Photo of Andrew WeeAndrew Wee (@andrewwee), who is an internet marketing consultant, affiliate marketer and blogger on WhoIsAndrewWee.com, was our special guest this week.

Andrew joins us from 12 hours in the future, Hiro Nakamura-style from Singapore (that’s 10,000+ miles away, a 20-hour plane ride or a mere .5 second jaunt for those of you that can travel at the speed of light.)

The topics that were spewed today were:

  • How the convergence of social media and affiliate marketing has helped us embark on a new age of international collaboration.
  • Making the world your market – why businesses need to focus on their international marketing strategies and things to prepare for to make it happen.
  • International Affiliate Recruitment Strategies for Merchants.
  • The trends, issues and challenges in the Asian market and how the social media space is shaping up in Andrew’s neck of the woods.
  • The ubiquitous dilemma of merging or excluding one’s personal life when it comes to business, and how it all plays out on Twitter or Facebook.
  • The fine line between authenticity and stupidity on Twitter
  • Why women make better podcasters then men.
  • FeedFront Magazine is now available for the Kindle.
  • Lisa’s upcoming op-ed piece in the San Francisco Chronicle on California’s AB178.
  • Connie’s breaking news on the Minnesota Omnibus Bill #advertisingtax.

MissyWard.com runs on the Thesis Theme Framework

If you’re an affiliate who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, HTML, or CSS, Thesis will give you a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via extensive hooks and filters. And with so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site.

Those of you who are “in between,” like myself, can use the fantastic Thesis User’s Guide and world-class support forums to make more professional customizations than you ever thought possible. The theme is not only highly customizable, but it allows me to build sites with a much more targeted focus on monetization than ever before. You can find out more about Thesis below:
