Affiliate Marketing takes Las Vegas by Storm - Day 1

The most recent Affiliate Summit started off with a bang. Over 2200 attendees packed into the conference rooms at the Bally’s Hotel and Casino to get the latest insight into affiliate marketing and discuss upcoming internet trends. Speakers have come from all aspects of the internet industry to discuss SEO, Website creation, the affects of MySpace, Lead Generation, and the power of niches.
This is my third year attending the Affiliate Summit and I have seen it grow from 250 people to over 2000 in that time. I have seen the power of Affiliate Networks grow in affiliate marketing by leaps and bounds. When I started three years ago, there was just a handful of Networks to choose from. Now, the Affiliate Summit is full of them. Networks expose Affiliates to many different affiliate programs in just one resource. Networks can often vary in their specialty of Internet niches, but I found that many are providing access to the same affiliate programs. The difference in their service will come from how well they support Affiliates. Therefore, as an Affiliate, you can either subscribe to many different networks or simply find one that works best for you and build a relationship with one Network. Often a Network will be more than willing to provide contact information on existing Affiliates to ask questions before joining. If you would like more information on Affiliate Networks please e-mail me at rrowe@HomeBizJour.com.
