by Missy Ward Affiliate Marketing

AffiliateDay AdIf you’ve checked out FeedFront Magazine, Issue #7, then you know that Shawn Collins and I were spontaneously inspired to create Affiliate Day — a day to recognize the power of Affiliate Marketing.

We will be holding several fun-filled promotions over the course of the day, designed to increase awareness of the industry and reward affiliate marketers with all sorts of goodies, including passes to Affiliate Summit West 2010 in Las Vegas.

Affiliate Summit East 2009 Sellout

by Missy Ward Affiliate Marketing


Affiliate Summit East 2009 is on schedule to sell out by Friday, July 31, 2009, based on sales patterns of past Affiliate Summits.

Shawn Collins announced that as of yesterday, there were 325 registration slots remaining.

Well, as of this morning, there are now only 272 seats left.

If you’re planning on attending the conference, I wouldn’t delay registering any longer. Having been through many Affiliate Summit sell-outs before, it isn’t pretty. The wait list typically does not clear ahead of time and we can not guarantee that you will be able to get into the conference if you just show up.

    Free Affiliate Marketing Information

    by Missy Ward Affiliate Marketing

    Photo of the word I’ve been receiving a lot of emails lately from folks that are interested in getting started in affiliate marketing. Maybe it’s economy-driven or maybe…just maybe…. bloggers are finally realizing that it’s OK to make money from their blogs ;-)

    Either way, I dig it. There’s no better feeling than teaching someone how to make a few extra bucks a month via affiliate marketing; and even better, to help affiliates take their existing affiliate marketing efforts to the next level.

    Unfortunately, while I’d love to take everyone under my wing that asks for advice, there’s just no way that I can do it. I’m completely overextended right now.

    That being said, my business partner Shawn and I put out a ton of content that is available to everyone, absolutely FREE.

    Dive into the links below. You’ll find that all levels and aspects of affiliate marketing are covered. It’s my sincere hope that you’ll find something that fits your needs.
