If you had the chance to arrive early to Vegas, a day before the summit begin, you were able to enjoy a full day event where you could learn directly from some of the affiliate industry leader how to launch an affiliate program and how to engage it effectively. Among the speakers we could find Amit Mehta, a super affiliate who spend over $10,000 per day on PPC. His experience can be read at his Blog: www.SuperAffiliateMindset.com. Todd Farmer, VP of Network Distribution for Kowabunga. He is the founder of the “original” Kowabunga back in 1996.Heather Paulson the president and the founder of Paulson Management Group Inc.

This full day event was organized very well. Even though we were a bit behind schedule the speakers gave their best. The hall was almost full with both merchant and affiliates.

It was the start of my networking effort of this week. I had the chance to meet some new faces. I meat the guys from Syntryx with whom I will meet again today at the Meet market. They have an interesting system for those who are looking for the right affiliates to their program. When you are launching an affiliate program you have to find the right affiliates who will do the work for you in the most effective way. Some will say that if you have a good product to sell along with a good affiliate product than you will not have a major difficulty to find the right affiliates. I believe that it’s a combination of the two: You have to prove that you have a good product along with the need to find the right affiliate group that can prove themselves as good converters. I haven’t try Syntryx system yet although at first look its look very impressive platform. Actually it’s the first time that we are about to launch an affiliate program for one of our product.

Today the big event is about to be opened. After weeks of talks, months of preparation is now happening
