Affiliate Summit West Overview
Finally back in the home office again after 13.5 hours of travel from the Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas and a desperately needed good night’s sleep.
Affiliate Summit has grown considerably in size and scope, boasting 2,000 attendees, 83 exhibitors, 26 classroom sessions and rotating roundtables, as well as fun events such as oneNetworkDirect and Wynn Las Vegas party that was held at the TRYST nightclub at the Wynn.
During the party, the Pinnacle Awards Show took place and six awards were presented to outstanding affiliate marketers. The winners were:
- Affiliate of the Year: Scott Hazard
- Affiliate Manager of the Year: Angel Djambazov
- Exceptional Merchant: Amazon.com
- Affiliate Marketing Advocate Award: Brian Littleton of ShareaSale (should gotten a best network award too!)
- Best Blogger: Jim Kukral
- Wayne Porter Affiliate Marketing Legend: Todd Crawford
In addition to points picked up at classroom sessions, outside networking is the point of the Summit for many. Included below is a pic of one such session that happened on Tuesday afternoon. From left to right: Michael Sperber (T3Report), Raja (HyperMedia), Rosalind Gardner (Super Affiliate Handbook), Matt Frary (ROI Rocket), Colin McDougall (VEOReport) and Michael Stark (Post Your Property).
Affiliate Summit 2007 East will be at the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami from July 8th through the 10th.
P.S. I’ll be posting some of my better takeaways from the Affiliate Summit over the next couple of days.
P.P.S. My apologies if you posted a Shout Out! for me and I didn’t get back to you. I’ll be doing follow-up calls today and tomorrow.

21 Reasons to Go to the Underground Seminar
In case you’ve haven’t registered Yanik Silver’s Underground Online Seminar III - time is running out for what is the BEST internet marketing seminar you will ever attend!
You’ve got until December 31st when the clock strikes midnight to grab all your Early-Bird discounts and freebies reserved for you.
And I especially need to warn you that your seat at the “VIP” Networking Dinner on the first night of the Underground Online Seminar is going to go to someone else.
Even though this event is months away - you need to move on this fast because last year Yanik sold out 6 1/2 weeks early while other seminars are still trying to sell tickets up until the very day of their event.
Now in case you’re not really sure about this event, here are Yanik’s 21 reasons you need to attend the Underground Seminar…
-
Reason #1: Not the same “usual suspects” who speak at almost every seminar. I’ve brought together an elusive group of real-world “doers” to present what they’re doing online.
-
Reason #2: No one making the bulk of their income from the “Internet World” or selling “How to Make Money”. (That means they can’t be a ’shovel seller’.)
-
Reason #3: The speakers combined bring in over $30M+ online selling everything from eBooks, real physical products, information products, advertising, membership sites & more.
-
Reason #4: Networking opportunity not to be missed -guests, attendees, speakers and Internet “celebrity” experts will all be there to do business together.
-
Reason #5: The speakers will all be giving up their juiciest secrets and best info because they are competing for the title of “Top Underground Marketer” and a $10,000 prize for their favorite charity.
(They sure don’t need the money.) -
Reason #6: Take a tax-deductible vacation to Washington, DC (talk to your tax professional first).
-
Reason #7: Spend a couple extra days and bring the family to Washington, DC. The Nation’s capital is a must-see destination for anyone. From the sprawling monuments, to the famous sites to the historical landmarks to the trendy streets of Georgetown - you will find more than enough to keep you occupied.
-
Reason #8: New information straight from the trenches on AdSense, membership sites, content sites, niche marketing, information marketing, search engine optimization, eBay, blogging, joint ventures, selling real products & services, list building, MySpace, PR and more…
-
Reason #9: Easy 4-pay payment plan makes your investment easy on the wallet.
Heard enough? Check it out
-
Reason #10: New information from me that I’ve never, ever shared before, including my newest Underground affiliate tactics & secrets. (Remember, I’ve grown my affiliate network to 44,524 from scratch in only a few year. But 2007 is different and the old game plan doesn’t work as well.) Definitely not the same stuff you’ve heard.
Plus, I’m going to cover my Instant profit boost any website or business can use the minute you walk out of the event. I’m talking about the most overlooked ways to immediately increase your website sales. Stuff that’s so simple (yet extremely profitable) you’ll be slapping your forehead wondering why you never did this before.
-
Reason #11: $500 off ‘Early-Bird’ ticket price. After December 31, 2006 (or after the final 8 seats are sold) this will raise. This is the lowest price going!
-
Reason #12: Confidential information to be shared.
Several of the presenters have already warned me that they will need to turn off the cameras and the microphones so they can reveal ‘off-the-record’ information they don’t want to be recorded. Yes that does mean I will be taping this event but I definitely do NOT have plans on releasing it to the general public in its entirety.
So if you plan on waiting for the tapes - realize I may make parts of it heavily edited and censored tapes available later on. That means the only way to get full disclosure is to get here in person! Also, a strict Non- disclosure policy will be in effect.
-
Reason #13: ** Only for Early-Bird Sign-ups**
You’ll be joining my guest presenters, experts and Internet buddies for a “VIP” networking dinner.
When you sign up before the early-bird deadline you’ll receive a special red VIP ticket and confidential password. You must have both in order to gain admittance into a private, closed-door dinner and stand-up SPY comedy show. I’m holding on the first night of the Underground seminar.
You’ll be joining my guest presenters, experts and Internet buddies for this exclusive gathering. Plus, nationally- recognized stand-up comic, Bob Marley.
Bob has appeared on Letterman, Leno, Conan O’Brien, Comedy Central, VH-1, headlined Harrah’s in Las Vegas and much more! His career spans 15 years of making people laugh all over the world. This guy is a total riot he’ll be performing his sold-out stand up act LIVE this first night.
I’m remaining tight-lipped about it - but I guarantee it’ll be the most FUN (and profitable) night you’ve had in a long, long, long time.
This is THE ideal time and place to cut JV deals, build relationships, and get to do high-level networking most people never have access to.
Here’s what one attendee from last year reported back about just this dinner:
“One connection I made during the murder mystery dinner at Underground II has resulted in over $1.3 million of sales so far this year” - Eric Holmlund, Ft. Collins, CO
-
Reason #14: ** Only for Early-Bird Sign-ups**
Set of Two Confidential Recordings
Recording Set #1: You Get the ‘Instant Traffic Stampede’ Audios
Recording Set #2: Dan Kennedy Platinum Closed Door Meeting Audios
-
Reason #15: ** Only for Early-Bird Sign-ups**
After the event is over you won’t be alone or left wondering what to do next!
You see, I’m going to get on the phone with you for a series of 4 follow-up teleconference calls. On each call we’re going to take the most exciting and profitable “Underground” ideas and strategies discussed at the event and expand on them. We’ll brainstorm together and come up with even more moneymaking ways for you to use and implement the breakthrough information you’re privy to. Plus, I will get several of the presenters and guest experts on the phones to be available for further questions and insights for you.
-
Reason #16: ** Only for Early-Bird Sign-ups**
“CORE” Fundamental Day on DVD Last year, we had many more dedicated Internet beginners attend than I expected (probably about 15% of the audience). That’s why I held a special 1-day “CORE” Internet Marketing day, covering the core principles of effective online marketing.
This CORE day covering all the fundamental A-to-Z systems of generating traffic and converting traffic. We filmed the entire day and put it on 5 DVDs. You’ll see me and my top- notch colleagues like Perry Marshall, Bill Glazer, Jim Edwards and several others covering key topics like Google AdWords, Online Copywriting, Using Multi-Media, Email marketing, Testing and Tracking online and more.
Now ‘newbies’ and beginners can quickly catch up to speed and be better adjusted for the breakthrough ideas they’ll hear during Underground III.
But this information isn’t just for newbies and beginners - there are many intermediate and even advanced Internet marketers who would benefit from this “check-up” on their foundations. Previous attendees paid an additional $397 for this CORE day but it’s yours as another bonus.
-
Reason #17: Networking opportunity not to be missed
My buddies (who also happen to be world-class Internet and direct marketing experts) have been clamoring to attend.
I don’t know who will show up this year but previous high- profile attendees were Dan Kennedy, Jonathan Mizel, Jim Edwards, Marlon Sanders, “The Rich Jerk”, Jeff Johnson, Jeff Walker, Stephen Pierce, Bill Glazer, Perry Marshall, Rosalind Gardner, Joel Comm, Willie Crawford, Mike Filsaime, Russell Brunson, Michel Fortin, Michael Holland, Phil Wiley, Kevin Wilke, Mike Long, Andrew Fox, and many others who came to learn and not to B.S. in the hallways.
In addition to that, there’s the previous “Rogue Agents”. Many of these guys and gals have told me in no uncertain terms they absolutely want back in to learn from the new presenters, network and be part of the action. (Who knows - I may even ambush them and put some of them work or give them the microphone and put them on the spot.)
-
Reason #18: Come meet celebrity guest, Peter Graves, from the “Mission Impossible” TV show.
Peter will continue to be known as the unflappable, Jim Phelps, head of the “Mission Impossible” force for six of the seven years the original series ran on CBS. When you sign up immediately you’ll get the chance to have a one-on- one photo with you and Mr. Graves.
Only the early sign-ups are guaranteed a private one-one- one photo. This is just one more reason to make sure you get in before the final seats are gone in a poof of smoke like the tape on each episode of “Mission Impossible”!
-
Reason #19: Real Results
The success stories from last years attendees continue to pour in…
“…Your conference is one of the first I’ve been too and I was a bit hesitant when I signed up. Well, I’m glad I did because in less than 2 weeks after getting back from it, I tripled my investment solely thanks to your Underground seminar (about $7,000 in profits)!” - Anik Signal, Gaithersburg, MD
…Six ideas, in particular, that we got from the speakers fit into our business model perfectly and will allow us to reach our $1M goal in 2006.” - Dave and Heidi Perry, Pleasant Grove, UT
“…$7500 in 30 hours on the Net using just one of the ideas from the seminar. I am by no means a big time Internet marketer. You don’t have to be to use what Yanik teaches. Just do what he says and you will make money…by the way I also started a forced continuity program that has 381 members at $30 a month. [adds up to an extra $137,160.00 per year.]” - Paul Reddick, New Providence, NJ
“…I outlined a way for my client to pick up an extra $5,000 minimum this month, based on what I heard at your seminar (and, that’s a minimum.)” - Barbara Keddy, Great Falls, VA
“…Actually I’ll be disappointed if I “only” [bring in] $150,000. I expect to make much more. And if I don’t, it will be my fault, not yours. I came away with 3 pages of BIG IDEAS. Even if you sent me home on 2 pm on Day 1, I would have still felt like I got many times my money’s worth.” - Paul Partridge, Westfield, NJ
“…The Underground event was hands-down THE best event I have ever invested in. The information was so fresh and valuable I know it will grow my business at least 5 times over the next year. My goal is to be averaging $50,000 a month with my little niche market energy healing products and membership site and live events by next years event.” - Carol Tuttle, Sandy, UT
“…I personally brought in over $200k (in just under two weeks) from only two joint ventures that I made at your seminar for my new software product. Awesome! And I know I’ve got over a $500k worth of ideas in my notes from listening to your ‘underground’ speakers… I’ll achieve my goal this year of over $1 million in combined online sales this year for the first time - Looking forward to your next seminar.” - Brett Fogle, Boca Raton, FL
“When I attended your seminar I did not know anything about Internet marketing…After I attended your seminar and when you presented your stuff on selling high priced products I had a very strong feeling that I could do something similar in my site…Just to let you know I grossed 70k in the last 45 days…Once again thanks Yanik, and if there is anything I can do for you let me know. I owe you a lot simply because your seminar gave me the option to exercise freedom.” - A. “Vish” Vishwanath, Mumbai, India
These results are from every level of Internet experience from total newbies to experienced veterans.
-
Reason #20: Big, bold brassy guarantee…
At the end of the first day if you don’t believe what you’ve discovered is pure moneymaking gold or you decide not to stay for the whole event or you are disappointed in anyway, for whatever reason, just discretely turn in your Secret Agent gadgets and your materials to one of our staff members. Say the code word “Au Revoir” and you can exit with a full refund of your tuition. Plus I’ll give you $250 for your first night’s hotel and expenses.
-
Reason #21: It’ll be FUN! As you can tell from the site - this isn’t the typical seminar. There will be lots of fun, surprises and cool stuff going on.
There you have it. Trust me, it would be a huge mistake to miss out on this one-time event.
Don’t wait to sign-up for this event because nearly all the “Early-Bird” seats are already gone. They may even have to close the early-bird discount prior to December 31, 2006 because there is a limit to the number of people Yanik can fit in the room for the VIP Networking dinner.
Don’t miss your chance to hear from the most elusive and secretive group of ‘Underground’ Internet achievers (and also mingle and network with them).
I suggest you get over to the site right away. Don’t dally or all the seats will be gone and you’ll be left sitting on the sidelines.
Cheers,
P.S. Listen, if you’re serious about your Internet business - there’s no excuse for missing these 3 jam-packed days. Do it now and secure your place for the maximum discounts and the exclusive Early-Bird Bonuses!

Affiliate Jam Session and Sing-a-Long
The most fun I had at the last Affiliate Summit was at the Sing-a-Long with ShareASale’s Brian Littleton. Lisa Picarille (Revenue Magazine) suggested that it become a regular part of Summit, and that’s exactly what they’re going to do - with a charitable twist.
At Affiliate Summit 2007 West in Vegas, ShareASale is sponsoring the Affiliate Jam Session and Sing-a-Long. All proceeds will go to Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Southern Nevada.
Here’s a video from the last Affiliate Summit 2006 East Jam Session… and Yes, I’m in there… singing VERY badly.
PRESS RELEASE - Berkeley Heights, NJ (PRWEB) December 8, 2006 — The Affiliate Jam Session and Sing-a-Long, sponsored by Shareasale, will be a live music karaoke and networking party for attendees of Affiliate Summit 2007 West.
There are a number of auctions on eBay where companies can bid to have host Brian Littleton, President/CEO of ShareASale, wear shirts, hats and pins with company logos during the Affiliate Jam Session and Sing-a-Long.
There are lots of other ways to donate and participate. More info at AffiliateMarketersCare.com.

“Underground” III is open…
If you search through the Training section here on the NPT blog, you’ll discover that I’ve talked a LOT about Yanik Silver’s Underground Seminars. That’s because they are simply the best of the best amongst the plethora of IM seminars from which you have to choose. Why?
That’s because Yanik doesn’t feature the same old speakers time and again. (What a Yawn!) Nope, with each Underground he brings in fresh faces … those with fabulous stories Internet business success. Also of interest is that most of the speakers from previous Undergrounds attend subsequent Underground seminars… which says a great deal about the quality of Yanik’s seminar.
Anyway, Yanik has just announced that “Underground” III will be held in March 2007 in an undisclosed location in the “spy capital” of Washington, DC. Although March of next year might seem too far away to even think about, there are *3* reasons to pay attention now:
Reason #1: There are less than 67 ‘Early-Bird’ spots open for the lowest discounts, bonuses and surprises (including a private VIP networking and stand-up comedy dinner). Yanik is mailing to his own 100,000+ mailing list and other selected partners are promoting this so the race is on.
Reason #2: Like I mentioned, last year this unique event sold-out 6 1/2 weeks early. And from the buzz, build-up and new success stories - I have reason to believe this year may sell out even quicker.
Reason #3: To go along with his theme, Yanik’s is bringing in a special celebrity guest. You can meet and get your picture taken with Peter Graves, the star of the “Mission Impossible” TV show.
Reason #4 Special BONUS - Register through the link below, send me your receipt and you’ll receive a bonus one-hour teleconsultation with me (value $299.00) to take place after you have attended the seminar.
Here’s a list of code names of those speaking at the upcoming event (you’ll find out who they really are when you visit the site.:
- Agent From China With Love…
- Double Agent Profiteer…
- Agent Big Money Motherfarker…
- Agent Mr. MySpace Moneypenny…
- Agent AdSense Czarina…
- Agent Gold Blogger…
- Agent Search Engine Safecracker…
- Agent Extra Healthy Profits…
- Agent Undercover Affiliate…
- The Man with the eBay Touch…
- Agent Community Commando…
- Agent Pearly Profits…
- Agent Dastardly Niche Dominator…
Collectively and conservatively these “mystery” men and women bring in over $58M in revenue online per year. If you could pick up just a fraction of a fraction of this knowledge - what would that be worth to you?
