I just gave a presentation over the weekend, Saturday at 4pm to be exact, on Affiliate Marketing for Merchants and Best Practices for the New Life Event hosted by Shawna Fennell.

I’m not convinced that many of you are aware of what’s going on with the so called “Advertising Tax” (Rhode Island and North Carolina already passed this bill) but I think it’s time you stop pushing this issue aside and really take a deep look at what is happening. If you participate in affiliate marketing, [...]

If you still send out mass business emails through your Cox, Hotmail, AOL, MSN, or Gmail email address, than this is a wake-up call for you to STOP IMMEDIATELY! You’re wasting your email marketing efforts, your time, and most likely the opportunity to bring in revenue, which is why you’re sending these emails out in [...]
