Shoemoney - Skills To Pay The Bills

See You At Affiliate Summit West 2011

I can’t believe its already time.

I am pretty pumped.

Here are the main points of my schedule. I will skip over the dozen or so meetings I am doing.

Land saturday afternoon, get checked in at the Encore.

Saturday night there is a AVN award after party at Moon at the palms but depending on how comfortable I feel about my 2 hour presentation on Sunday I may or may not go.

Sunday I have a solo session from 11am to 1pm at the Monetization Summit (yes 2 hours).

This is a track geared for people new to the industry and Missy Ward asked me if I would talk about how I started, ways people can start generating income immediately, what results they can honestly expect and how to take it to another level. My talk is divided up into many sections focusing on various aspects of making money online.

I really enjoy doing these tracks a lot. I am in such a different place now then I was 7 years ago when I was getting started. But on the side I still get off on making small amounts (the amount really doesnt matter) in my free time dinking around with stuff in my spare time. For whatever reason I just love how you can generate income and invest nothing at all.

So really I am jealous of a lot of these “newbies”.

My journey has been an amazing experience and hopefully my talk will help people begin their journey.

But I am also going to be very realistic, from working with tens of thousands of people, about the long term success rates… or better yet the extremely high failure rates of people who attempt to make money on the internet as a full time gig.

Monday at 6pm we are launching a new product at the Affiliate Summit in the Mouton 1 room at the Wynn.

As many of you know years ago I sold a company called AuctionAds. In the sale agreement there was a non compete against me owning, operating, or investing in a advertising or affiliate network for 3 years. Those 3 years ran out last July and immediately I started on this new company.

This new product is amazing and it will change affiliate marketing as we know it. I know thats a huge statement to make but just ask any of the affiliate companies who have seen a demo…

But you will be able to AND you will get a free account for life by attending.

I guarantee you this will not be a boring product debut. We have some crazy stuff planned.

Tuesday morning we are doing the check presentation for the $5,000 we raised in our charity shirt auction. Congrats to keyword rock star on winning that!

Some Ad-hoc stuff we have:

Vinay – our winner is going to play $2,000.00 on 1 hand of black jack. Not really sure when we are going to do this. We will do our best to video tape it like last year (risking our lives and becoming criminals). Vinay said he would get a ShoeMoney logo tattoo if he won the trip… but supposedly he is already backing out of that. Will he do it? We will see!
