Affiliate Summit East 2007 Kicks Thing Off With A Bang

Officially the Affiliate Summit has started, and let me tell you, whoa. There are so many people attending now from across the affiliate marketing spectrum. Affiliates (Publishers), Merchants (Advertisers) and Networks cram into a room for the official kick-off event, the “Affiliate Meet Market.” There was such a strong showing, that it was not long before everyone was struggling to make their way from table to table, waiting one behind another, to chat with representatives. It is little surprise that this event is has grown to over 1800 people in a just a couple of years.

I had a great time seeing and touching base with so many people that I have met through the Affiliate Summit in the past, and had the wonderful opportunity of meeting so many more people. I already find it difficult to know where to start when sharing all the great affiliate programs and networks I came across today. However, there was one thing that really jumped out and I think is very interesting. Joel Comm, the “Doctor Adsense”, has put together a reality TV show for the internet called “The Next Internet Millionaire.” Now this has much more to do with Internet Marketing than Affiliate Marketing, but it will be interesting to see how affiliates can capitalize of this reality TV show contest.
