The Challenge

The Challenge 2011

There is a great way to get started that costs you absolutely nothing and it is called The Challenge.

The Challenge with Ed Dale

The Challenge with Ed Dale

It is a program offered by Ed Dale, Dan Raine, Robert Somerville (better known as Guru Bob) and it is designed for the beginner who is looking to build a business online.

Now there are many programs that are great and I am going to do a series of reviews of the ones I have taken and continue to use.

But The Challenge is the very first one I took back in August of 2008 ( it was called The 30 Day Challenge back then) that I found the most helpful in getting to understand this thing called Internet Marketing and Affiliate Marketing.

Early Bird Whiteboard

In the first video reviewing Affiliate Summit East, I mentioned the early bird whiteboard that I thought was a real gem for attendees to take in.

It started at 8 am on Monday and Tuesday and was a really great session critiquing web sites and offering really helpful information.

It was run by Eric Nagel, but there were other knowledgeable people in the room who were experts in their own right so that made for some very good feedback.

But there were a couple of other really good resources.

Affiliate Summit East 2011

I just spent last Saturday through Tuesday in New York City attending the Affiliate Summit East conference at the Hilton in Manhattan.

It was a great time in which I sat in on a bunch of conference presentations, all well run and well attended.

Some were more interactive than others but the presenters were all industry names with a lot to offer.  So all you had to do is show up and soak it in.

There were three full days of conferences, working the merchant and affiliate network expo areas.

I met some really interesting people and was there from 8 am until 8 pm on one day.

If you are in the business or just starting out, this is a great event to attend just to meet the best and brightest and learn a whole bunch while you are doing it.

I made a video so take a look and enjoy.

PodCamp Boston 5 Review

Boston Night Scene

I spent the week end at the Podcamp Boston 5 conference and had a great time.

Sessions covered all kinds of areas.  Ebook publishing, time management, social media best practices, and yes,  how to make podcasting a full time thing.

The sessions were great but what made the experience unique was the open nature of the event.  Sessions were not the typical closed class type of set up.

It was conference policy that you should participate and float in and out as you wished.  In other words, it was open door at all times.  And if any session didn’t do it for you, then you could set one up on your own and get people to join in.

There were learning pods in alcoves and rooms through out the facility.

That is what made the experience unique.  My only regret is that I didn’t take advantage of some of the learning groups as they sprouted up at any given time.

All in all it was a great time with a great group of people.

I have a couple of video reviews so check them out if you want to.

That’s it. Stay with it, stay well and may your travels be prosperous.

Affiliate Summit East Review Intro

I just spent one day working the exhibit floor of Affiliate Summit East.

It was my first Affiliate Summit so I was curious to see how it was all laid out.

The venue was great, the New York Hilton is top of the line so the setting was comfortable and easy to figure out.

The check in was super simple. All I did was show a picture id and my badge was on and I was off.

I ran into some folks I knew on my way in so that made things start out nice.

I heard some of the gossip that goes with the occasion and learned some pointers from some experienced affiliates.

That is the real value of these meetings.  It is what you learn in the meet ups and the bar.

Anyway, I made my way to the floor and started to talk with some of the affiliate network reps.

More on that tomorrow.

For my first impressions you can watch, or more appropriately listen to this video.
