The New Rich Blog

Yesterday night we have been to the Shareasale party. The party was really nice, on the roof of hotel in NY, free bar, appetizers… People were there mostly to network and meet other people but in a party atmosphere.
I hanged out, met people and just enjoyed the fact that i’m at that great party on the top of NY

The Shareasale Party

The second day of the Affiliate Summit started out with a real American breakfast - bacon, sausage, eggs and bagles (where are the vegetables?).

Then I head out to my first session for that day: “7 Deadly sins of landing page design”. Most of it wasn’t new to me, but it did strengthen stuff, very important stuff… You can read about those sins in this blog post.

Then we had lunch - really good and tasty lunch!

After the lunch I went to the main exhibition hall. Very big and a lot of interesting companies. I had one problem with the exhibition - there were just too many affiliate networks from the same type. Why do I need a hundred of networks that has the same offers?!

The Exhibition Hall (part of it)

Although it is not very valuable, who doesn’t like to get free stuff? So today I got:

• A hat for Hydra Network
• Squeeze ball from Smiley Media
• Another star shaped t-shirt from Shareasale (different color)
• Pen from RevenueWire
• Laptop sticker-stand from Disk Doctors
• Missile from Copeac

After that, I headed to the second session - “Social Media Marketing for Affiliates”. This was the most interesting session so far! I have learned a lot about the power of social networks and how I can use it do drive traffic to my offers and to my own product.

Then I went to the third session - “Advertising on Facebook”. It was a session with some experts, including Alex Schultz, a manager from Facebook itself. They actually talked a lot bla bla bla, but when people started asking questions, this is where the real tips started to be heard.

After the session I was pretty tired, and just hanged out with some friends at the coffee room.

At the end of the day, we went to the Clickbank exclusive cocktail party. And this was the place where I enjoyed the most all that day. It was a very small and intimate party, maybe around 30-40 people, with free drinks and appetizers. They also had a special cocktail - The Clickbank Moneymaker It was goooood.
I met some of the people in Clickbank. Very nice people, communicative and helpful.
Clickbank is actually improved a lot lately, and they are improving constantly. Some of the next improvements I have heard about at the party:

• A one way communication for vendors to write to their affiliates.
• TID also for vendors.
• Physical products - yes, Clickbank will actually start to support physical products!

I had a lot of fun at the Clickbank party. Then we headed out to the next party… Which held out in a club. So we (myself, Ilya Glezer and Ariel Soudak) went there, but just the line to get in was so crowded and noisy, and we were already tired. So we went home.

The club that we didn't got in to...

Wow, It is 2:38 AM now and I am still awake. Oh well, writing in the blog is more important… This was a very busy and fun day. Going to sleep now.

Good Night
