Linkcontrol Unveil at Affiliate Summit West 2011 (SEMI NSFW)

by on January 13, 2011 · 91 comments

Here is the video from my sponsored session unveiling our newest product Linkcontrol at Affiliate Summit West.

Keep in mind the debut was at 6pm at night… and started at the same time as the National Championship Football game so I thought there was going to be like 20 people there.

I was wrong ;)

You can view my full 38 minute presentation including the epic Rob Hustle + our Linkcontrol AM’s dancing here:

Like I said before everyone who was in the audience will receive a free account for life. (we gave out over 800 invite codes!!).

Special thanks to Rob Hustle for coming up with a KILLER rap intro.

Ian Fernando has a better closeup video of Rob and the girls getting down here:

I think our Linkcontrol affiliate managers did a great job on the intro:

Tina Lee, Angelique Castaneda, Ashley Alvarez,  Nikita Esco, and Monique Palma

(I was sticking my chest out to try to fit in…)

Welcome Tina Lee, Angelique Castaneda, Ashley Alvarez, Nikita Esco, and Monique Palma to the Linkcontrol team.

For everyone asking for invite codes we will start to slowly accept new members starting next week so make sure you get setup.

1 Rob Hustle

That show was a lot of fun. Thanks to Shoemoney for putting that together, and thanks to Nikita and the rest of the dancers for putting it down vegas style! Here are the lyrics for the rap:

CHORUS
you need some link control, so you can get paid
forget that 9 to five, baby we self made

we make it online, cuz that’s the way we do
come click this link i think i got something to offer you

VERSE
the network is stealing my campaigns
i know that they’re using my data to target my demographics
affilates jacking my landers don’t even change out the graphics

thank god that i been cloakin my traffic about to go do something drastic
i find out who’s takin my money you know that they gettin they ass whipped

i became an affiliate just to escape from my 9 to 5 hell
i aint lockin away in a cubicle might as well lock me away in a cell

i tell

anybody that want to be free, you always a slave if you working for wages
once you start making money online
you find that the shit can get kinda contageous

but you can’t be a dummy with monetization
cuz profitability really its just a condition
resulting from testing and optimization
running your ads at the right time of day
mixed with some geolocation
combined with the maximum payout available
scale it and crush it with mass automation

CHORUS x2

Hated the “rap crap” and you lost a lot of my respect by degrading women. Both were totally unnecessary and didn’t add a thing to the value of your product. I mean really, when you have a daughter that age are you going to like seeing her nearly naked and watching men undress her the rest of the way with their eyes/imagination.

Pretty crappy marketing Shoe. I think it devalued your product on many levels.

Thanks for the comment….

Maybe someday you could crawl out from the bridge you live under and put in a real email that does not bounce when I try to contact you (or website for that matter).

Until then I will keep having fun ;)

@Mary-

Have you ever met Jeremy? I can see you might not like Rap music but to say Jeremy is degrading to women is silly.

Did you miss the part about all the women on the board of directors for this product?

Did you miss the part about Jeremy raising over $37,000 for breast cancer research?

Yea sounds like someone who loves to disrespect women. Get a life.

It’s LAS VEGAS fercryinoutloud! Everything is supposed to be over the top. CHILL. I have four daughters and I had a nice chat with the girls before the show. They were all very bright and engaging. The intro was entertainment-there were a lot of women in the audience and they were all into it. Besides,the girls were dressed rather conservatively for Vegas. Rap’s not my thing, personally, but the whole spirit in the room was really cool (yeah I was there- I even took a picture with the girls).

“A recent survey conducted by the Affiliate Summit found that of the 2,000 affiliates who participated over 65% thought the affiliate network they were working with was not giving them credit for sales they were getting. Over 80% of affiliates said they believe their affiliate network is stealing their data to run their own campaigns.” The pitch that got me instantly hooked. Thanks for the free code, Jeremy.

Hey,

I attended Jeremy’s presentation, “A Beginner’s Course on Blog Monetization”, Affiliate Summit West 2011.

I really appreciated this presentation.

I missed the Linkcontrol.com unveil by my own accord so I did not receive an invite code :( .

Something interesting I found, http://www.eca.sh/, “Free Viral URL Shortener Earns You Easy Money Doing What You’re Already Doing! Includes Free Affiliate Link Brander And Detailed, Real-Time Stats”.

Now that Jeremy’s no compete is up, I feel some similar feature to the Linkcontrol.com application would be interesting as well.

Thank you, DW

Hi Jeremy, Great presentation!! Now mind you, I have little computer skills but what you describe you will be able to accomplish with LINKCONTROL sounds remarkable. I am a 60 year old, hard working, but unemployed Carpenter, Married with 3 boys and at age 60 I’m looking to change to a profession that I can support my family and not be so stressed as to how I’m going to pay next weeks bills. My bank account always seems to be in the negative and I’ve got to turn things around fast. I know WHA-WHA-WHA. This was my choice some 35 years ago. Poor Choice!
I am inspired by your success and the way you truly seem to want to help people like me find away to enjoy life.
While looking for away to pay my mortage is month and being turned down by all the eloan sites. (Poor credit, unemployed) I came across your Shoemoney site. And after doing some research I found LINKCONTROL.
Which sounds amazing. I immediately wanted to sign in and get an account started even though I didn’t know what to do with it yet. I’m desperate and need help in changing my career before it’s to late.
Is there any possibilty that you ,and or, your staff could consider me as a “project”: or a “guinnie pig” and help me to get on the road to financial success. I am more than willing to put the time in I just don’t have the working capital.
I appologize for being so wordy but I need someone to believe in me.
Sincerely,
Steve Sprague

Hi, I am really happy I’ve found this information. Nowadays bloggers publish just about gossip and internet stuff and this is actually irritating. A good site with exciting content, that’s what I need. Thanks for making this website, and I will be visiting again.

I have to express my thanks to you just for rescuing me from this particular crisis. Right after exploring throughout the the web and meeting opinions that were not powerful, I figured my life was gone. Living without the solutions to the problems you have fixed through the site is a crucial case, as well as the kind which might have adversely damaged my entire career if I hadn’t come across your web site. Your own skills and kindness in playing with every part was vital. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a step like this. It’s possible to at this time look forward to my future. Thanks a lot so much for the specialized and amazing guide. I will not be reluctant to endorse your blog post to anybody who needs care about this issue.

My spouse and i got quite fortunate that Albert could finish up his preliminary research while using the ideas he obtained through the blog. It’s not at all simplistic just to happen to be giving out information that a number of people might have been making money from. We really do know we have the blog owner to thank for this. The type of explanations you made, the easy website navigation, the friendships your site make it possible to promote – it is everything astonishing, and it’s helping our son in addition to the family reason why the idea is entertaining, and that’s quite fundamental. Thanks for all the pieces!

Oh how wonderful – I try login to my account this AM and I can’t. Support tells me your Link Control has been shut down indefinitely.

Wtf?

Did you notify your customers? I never received any notice, and have lost traffic and $ because of this lack of support.

Next time I suggest you alert your members if you are shutting down a critical hosted service like this.
