wish I could join the festivities that it sounds like you guys will be having over there. Good luck and have fun!

Thanks for the plug Jeremy! You should also add that we are giving away 15 free passes to the show (I think it costs about $1k per ticket), and for everyone who doesn’t win but still wants to go, we are the only ones giving a 50% discount for it. I’m going to try and get it down to $200 or so total, but no promises. The more affiliates in Vegas, the better!

So it looks like I will have to choose between this or PubCon in Vegas in November. Hmmm, what to do…

I went to an AdWords Seminar today and we touched on Google’s Video Ad Format, I suggested looking at your site but it looks like you didn’t have any video ads here. Wish I had known where you had beta tested them to point out to everyone.

Congrats on the speaking engagement
