Amy Rodriguez — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:00:12 +0000

This session took place at Affiliate Summit West 2008 in February 2008.

Video Innovation in Affiliate Marketing

Websites without video will go the way of the dinosaur. More video content means a wider long-tail. There is a wealth of opportunity for affiliate marketers to use video in innovative ways.

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics Episode 3: Twitter in a Tumblr with a splash of Gary Vaynerchuk

Trisha Lyn Fawver — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:45:40 +0000

We’ve finally determined that the audio problems were due to Trisha’s headset this week as she stole the stand alone boom mic from her husband’s computer and the sound is excellent. Third time’s the charm! So now you won’t have to listen to a bad recording for our quality content!

We jumped around a bit today and covered a lot, so this episode is longer than the last two clocking in at about 40 minutes. We talk a lot about Twitter and decided that we live most of our lives through Twitter. We also give some shout outs at the end, as I promised last week.

Show Links:

TweepMe and the creator’s account being suspended.
Still getting used to the new Facebook.
A few more words about Gary Vaynerchuk and his SXSW video.
WeFollow, a survey about Twitter, and the Twouble with Twitters (careful, the video is on autoplay).
Sony made a deal with Google to enhance their Sony Reader line up (watch out, Kindle!)

For the sake of driving the point home, Trisha talks more about the grass roots fight going on against California Assembly Bill 178, which is looking to do in California what the so-called Amazon Tax did in New York. Here are some links she mentioned and some from the March 3rd episode of Affiliate Thing:

Affiliate Marketing Fanatics Episode 2: Sweet Success

Trisha Lyn Fawver — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:23:30 +0000

Success! After some trials and tribulations with Skype, wookies, Call Graph, Pamela, and a totally un-listenable recording from earlier in the week, we finally have a decent episode! HUGE shout out and thanks to Joe Magennis of Geek Dads @ Home for some great step-by-step instructions to help a couple of fledgling podcasters out! We still had some issues with sound quality but I think I got most of those out in the edit. So, without further ado take a listen.

Show Links:

We discuss Theme Wars between Thesis & DIYthemes, Woo Themes, and WP Unlimited.
Affiliate Classroom re-branding to Lurn, Inc.
Consolidating and syncing personal blogs using Posterous.
A few words about Gary Vaynerchuk on Tumblr.
