First I went off to visit Pulse 360, they are a CPC and CPA network. I met Daphne at Affiliate Summit West and had lunch with Dan, another member of Pulse 360. We had a really good conversation about their network and how they want to expand. They definitely picked my brain about it.

It was interesting to see that they are starting a network as well, outside their CPC platform. If you have ever seen ads on MSNBC then you will see they are distributed by Pulse 360.

Another great part while I was in Sarasota, FL was the nice scenery. Eric took me out to lunch that day and I got to see some great places and beaches. One of the best part was seeing the night life… If you watch the video to the end you will see that Clickbooth got me on camera without me knowing…

…but I cleared the floor… literally… watch below

Another cool thing was Ryan was giving away 3 iPads to some lucky winners in the crowd. It wasn’t me thought… sighs… It was a good turn around to a point. The night ended really well with just hanging out with AdHustler, Cousin Vinnie, Michael P and others. The night turn out real well.

On to the pictures.

Early, today I had the opportunity to get 2 other people that relies on PPV traffic for their business. We got on a phone call and discuss the circumstances of the traffic, the good, and the bad. We just had an overall discussion about PPV traffic and its uses on the internet.

I got Cashtactics, Kris Trujillo and Stephon Rudd. These guys base their business on strictly PPV and use it to their advantages. Kris came out with the popular product Mass PPV Traffic and Stephon Rudd who also has his own product called Dark Side of PPV, are the ones on the podcast tonight.

If you do not know what CPS is, it means Cost Per Sale. Being paid on a percentage commission base. Similar to the Amazon affiliate program but higher than the 4%. What I have seen with other CPS networks, the payouts start at around 7%-10%. The only problem is the brand recognition of the merchants vs Amazon or other big online retailers.

For 2010… I want to have a continuous stream instead of running into problems like I did in the past month with CPA. I am not leaving CPA at all, it is just too easy to make money from CPA offers… this will just be a side project more so and hopefully something even bigger.

I was kinda of hesitant of participating in this event because it is in Oklahoma, what is there really to do in Oklahoma. I have been to Nebraska which is a state up. I hated being in Nebraska… so I was just thinking will it be the same in Oklahoma?

I have been in communication with Mike of NDustry Clix and he stated the March Madness event is being presented the following Saturday. Which is pretty cool since i have never been to one of their shows.

So I decided to accept their proposal and see what Oklahoma got in stores for me. Presenting with me will be Murray Newlands, he is one of the other presenters that will be presented at this meetup. So I will be at this local meetup and it will be interesting to see local affiliates in the Oklahoma area.

So what will I be doing in Oklahoma… Really not sure… I will be meeting up with some local affiliates there and I guess they will show me the ropes of what to do in Oklahoma. Since it isn’t anything like Jersey or New York, I may be bored out of my mind or have a blast.

Also, today I finished my presentation for the event and I will post it up on scribd.com once I return back form the meetup. I will also try to get it recorded if I can and post it on Youtube. It should be a good event… I was undecided on what topic to talk about, since I do not know the skill level of the attendees attending.

The one thing though is Oklahoma steaks better be good! Its a cow state isn’t it?

Are you attending? Register if you are in the Oklahoma area or want some insight in the affiliate industry. Plus I don’t think I have ever met an affiliate from Oklahoma.

On a side note lots of free stuff… food beer prizes … now who doesn’t like free?

Affiliate marketers in my opinion are one of the better breed of marketers because we are always interested about more volume and conversions. While most of the internet marketers out there are about JVing with big guys and gathering affiliates. Notice gathering affiliates, because we know where to find traffic.

It really brought perspective to what I am doing because I can relate to it all and if you read the post all the young affiliates can also relate to it as well. I definitely want to grow and expand my business. I personally have been getting bombarded this month by multiple affiliate networks, JV requests, and bookkeeping. I even think a network signed me up without me knowing because I started getting emails from the network.

So what have I been doing in the past week?

Below is the video we did at the new building. It took months to prep up for this part and a lot of acting practice. But I think I held it down and I did my thing. I am hoping to appear at the Grammy’s next year for “Best Affiliate Actor”.

Enjoy.

How do I know this? Simple they specifically told me, or gave me a warning. When I started logging into networks to check out the offer lps. While some brought me to the offer one in particular brought me to an Untrusted license.

This error brought a curious attention to me as it was my first time seeing it from an affiliate offer. Below, is a FireFox window stating the website is untrusted. This tells me it might be a license issue, I viewed the license and then I can be on my way to see the offer LP.
