Affiliate Marketing Fanatics – A Publisher (Mike Buechele) and an Affiliate Manager (Trisha Lyn Fawver) talk about all things Affiliate Marketing. From blogging to branding, social media to search, video and more!

Show Notes by Trisha Lyn Fawver… as always :)

We kept it short & sweet this week, but hey!  We did two weeks in a row!  YES… I’m patting us on the back for that.  We talked briefly about some things that have been going on in the industry this week, and had a short & sweet conversation with limited tangents.  And almost no discussion of Twitter, other than a third party service mention.  Since it was so short I messed with outro music too, which brought us to a pleasantly succinct 19:30.  In in this episode we discuss:

  • The fantastic fill in job Eric Nagel did last week.
  • Affiliate Day came & went on September 14th.
  • Sponsored Tweets picked up their traffic
  • CJU, despite neither of us going.
  • How cool it is when industry celebs remember you!
  • Halloween & Fall promotions are upon us!
  • Fantasy Football with Jason Rubacky and Shawn Collins… and a brief girl’s guide to how scoring works.

    This week on the Affiliate Thing podcast, Shawn Collins and Lisa Picarille get into the latest in affiliate marketing and some random stuff.

    This show touches on an opportunity for anybody to start their own podcast on GeekCast.fm, affiliate fatblogging, an affiliate use of Twitter, and jobs in affiliate marketing.

    To Follow or Unfollow on Twitter - Which is the Fail?

    Also, there was some chatter on people that complain when they’re unfollowed on Twitter, a contest to go to a party at the Playboy Mansion, LinkShare Symposium West, the latest affiliate widgets from Amazon, and annoying guys that pretend to be gurus.
