PubCon 2007

I’ve been thinking about registering for PubCon 2007 in Vegas this year. $699 for early registration (till Oct 15). Have any of you attended past PubCons? Is it worth the dough to go?

I personally want to go to actually talk to people that are interested in what I’m interested in doing. Maybe share some ideas.. and see if I’m doing some idiotic things or any ideas to get on the right path to success. Plus, I’d like to meet some Shoe, Chow, etc, which I understand will be there. I don’t think any of them are speaking, but I’d love to shake their hands and say you’ve been an inspiration.

If any of you have ever attended or planning on going, please comment. I’d love to hear your ideas. Continue reading →

Here is a simple break down, and it’s not about the product or angle, but about your own personal skill set with programming and what your goals are with a eBay store front.

The affiliate market game

This year was my first serious attempt at affiliate marketing. In January, I told myself that I would spend 2007 and test. That was my goal. Not to retire, not to succeed, not to make thousands of dollars, but to test and understand strategies. I know individuals like Darren from ProBlogger and Jeremy from Shoemoney will often get asked “what’s the secret”, and they’re answers are always the same – ‘test ideas’, ‘work hard’ and ‘just do it’. I can’t imagine how annoying that must be to say on a daily basis, but the words are extremely wise.

Taking these into account, I wanted to test what works for me and what doesn’t. I wanted to have at least three different directions for revenue. Not three different web sites, but three different strategies. The three initial strategies are as follows:

1. Commission Junction (store fronts)
2. Paid subscription banners
