I had a blast!
I got to see some some old friends and also made a ton of new ones.
I’ve been really busy playing catch up and I hope in the next day or two I will do a recap of my trip as well as posting some pictures.
Stay tuned!

Affiliate Marketing
The next MeetUp202: Seattle Area Affiliate Meetup is scheduled for tomorrow, April 18th between 2:00PM and 6:00PM at the Bellevue Regional Library located at
1111 110th Ave NE
Bellevue, WA 98004
So if you’re in the Seattle/Bellevue Area come and join us. It’s free and you will learn some great tips and meet with some other local affiliates. Even if you’re new at affiliate marketing or a season veteran, there is something for everyone. You can see all the details here and hope to see you there.
If you can’t make it tomorrow, we have already scheduled another meet-up on May 16th, same time and place.
Speaking of Meet-ups, there is will be a global MeetUp202: San Francisco Meetup during Ad:Tech next Wednesday, and it’s going to be off the hook.
I will be there and so will many others, like Jonathan Volk, Roger Kabir, Jasper Pangilinan and of course the guys of Prosper/Tracking202 just to name a few. There are still some spots left if you’re interested in going, but they are filling up fast so don’t delay.
So see you tomorrow or see ya in San Francisco.

In just a couple of weeks I will be attending my first Ad:Tech conference and I’m really looking forward to attending.
I’ve talk to a couple of friends and they said to just get the exhibit hall pass the first time around as many of the seminars are not really geared towards affiliates. So that is what I did, got my comfortable shoes and ready to do some walking.
I am going to be pretty busy while I am there. I’m flying from Seattle first thing Tuesday morning and heading right over to the hotel, check my bags and then right on to the exhibit hall.
On Tuesday night I will at Affiliate Summit’s Beer Garden from about 5:30PM until they get sick of me, or around 7:30 whatever comes first.
Then on Wednesday night I will be attending Meetup202 Ad:Tech Global Meet-up. So far as of last night 201 people have registered and it’s looking like it will be a complete “sell out”, although there is no charge to attend. Wes, Steve, and Nana are going to be putting on a great event. If your interested in attend I would suggest you register right away.
I will be staying at the Grand Hyatt on Union Square. I hope to see you there!

As some of you know Market Leverage had a Charity Bowl-a-Thon on Tuesday, March 31st to raise money for the Neimann-Pick Children’s Fund.
To help with raise money they decide to sell raffle tickets for a dollar a piece. I decide to donate and I was lucky enough to win a free Gold Pass to Affiliate Summit in New York in August.
So far these past 30 days have been I’ve been winning tons of stuff. Maybe I need to go by a lottery ticket….
I want to thank Dina Riccobono from Market Leverage for drawing my winning ticket, Missy Ward and Shawn Collins from Affiliate Summit for donating the prize.
But the real winner here is the Neimann-Pick Children’s Fund; in total the event raised around $4,000.00.
So what is Niemann-Pick Disease Type C?
Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NP-C) is a genetic pediatric neurodegenerative disorder causing progressive deterioration of the nervous system. It usually starts to affect children of school age (4-7 years old) by interfering with their ability to metabolize cholesterol. Consequently, large amounts of cholesterol accumulate within the liver, spleen, and brain. This metabolic disorder leads to a series of neurological problems that are ultimately fatal. NP-C is estimated to be 1 in 150,000 people worldwide, with only a couple hundred cases diagnosed in the world! NP-C is considered a Lysosomal Storage Disorder (Gaucher’s Disease is the most prevalent.)
It’s never too late to help out, you can go to here and donate to the fund, and you can even use your PayPal Account.
Niemann-Pick Children’s Fund, Inc is a Missouri Non-Profit Corporation (501(c)3 status pending) directed by the Stults Family and its board members.

Finally this quarter has ended and now I can get on with some things with business and personal wise.
So what else besides finals has been going on with me?
We hired a company to build a new affiliate tool/script and so far they have failed. We are hoping to hear back from them shortly. I am starting to get pissed. Next we will be filing a complaint with Elance and Paypal, even though I’ve never had luck getting refunds with Paypal.
I purchased Affiliate Theme from Unique Blog Designs and have played with it a little and looking forward to working with it some more this weekend.
On March 31st I will be attending a Biznik Workshop How to create Killer Websites with my buddy Mark McLaren of McBuzz Communications.
I am looking to attend Ad:Tech in San Francisco on April 21-23, plans are still in the works and should be finalized by the end of the week. I’m looking forward to hanging out with, Wes and Steven of Tracking202, Garrett from Epicenter, and Matt from Azoogle. Please let me know if your going, would love to meet-up with you too.
On April 18th, we are having another Meetup202 Seattle Affiliate Group at the main Bellevue Public Library; you can read more about the group and join us here.
These next couple of weeks are going to be extremely busy for more, but looking forward to the challenge.
