Just got my copy of Feed Front magazine and in it there are some great articles by Zac Johnson and other well known Affiliate Marketers. The theme for this month’s cover is “The Women Of Affiliate Marketing”. It’s nice to see the ladies of the industry featured and recognized. There is a nice bio on each featured person along with how long they have been in the industry, what they do, where they work, and some other information about them.
Hats off to Feed Front for showing that Affiliate Marketing is not the sausage fest it seems.
So speaking of Affiliate Marketing… I am getting geared up for Affiliate Summit West!
My Schedule:
Sunday:
I get in on Sunday. Long gone are my days of getting in a couple days before and leaving a day after. I have 2 kids now… things have changed … for the better! Okay. So I get in on Sunday before noon. Then we are going to the Mirage where we are staying to check in. Then we will go to the RIO to register and hang out with the meet market.
Affiliate Meet Market
Location: Pavilion 8-11
Time: 12:00pm – 6:00pm
Exhibitor Move In: 9:00am – 12:00pmAffiliate Summit kicks off with an extended session of structured, face to face networking. Merchants will have tables set to meet with affiliates to discuss their affiliate programs and cut deals. Vendors that cater to affiliates and merchants will also have tables to share information about their products and services. Each table is a meeting spot for teaching, learning, closing deals, creating partnerships and finding new opportunities.
On Sunday night, I have a few dinner invites but I’m still not sure what we are doing yet. (Yes, I’m waiting to see the best deal… JUST JOKING!)
Monday:
WE HAVE A BOOTH!!!!! That’s right. We have a booth at the Affiliate Summit. The opportunity for us to get it just came about last week so we have been hustling trying to get everything ready. Having a booth is a SHIT TON of work. We have been totally busting ass to get everything ready. And when I say we I of course mean Tigh. Hopefully it’s not a ghetto booth! But we did everything we could to put together a booth in 5 days. Maybe it will be stellar…. maybe it will not.
I also was trying to get our friend Randy Couture (former Heavyweight Champion of the World!) to come and sign autographs in our booth… right now it’s looking like this isn’t going to happen. I think we’re a little too late on that but who knows.
Tuesday:
When I am not at the booth, I will be speaking on the “Advertising on Facebook” Panel:
Advertising on Facebook
Session 4d
Location: Classroom D – Miranda 7-8
Time: 11:30am-12:30pm(This Session is Open to Platinum Pass Holders Only)
Learn about advertising on Facebook and how affiliates can reach over 100 million members. Join us for a panel discussion including a Facebook representative covering all you need to know.
Dan Murray, Internet Marketing Strategist, Ravenwood Marketing, Inc. (Moderator)
Zac Johnson, President / CEO, MoneyReign Inc.
Jeremy Schoemaker, President, ShoeMoney Media Group, INC
Alex Schultz, Facebook
Should be a great panel. We are still seeing a massive dislocation in advertising on social networks like Facebook. There is lots of money to be made there right now but it’s only so long before people become educated and the markets saturated. So now’s the time to educate yourself with this star studded panel!
At the booth we will be talking about ShoeMoney Tools.
Wednesday: Im outtie! I’ll be flying out early in the morning.
Please, if you see me introduce yourself. Don’t worry if I am already talking to people. I love to meet new people and have an attention span of 1 minute so it’s likely you are saving me from whoever I am currently talking to.
Everyone have a safe trip and see you at the Affiliate Summit West!

That event seems extremely worth while… I might have to make a trip to an event like that in the near future.
Hope to see you there, but what’s up with the mouth open photos. Didn’t your parents tell you of an old woman who swallowed a fly.
im on a fly diet
Don’t knock the enthusiasm!!!
Now THAT is enthusiasm!! Does this “Ladies of Affiliate Marketing” involve swimsuit features???
If so, I completely understand the enthusiasm hehehe
Thanks for the mention!
Looking forward to another great panel with you at Affiliate Summit!
an event worth to attend, but not able to travel for now….
cheers!
jean
I would love to go to something like that but the times have hit me hard. Would you ever consider doing a raffle or contest in the future where the winner(s) would get a free ticket to the summit?
umm I gave away 20 free passes =P Where you been?
How long ago was this??? I seem to have missed it as well – perhaps I wasn’t reading your blog just yet at that time!!
I must have been on another planet. At least I’m not the only one
There’s always next year.
My wife got one of your passes. I was also able to upgrade it to platinum for $900, which was sweet.
All the best and good luck!
Do share your experience 
Cheers!
Yes! that event does seem super worth it – the agenda speaks for itself.
You forgot to mention when you’ve allocated time towards drinking and gambling?
ya …. with the booth and stuff this time might not be much time for that.
Unfortunately, I’ve always found that on business trips, to make the most of it it’s always best to leave the fun stuff for other times – unless there is really the time for it, I think a business trip should be used making the most connections and marketing opportunities as possible
Jeremy is on diet, so that tends to curb the party behaviour a bit. The last night is usually reserved for a bit of an afterparty to enable exhibitors a chance to relax and unwind a bit.
That magazine looks good in your hands
I’m so proud of all the women in this industry and was excited to feature them.
Looking forward to seeing you and Tigh!
So what goes down at these conferences? New technology and techniques on how online marketing can be made easier.
Do you got to any southern type conferences? I’m not aware of any because I’ve never been to one. But I might pick one up if there is some good panels there. The topics sound really interesting at affiliate summit. It doesn’t look like they do any in the Texas area though.
I won’t be making it down there this year, but would have liked the opportunity to meet you, Shoe. Putting all the crap behind us, you’re a respected member of the affiliate community. I’d like to shake your hand one day.
I sincerely hope you have an amazing trip, and that you meet many great people at Affiliate Summit West. From the bottom of my heart!
Heheheheheh. This is sooooo unlike you Jerky-boy……what is the catch?
LOL I was about to say the same ahhaha
Living in South Africa it is quite frustrating to just read about all the marvellous events, without being able to attend them. Our currency is 10:1 vs the dollar, and that kind of exchange rate makes travel and accommodation to the states extremely expensive! So enjoy good people, I look forward to hearing your accounts of the event over the internet.
Hmm not sure what this has to do with my heartfelt moment
Yeah, I know what you mean SEO Tips. I would love to attend these events too, but our currency just isn’t allowing for that for us ordinary folks.
No catch guys! I just got some coke in me, so I’m in a fabulous mood again!
Looking forward to another Affiliate Summit. I’ll definitely look for you to say hello. Good job with the charity auction too.
i need to attend one of them and see how it is. im glad the women is being recognized more now..diversity! =]
Think you’ll make it to this panel on time? lol
Hope to see u reall SOON SHOE
Jeremy,
I look forward to meeting you again at Affiliate Summit 2009.
After helping Shawn Collins with his microphone at BlogWorld Expo, after his panel he gifted me an Unlimited Platinum Pass to ASW09! Being helpful has it’s rewards!
Respectfully,

Have fun in vegas! See everyone there.
Hey Shoe great to be on a panel with you, Dan really looking forward to catching up with you again and Zac it’s going to be ace to meet you for the first time.
If anyone has any questions for Facebook to answer at ASW feel free to reach out to me on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=36905751 or come by the meet market, we’ll be hanging out there and throughout the summit in force.
I really wish I could be there and meet you Jeremy. I am an Affiliate Manager for XY7.com and we have a booth there of course, but I also go to Illinois State University and our classes start Monday
Oh yeah, I’m the same Luke (aka stickycarrots) you posted about here:
http://www.shoemoney.com/2007/07/23/rubics-cube-solve-unofficial-auctionads-sponsorship/
I got a ton of search engine traffic from that post and sold the site for $1,500
I start class Monday to.. good luck man..
Really hope can be there
~sigh
What will you say about the fly diet? Is it really the latest fashion in dietetics?
Hahahahahah! I’m sure that no matter how well one promotes a diet like that, it just wont prove to be popular! Can you imagine a real “fly diet”?
Hey shoe I’ll see yah there. Interesting picks for the FB advertising platform. As our ad scraper pulls all the big advertisers and I know who most of them are. And those guys ain’t them.
Where’s the Affiliate Summit next year?
The next one is in New York City (August 9-11, 2009).
New York, huh. Now that will be a killer one for sure.
New York is too far !
i hope in next August i be there
Good luck for that event! Enjoy your stay at Vegas.
lol you said sausage fest
the commenting section is much improved. now the reply fields clear automatically. nice one..
that event does seem super worth it
I’ve seen this affiliate marketing magazine mentioned a lot lately and I like the looks of it. I just put in my free 1 year subscription early today.
.happy new year to all.
great post i really like that.
I just noticed that Jim The Net Fool also posted about this magazine. Seems to be getting pretty popular now.
I just stumbled upon your site. My loss as I would have definately liked to have come to the Affiliate Summit West. I bookmarked this site to return, as not to miss any more upcoming events! Great Blog BTW can’t believe I missed this one.
Nice of you to mention the woman of affiliate marketing and Feed Front magazine! I have a photo of you and your booth, next year I promise to have a better camera!! Was great seeing you at Affiliate Summit.

Why you like to give this kind of facial expressions in all your photos? Are you overexcited?
Feed Front magazine looks great one , but i don’t think that i can get any copy of it
Affiliate marketing has bright future. Tough it needs hard and sincere work at the starting phase but after some time you start earning through the efforts of others. I always like to attend such summits because these give you a new platform to share the views and to know the modern ways of easy earning.
Affiliate Marketing is not the sausage fest it seems. Lol, same hear hope sometime in the near future I will be able to attend an event like this.
