Affiliate Summit : Homework Is Essential

I never thought that I would need to do any homework before going to the Affiliate Summit. But, after browsing through the contents of the Affiliate Summit homepage, it’s networking site & related blogs in detail – I find that the Summit offers too much to be consumed.

• There are 1000+ companies registered to participate in the event.
• There are 124 booths setup by companies to showcase their products & services.
• There are 25 hours of closed door conference sessions with industry leaders.
• There are 4 hours of ‘open to all’ conference sessions.
• Attendee numbers are expected to cross 2000+.
• There are 2 dinner bashes to socialize.

With so much people, with in depth knowledge on their specialized fields – culminating at the venue – it’s just going to provide an enormous wealth of informations to be learnt. Also, it would be a great opportunity to meet industry leaders, affiliate networks we work with and fellow affiliate marketers with abundance of knowledge. My head started to spin when I put in all these facts together.

My immediate questions were

• what should I do to utilize the knowledge base that is going to be available at this event?
• how should I organize myself to learn more from this event?

Well, the answers also came in as a result of checking blogs on ‘what to do’ as an affiliate summit first timer. I have decided to do my homework!

My homework plan

• I need to understand my objectives and set a goal for me.
• List companies that would be of interest to me & learn more about them.
• Set up my event schedule by choosing the sessions that I should participate.
• List individuals that I should meet & learn more about them.
• Prepare an elevator speech to expose who I am.
• Create a Business Card specific to this event.

With these homework plans in mind, I have made printouts of the Exhibit Hall & Meet Market layouts – that would be useful to get an orientation to visiting the booths.

And I have compiled a document to list the Sessions available at the Summit. You can download my word document – Affiliate Summit East 2008 : Sessions Overview – over here. It would be useful to analyze and choose which session you need to attend since there would be upto THREE SESSIONS taking place at the same time.

Am just getting excited as the days near by and my homework continues…

Affiliate Summit Mentor

It has been an adventurous day for me!

I was just wondering where to start, what to expect and how to move around at the Affiliate Summit East 2008. As I mentioned in my earlier post, this would be my first affiliate event – so, I felt that I have been left in a maze and I should find my own way out.

But, thanks to Teresa Caldwell – I have found a helping hand through the Affiliate Summit Mentor Program for the first timers at the event. It’s a fantastic concept to help first timers to get orientation of the Summit and a good guidance on what to expect there. The learning process to get the start is shortened and we could dive in to figure out ways to enhance our knowledge at the conference.

I have already begun to execute the basic ideas provided for the first timers and seasoned affiliate marketers alike – I have started networking!

I have created my profile at the Affiliate Summit Network, browsed around for like minded people and have started to establish contacts with them. One interesting personality I have made contact with is Ian Fernando! I have been reading his blogs for some time, and it’s great feeling that I could meet him in person at the Summit.

I should thank Teresa Caldwell once more for showing the way to network through Facebook. I have created my facebook profile today!

Networking is a great way to start… and I think I am on the right track!!

Affiliate Summit East 2008 : My First Event

There’s a bonus for my readers too!! I have decided to share my thoughts and ideas on the new techniques and rich informations I would be getting out of this event. So, drop in often & catch up with the latest developments in the affiliate marketing industry.
