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!!
