1. Affiliate Arbitrage Explained

Jon from Wicked Fire talks about his strategy for successful affiliate arbitrage at Affiliate Summit 2007 West in Las Vegas.

This is a particularly topical issue in light of the recent news that Google is disabling affiliate arbitrage accounts as of June 1st, 2007.

2. Vote for Shawn, Save the Babies

ShareASale recently ran a contest where they asked for video submissions that would explain the story behind their star logo.

Well, the video submissions are in, and now they are collecting votes for the videos through June 15.

My video, To Catch a Parasite, is among the finalists, and I come here humbly to you today to ask you to vote for my video.

I’m going to give you two reasons to vote for my video

  1. I think it’s the best video of the bunch - come on: timely parody, voice overs, multiple camera angles, etc.!
  2. A vote for my video is a vote for the March of Dimes.

You see, Affiliate Summit is working with the March of Dimes to raise money from affiliate marketers (as we did last year for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Nevada).

And if I win the ShareASale video contest prize of $1,000, I’ll be giving it all to the March of Dimes.

Don’t do it for me… do it to save babies from premature birth.

5. Affiliate Summit 2007 East Hotel Nearly Sold Out

I just received word from the Intercontinental that we are nearly at max occupancy for our room block. I had increased the amount of space last month and we have already booked into nearly all of it.

Unfortunately, as we currently have most of the hotel reserved for our group, it does not look as though we will be able to increase the block space again.

So please, if you have not already booked your room there, do it right away. I’d hate to see anyone get stuck having to commute from other hotels in Miami rush-hour traffic!

Information on booking your room at the Intercontinental can be found here: http://www.affiliatesummit.com/hotel.php.
