We are working with the March of Dimes, a non-profit health organization that works to prevent premature birth and other serious threats to infant health, this time around. The fundraising efforts kick off with AffiliateHug.com.
AffiliateHug.com is a joint effort between Affiliate Summit and Scott Hazard.
For an online donation of $20.00, individuals will receive a certificate entitling them to one (1) ScooterSqueeze™ from Scott and a “Freshly Squeezed” commemorative t-shirt. Certificates can be redeemed at the Affiliate Meet Market on Sunday, July 8, 2007 during Affiliate Summit.
Premature birth affects more than half a million babies in the U.S. every year. It’s the #1 cause of newborn death, and babies who survive may suffer lifelong consequences, such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, chronic lung disease, and vision and hearing loss.
So book your hugs at AffiliateHug.com and help the babies. All monies raised through AffiliateHug.com will go directly to the March of Dimes.
Stay tuned for more efforts to benefit the March of Dimes as we lead up to Affiliate Summit.
You can also help benefit the March of Dimes by casting a vote for my video entry in the ShareASale video contest.
The prize for the winner is $1,000, and if I win, I’ll donate all of the winnings to the March of Dimes.
The book is a little outdated at this point. I wrote it at the end of 2000, and it was published in April 2001. So basically, I wanted to recap Successful Affiliate Marketing for Merchants and provide some updates. And as an introduction to the video version of the book, I wanted to set some expectations.
I’m going to go through each chapter. The book is setup in three sections: What Affiliate Marketing Can Do for Your Business, Setting Up Your Affiliate Program, and Managing Your Affiliate Program.
Each video will be about 3-4 minutes. They won’t be so in depth, but rather a recap if you’re already familiar with the industry, or else a primer for folks that are new to affiliate marketing.
