So our CEO, Nicky Senyard, has been tinkering with video blogging, and is trying out a new format. It’s called Coffee with Nicky. She’ll be posting the videos on her blog, and you can also get an embeddable player that will always feature the latest episode on theCoffee with Nicky show page.

In any case, this is the Blip.tv player, but Nicky has also set up a Coffee with Nicky YouTube Channel.

So here at Share Results, we’ve always had a strong focus on building relationships. Whether it’s with merchants or affiliates, we believe that long-term relationships are the foundation of profitable business. After all, if you think about it, long lasting relationships are part and parcel of the long tail.

When we recently sat down with Le and Kunal to get to know them, then, it was just a matter of time before the conversation veered toward relationship based affiliate marketing. In this clip, these two members of the Share Results team discuss how relationship building has shaped both their personal experience in affiliate marketing and their careers writ large.

Just yesterday, we all got a chance to meet Le and Kunal, two affiliate managers here at Share Results. Well, today, they briefly discuss their philosophy of affiliate management. And they’re not just talking about affiliates; they’re talking about merchants too. Suffice it to say that there’s a reason we say that we’re a relationship-based network.

Like most people, I like to share my interests with others. So I started pushing some of the Share Results team on the idea of video blogging. Sooner or later, push came to shove, and I finally convinced Le and Kunal to sit down together in front of the camera.

We chatted a while, but this is just a bit of an introduction. I wanted everyone to get to know them a bit before I start posting their actual thoughts on affiliate marketing and new media.

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 is an interview with Andy Rodriguez, an affiliate marketing consultant. We caught up with Andy at Affiliate Summit West 2009 and sat down to chat about the upcoming year in affiliate marketing. One noticeable point he argues is that he doesn’t see the economy as a problem for affiliate marketers in 2009.

There’s a lot of background noise because the blogger’s room was so busy when Andy was free to sit down for a chat, but if you listen closely, you can make Andy out.

This is the third and final installment of our interview with Jeremy (Shoemoney) Schoemaker. Here, Jeremy discusses how he thinks the current state of the economy is going to affect affiliate marketing as a whole. Overall, he seems pretty optimistic, and articulates a very good reason to be so.

You can also check out Part I and Part II of our interview with Jeremy. And if you like these, you might consider subscribing to the Share Results YouTube channel which features all the other content that we brought back with us from Vegas.

Another of the interesting people we got to meet at Affiliate Summit West 2009 was Wade Tonkin of GTO Management and Christian Affiliate Marketing Association. We sat down with Wade to chat about the industry, and one of the many things that we discussed was upcoming affiliate marketing trends in 2009. In this clip, Wade discusses how he sees a lot of near-future potential for both mobile and video in the affiliate marketing space.

This will likely be only the first of several videos we post with Wade. So if you like what you see, consider subscribing to the ShareResults YouTube Channel where you’lll also find a slew of other videos that came out of the summit.

Here is the second installment of our three part series with Jeremy (Shoemoney) Schoemaker. Here, Jeremy discusses his recently released Shoemoney Tools, and how they offer marketers an edge in their online campaigns.
