We are just over two months away from Affiliate Summit East 2011 and this year they have stepped their game up even more.
Of course there will be the regular sessions available being led by some of the most knowledgeable people in the affiliate industry.
Of course there will be the exhibit hall and meet market which blow away the exhibit halls at any of the other industry conferences.
Of course there is the great networking opportunities which in many ways are more valuable than the rest of the conference.
Of course there will be the thousands of attendees, speakers, exhibitors and sponsors.
Of course there will be the keynotes from people like Marc Ostrofsky, Jon Spoelstra, Bryan Eisenberg, and Wil Reynolds (don’t miss this one! Wil is almost always the best speaker at any event he speaks at).
Of course there will be all the late night strategy sessions (i.e. hanging out at the bar), dinners, long walks in the park, and everything else New York has to offer.
But in addition to all of that there will be two more extra day long seminars from two of the smartest people in the industry. These two events aren’t included in your Affiliate Summit pass and require their own registrations.
The first one: Full Day SEO Training Course with Rae “Sugarrae” Hoffman-Dolan
If you have been to Affiliate Summit’s before you might have heard Rae (also know as “Sugarrae”) do one of the great SEO Clinics where she breaks down sites from the audience members and let’s them know how they can improve their SEO. She will have that session again at ASE11 at 2:00 PM on Sunday but on Saturday before Affiliate Summit really kicks off she will be doing an all day SEO training course.
In this course Sugarrae will cover topics like basic on-site SEO and site arcitecture, overcoming common SEO issues created by datafeed driven websites, building quality links, tracking SEO efforts, and a bunch more. It won’t just be theory but she will be showing you the techniques she uses on her own very successful affiliate sites.
I have met Rae a couple times (I think Pubcon in Boston in 2003 was the first time) and from everything I have seen from her she is the definition of straight shooter. She will tell it like it is. If you have ever read her blog (Sugarrae.com) you will see that she tells it like it is and that is what I want from a speaker, especially if I am gonna pay to hear them talk.
There is little doubt in my mind that you will be able to take the information Rae will be teaching, implement it on your sites, and make your registration fee back. Register today (It will cost you $1299) and be ready to learn more about SEO for affiliate sites than you imagined possible.
And be sure to buy her a beer afterwards.
The second one: Local Affiliate Lead Generation Bootcamp with Jeremy “Shoemoney” Schoemaker
Jeremy Schoemaker is loved by many and hated by some. Pretty much everyone seems to have an opinion on him but you will rarely find anyone who will dispute the fact that the dude knows how to make money online. He has started many very successful web companies and projects and when it comes to local lead generation he really knows his stuff.
This one day, 8 hour bootcamp will teach you about local lead generation which is a very hot topic right now. You will learn what local affiliate marketing is, how you can get clients, what services to offer, how to upsell, and what kind of legal things you should worry about. Jeremy will show you some case studies on projects he worked with and show you how he generates local leads for many different types of customers.
There are only 200 seats available for this and all the net proceeds will go to AffiliateMarketersGiveBack.com. The cost of this bootcamp is only $295 and I know you can easily make that back (many times in a day) with just one successful local lead generation campaign. Register today.
Add those two events to the awesomeness of Affiliate Summit and you are sure to walk away from the conference with more information than you will know what to do with. If you are serious about making money online you NEED to be at Affiliate Summit and at one (or even both) of these great day long seminars. Register for Affiliate Summit in NYC today.
Also I will be there speaking (Tuesday, 11:30 in room 2) with Stephanie Lichtenstein and Lisa Picarille talking about utilizing social media in niche markets. I will also be there covering the whole conference as a member of the press so if you want to schedule and interview please get ahold of me and let me know.
