New York City is the current setting for Affiliate Summit East and there’s no shortage of events to go to and people to meet. While Sunday was officially the first day of the summit, festivities actually kicked off Saturday, August 8, with a night of various sponsored parties in Midtown. The following morning, the Christian Affiliate Marketing Association’s (CAMA) held their regular conference Gospel Brunch. For the first time since the CAMA brunch began at Affiliate Summit, Share Results was one of the proud sponsors of the event. It may have been off site, but the commuting was well worth it as the CAMA brunch took place at the legendary Cotton Club in Harlem and was an opportunity to get out and about in the city.
An “interactive” gospel music performance was coupled with a heavenly soul food-style brunch (shout out to Helen Slade and her ensemble for a powerhouse performance). If you missed this event, I strongly encourage you to sign up for the next CAMA brunch at the forthcoming summit in Las Vegas.

So it’s official: Share Results is heading to New York City for Affiliate Summit East 2009. The conference takes place from August 9-11 at the Hilton New York in New York City, and the Share Results team will be there to network with partners, peers, affiliates and colleagues. We’ll also be sponsoring one of the events.
Two members of the Share Results team will be on hand to meet with existing and prospective affiliates and merchants. The first is our very own CEO, Nicky Senyard. And the other is our long-time affiliate manager, Maranda Moses. To schedule an appointment with Nicky or Maranda during Affiliate Summit East, send an email to bizdev@shareresults.com.
The event that Share Results is sponsoring is the CAMA Gospel Brunch. The CAMA’s Gospel Brunch will be at the historic Cotton Club, is open to everyone, and will feature a delectable menu. And we want to see you there so badly that we’re offering Share Results affiliates enjoy a special rate of just $30. But seats are limited, so register now for your special rate!

Blogs, ning, myspace, wikis, facebook, twitter, youtube. web-based CRM, google docs…What the heck is a website nowadays? Just about anyone can have a web presence. The options are endless: personalize a twitter account, edit wikipedia, create an event on facebook, and on and on. At Affiliate Summit East, a panel of marketing experts will explore the traditional website model, with a focus on their evolving role in a business plan. For details on the session, check out the agenda (where this session is listed about a quarter down the page).
Two participants on the panel have blogs that delve into these issues. (We’re adding the to the BAMroll because if they’re at Affiliate Summit, they must be into affiliate marketing.) Take a sneak peak at their positions to get a sense of how the discussion might go.
Let us know if you’re going to the Affiliate Summit, which begins August 9 in New York. If you’d like to speak with Nicky Senyard (CEO), or Maranda Moses (Affiliate Manager) about how Share Results could serve your website-related needs, they would be happy to set up an appointment. Like the panelists above, we have lots to say about what websites are! Of course, what we say will depend on your needs. Even if you’re not going to Affiliate Summit, email us anyway to have our own ’session’ to discuss what websites are for. Get the conversation started by emailing us at info@shareresults.com.
See you next Thursday, with our final Affiliate Summit focused BAMroll update!

The two new additions to the Big Affiliate Marketing blogroll will both be attending Affiliate Summit East. This must-attend event is held in New York City from August 9th to 11th. If you go, you would have the chance to meet these bloggers, and also Share Results Affiliate Manager Maranda Moses, and CEO Nicky Senyard.
Both of this week’s affiliate marketing bloggers also happened to write about contests and boats in their most recent post. Coincidence? You tell us
Many of the other bloggers we’ve featured on the BAMroll will be attending Affiliate Summit East. A good way to find out is to download the OPML file found on our BAMroll page, to get a feed of recent posts from BAMrollers. Those who are attending will surely be mentioning it in coming weeks. And maybe they’ll share their entry videos too!

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…BAMrollers! This week’s additions to our Big Affiliate Marketing blogroll aim high, and with good intention. They blog because they want to share their wealth of knowledge so you can get wealthy. Both blogs document projects, and were created just a few months ago–in April and May 2009, respectively. To continue to track their projects, and to stay updated with the other 50-some-odd awesome BAMrollers, download the OPML file on the BAMroll page. They can all be your heros, baby. Already a hero/BAMroller? Get a badge! We hope it matches your cape/site

A little while back, we posted an interview with Wade Tonkin on affiliate trends in 2009. This is the second part of that time we caught up with Wade at Affiliate Summit West 2009.
In this interview, Wade discusses how he thinks the current economic climate is going to affect the affiliate marketing industry. Essentially, Wade sees a lot of opportunity for both merchants and affiliates in a downturn economy.
Wade is widely known for his work through GTO Management and the Christian Affiliate Marketing Association.

A couple weeks ago, we went to Podcamp Toronto and delivered a session on affiliate marketing titled Monetizing Communities: Ethics and Strategies. Well, the footage of that session has finally been posted, so we wanted to share it with everyone who could be there with us. At 30 minutes, it’s a bit long, but we explore how online commuity hosts can use affiliate marketing to monetize without compromising the integrity of their community.
The organizers of Podcamp have also posted a media archive of all the sessions. With other presenters including the likes of Chris Brogan, Dave Fleet, Mark Blevis, Terry Fallis and Michelle Sullivan, it’s an archive that’s well worth checking out.

We recently had the pleasure of sitting in on Chris Brogan’s session at Podcamp Toronto 2009. It was called “Heresy, Hypocrisy, and SIn,” and it was about how (1) money isn’t a bad thing, so (2) there’s nothing wrong with trying to make money from your blog, community, or whatever have you. In fact, one of Chris’ concluding points was to give affiliate marketing a second thought — or a first one if you haven’t yet considered it.
Chris segwayed segued into his session by talking about the economy. He discussed unemployment projections, and how the economy is affecting oil, journalism, and IT. These are the highlights from those introductory remarks. You can also watch his entire 30 min session here.

This past weekend, the Share Results team (or some of us) headed to Podcamp Toronto 2009. For an informal gathering governed by the law of two feet, and we got to sit in on a lot of interesting sessions, including one by Chris Brogan.
Our CEO, Nicky Senyard, and I even delivered a session of our own, called Monetizing Communities: Ethics and Strategies. In it, we explored some the challenges involved in generating revenues around online communities (both practical and ethical), and how affiliate marketing can offer a way to negotiate those challenges. Here’s the Powerpoint from our presentation.
We’d also like to give a shout out to some of the many, many people we met. If we leave anyone out, either I can’t find your moo card, or your blog was just too NSFW
— Terry Fallis, Dave Fleet, Adele McAlear, David Jones, Martin Waxman, Mark Blevis, Kim Vallee, Sylvain Grand’Maison, Jeff Parks, Alexa Clark, Malcom Bastien, and co-organizer Jay Moonah.
