This reprinted from the RMIUG.org site: ==================================== Just a quick reminder. Sherpa, into a $6.5 Billion industry. Thousands of people, known as affiliates, literally earn their livings (or, as in yours truly, some extra coffee money), selling other people's stuff online. Stuff that they never have to touch, ship, or handle in anyway. Nice way to make money, no? At our next meeting, we will explore Affiliate Marketing industry, learn how it is structured, what the future holds for it, and get insight from someone who earns his living as an affiliate. We are pleased to welcome the following speakers Bob Dunlap, director of marketing for ClickBank, one of the world's largest online retailer for buyers and sellers of digitally delivered products and services, has a long and successful career in the area of planning, developing, launching, and marketing high tech products for global markets. He came to ClickBank nearly two years ago and since that time has worked closely with the company's nearly 11,000 product vendors and 100,000 active affiliates. Bob will be addressing the functionality of online networks and what the future holds for those engaged with affiliate marketing. Dan Murray ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) is Internet Marketing Strategist at Ravenwood Marketing, a performance-based search engine marketing firm in Boulder, and has spent the last five years as an affiliate. He will be speaking from the affiliate perspective, discussing various affiliate business models, networks and how affiliate marketing works. Dan will also cover some economic realities of the field as well as "a day in the life of an affiliate" and some additional resources for affiliates.

The meeting will be held at The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) at 1850 Table Mesa Drive in Boulder. To get to NCAR from the Boulder Turnpike (US 36) or Broadway (US 93), take Table Mesa Drive west towards the mountains for approximately 2.5 miles into the foothills. NCAR is at the top of the hill. For door-to-door driving directions, go to MapQuest (http://www.mapquest.com/), click on Driving Directions, enter your starting address, NCAR's address, and voila! Park in the NCAR lot, go in the main door, and ask the guard to point you to meeting, which is held in the main auditorium, right off the lobby. The meeting is free and open to the public, but we may pass the hat to help defray expenses. Our meeting location seats about 120 people. That is usually enough room to accommodate all attendees, but it's impossible for us to predict how many people will show up for any given meeting. Seating is always on a first-come, first serve basis, and in the event of more attendees than seats, we won't be able to admit additional people into the auditorium after all seats are filled. =============================== I plan to be there, and I would think any affiliate marketer in Colorado would be interested as well. I've been a member of the RMIUG for awhile, but this is the first presentation I've seen on affiliate marketing. It's a nice combination since we have a guy from one of the major affiliate marketing providers as well as a user (I assume super user) of affiliate programs and can give us more insight into how to do this whole thing. I have a feeling this event will be well attended, so I plan on getting there early. If anyone wants to join me, please let me know. |
