Go To Affiliate Summit West On Me

written by John Chow on January 16th, 2008

Do you want to go to the Affiliate Summit that’s happening next month in Las Vegas but don’t have the $1,449 entry fee? Well, you are in luck! It just so happens I have an extra full conference pass that I don’t have a need for. Therefore, I figured I’ll give it to a deserving reader.

If you would like to receive this $1,449 ticket, write a post on why you want it, why you deserve it and what you hope to get out of the Affiliate Summit. Then send me the URL to the post. The best post will win the ticket. I’m only paying for the full conference pass (well, I may pay for dinner too). You still need to arrange your own air and hotel accommodations. The winner will be drawn at the end of this month. This will give you enough time to book your flight to Vegas.

I will be speaking at the Affiliate Summit on a panel with Zac Johnson and Amit Mehta on Tuesday in a session call Super Affiliate Strategies that Work. The panel will be moderated by Kristopher Jones of Pepperjam. You cannot afford to miss this session. See you in Las Vegas!

I’m busy during that time ;) Else I might try and go! Besides dinner with Mr.Chow how cool would that be!

ROFL thats a nasty tease :P

See, yet another reason why in the heck I have to move in US or Canada (far far from EU) all events and stuff are there. Just the flight would cost me double the ticket fee (and the hassle to get a visa for U.S.). Tho it would be great to be there.

I don’t know, John eats some pretty decent looking food. Just eat around the fat and you might be okay.

LOL who needs a diet when you party so much :o Partying naturally makes you skinny and fit somehow :p

You must party differently than I do because my belt size would disagree with you :roll: :???:

Personally, I’ve reverted to healthier eating habits for quite a while and let’s just say that I can see my cholesterol level rising just by looking at some of the images he’s posting :)

Haha, something along the lines of “I fancy my chances of outdrinking John Chow” may not work I think….

I’d like to go, but I’m not willing to turn my blog into a pity begging display for the rest of readers to see. I have a reputation to uphold. I’m sure a lot of bloggers feel the same way.

How about commenting on this post as an entry? :mrgreen:

Chris - I feel the same way you do, which is why I don’t enter this type of competition.

I would love to go… if it wasn’t for the fact that I’m currently in college. :(

I keep saying that I’m going to get myself to these conferences but the timing just never seems to work out. I wouldn’t be able to take the time away from the day job even if I won the ticket. I do have PubCon on my calendar for this year though so hopefully that one will actually happen.

Same here, I will be attending some once the children can take over my brick&mortar business but at this point, such events are out of the question due to lack of time.

I’ll have to get to work on that post. John, what happened to your rss subscriber count? It dropped by 4,000 overnight. Must be a glitch?

Any reason John?

I’m happy for you guys, even though I’m not sure anything new would come out from that summit - You can’t never be a good affiliate strategist if you don’t have the Traffic. :smile:

I’m fairly new to all of this (so please excuse any stupid questions), but I was wondering how soon a blogger should consider going to a conference like this? Is it beneficial when you’re just starting out with no real steady readership? Any info/advice would be appreciated, thanks.
