Affiliate Summit East 2013 Day 1 Observations – Homeless Zombie Addition #ASE13
If you’ve been reading my ramblings for a while you know how I cover conferences. There are no long well written posts here. I prefer to just post my thoughts and observations….granted, my thoughts can be kind of weird.
- Philadelphia is filled with homeless zombie types wandering all over the place. More people have asked me for 33 cents then have tried to give me a business card so far.
- The bigger/more expensive the watch, the smaller the penis (and likely the sooner that persons company is going out of business)
- A lot of people at Affiliate Summit don’t do affiliate marketing anymore, which there’s nothing wrong with. A lot of people seem to have moved to more stable areas of internet marketing.
- There seems to be a marked comeback of nutraceuticals which as just as uncompliant at Acai so expect another crackdown sooner than later.
- Fake it till you make it is alive and kicking. I was talking to some insiders about affiliate networks. Some of the affiliate networks you think are doing well, aren’t. I learned yesterday that one network that you would think kills it every month is doing about $250,000 revenue per month and making about $30,000 and then still having to pay about 8 employees. I say it all the time but KNOW WHO YOU’RE WORKING WITH & make sure you aren’t extending too much credit to these networks.
- The parties sucked pretty bad last night exept for Badger Ball which was pretty cool. If you want a badass party check out Affiliate Ball tonight!
- I feel bad for newbie affiliates who are trying to make it and live the dream. It’s going to be a long, hard, ugly road.
That’s all for now. Talk to ya’ll tommorow. If you see me today, say hello!
best advice ever, going to stick with growing the family business and not get distracted with other shit. thanks for the honest advice!
Wish I was there in person – but I’m with you in spirit.
@matt ies, gro home biznez. No monies here. Go awai.
what exactly is – more stable areas of internet marketing?
maybe they are doing e-whoring on CL?
Stable area of Internet marketing = the rev share side of affiliate marketing.
@Shawn – I do agree that side is far more stable assuming your business model isn’t based on just SEO
Oh yeah – I’ve never counted solely on SEO. Diversity in traffic sources is key, and I’ve always focused on my own list being the biggest driver.
That was really a gathering of gem of persons who toiled a lot in their professional life. That was not a place for an ordinary guy like me.
I need to get to one of these conferences ASAP. Sounds like I could have some fun with these guys!
you said; “I feel bad for newbie affiliates who are trying to make it and live the dream. It’s going to be a long, hard, ugly road.”
