1. A Day in the Life of an Affiliate Marketer

I’m going to take you on a little tour of a day in the life of an affiliate marketing. In this case, it’s a chronicle of what I did on Wednesday, November 14, 2007.

Since I get questions about my typical day at AskShawnCollins.com from time to time, I thought I’d put together a short video to tell the story.

My day consists of various things related to being an affiliate, affiliate manager and working on the Affiliate Summit conference.

3. The Great Affiliate Road Rally

I was playing around with my dog the other day. She likes salami, but she doesn’t like remote controlled cars.

So I presented her with a dilemma - what if a delicious piece of salami was on top of a remote controlled car?

While driving the car around my house, it occurred to me that there must be a way to incorporate playing with cars (not necessarily including dogs and deli meats) and Affiliate Summit.

I thought it would be fun to have a goofy event to wrap up Affiliate Summit 2008 West, taking place February 24-26, 2008 in Las Vegas.

So here it is - the closing event of Affiliate Summit will be a charity race of remote controlled cars. We’ll create some sort of course, and anybody can enter for a fee (all proceeds to a charity we’ll be announcing soon).

It will be BYOC (bring your own car).

The winner will get a free booth for Affiliate Summit 2008 East, which will be August 10-12, 2008 in Boston.

And that’s how The Great Affiliate Road Rally was born. Just a little brainstorming over RC cars, dogs, and cold cuts.

Keep an eye on the Affiliate Summit blog and newsletter for more details.

5. Ativa DQ120D Diamond-Cut Shredder Reviewed

The Ativa DQ120D Diamond-Cut Shredder is a product I use on a daily basis in my office.

This shredder is great for destroying old business documents and junk mail - really anything you can think of that needs to be shredded.

But the Ativa DQ120D Diamond-Cut Shredder can tear up more than paper. If you’ve got an old CD of songs from an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend, stick them in here and they’re obliterated. Same goes for DVD’s.

Old credit cards or credit cards you don’t want can be shredded with this shredder, as well.

Your papers are stapled? No worries. You can run them through this machine, too.

I bought the Ativa DQ120D Diamond-Cut Shredder because of the diamond cuts. With a regular shredder, you’ll typically get straight cuts, which could possible be put together.

But this shredder chops pages into diamond-shaped 0.28″ x 2.09″ bits. Try putting together a document out of those tiny scraps!

The shredder can take up to 12 pages. In the past, I had shredders that claimed they would cut up as many as 8 pages, but they could really only handle about else they’d jam.

When it comes time to empty the Ativa DQ120D Diamond-Cut Shredder, the bucket pulls out easily.

In the past, I had one that was very top heavy, and you had to remove the top to empty it, which was a hassle.

It’s very easy to use, and I like it a lot, because it does the job.
