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.

Affiliates Generate More Commissions With Mini-Sites

Affiliates are always looking to find new ways to generate traffic and increase their commissions. Many times this is through list building and e-mails. Last night I learned about the power of Mini-Sites and the potential they offer for increased conversions and commission. Mike Filsaime hosted a webinar featuring Jim Edwards and his product. Jim explained the power of mini sites and how they dramatically increased his sales and conversions. The Mini Site Creator is a great way for Affiliates to learn how to build Mini-Sites. This may not be for everyone, but definitely is worth adding to your affiliate marketing arsenal.

Affiliate Marketing Explosion

Affiliate Marketing has seen amazing growth over the last couple of years. No single event has done more to showcase this increase than the Affiliate Summit. In one week, in Las Vegas, Affiliates, Affiliate Programs, Networks, Managed Services, and Software developers will come together to network and build relationships. Once again, tickets to this event have been sold out. Home Business Journal will be there to share all the new ideas and techniques used in Affiliate Marketing today.
