Noooooo!

Hey Shawn, Linda will go if you provide her with a free masseuse at the end of each day.

[Linda Buquet]

YOU!!!! I don't need no stinkin' peer pressure...
I put enough pressure on myself.

Thanks so much Shawn, really appreciate it!
But it's not money for me, in fact I need the tax write-off.

Now maybe if you offered me plenty of ice packs, a massaging wheelchair,
a cute young personal masseur for therapy every night after the show
plus lots o DRUGS I could swing it!

[Linda Buquet]

OMG Jamie, we were posting at the same time.
You are SOOOOO psychic! You KNOW what I like!
(Except it needs to be a masseur)

PS I won't take pain killers so was kidding about the drugs.

BUT now a massage every night... That could do it!

The Aff Summits are always awesome.

I think Linda couldn't make it to the last ASW cos I heard your grand child was due?

Else it would've been an excellent opportunity to meet.

I'll be giving ASE a miss, too much backlog to clear.

I did get the word direct from Shawn that ASW will be in Feb 2008 at the Rio in Vegas.

I've already cleared my schedule and will be looking forward to meeting you folks there!

Wow Andrew - good memory. Yes missed the one in January. Flew my family up to Portland to meet and play with my newborn Grandson.

Traveling for family isn't quite so bad. My son got me an airbed which was really comfortable.
Curb-side pickup by family instead of standing in taxi lines.
I sat around all day on a comfy couch, holding grand babies.
That's the kind of trip I can handle!

Important heads up - we've had a big surge in registrations in the past day and we're nearing capacity.

Trying to get an extension on the space, but won't know until the work week.

We might be closing down registrations VERY soon. So if you plan to register, do it now.

[Linda Buquet]

Thanks so much for the heads up Shawn. Would hate to have anyone miss out
due to procrastination.

Guys,
Look beyond the cost if you're serious about affiliate marketing.

At the last aff summit, although i didn't get to meet Linda, I met up with Jamie Fortunaso, who's one of nicest AMs around, and got to talking to the Copeac folks, and the meet and greet at the tradeshow, with the gathering of 30+ aff networks was phenomenal.

The best part was hanging out with the other affiliates and sharing ideas, and you'd be surprised how the flurry of IMs after the show translates into friendships.

I blogged about ASE 2007 here: Affiliate Summit West 2006 Wrap Up at Andrew Wee | Blogging | Affiliate Marketing | Social Traffic Generation | Internet Marketing

The standout sessions were Pepperjam's Kris Jones' search engine arbitrage session and the Super Affiliate panel which had Shoemoney, Aojon and Andrew Johnson doing a brief presentation and doing a Q&A after.
I believe there're some scattered clips on YouTube.

But like they say "you hafta be there!"

Revenue Allies will be at Affiliate Summit Miami. We will be at the Sunday Meet Market as well as exhibiting throughout the show at Booth #65.

I look forward to meeting with both current affiliate partners and future ones.
