Nerdy Affiliate Adventures In Affiliate Marketing Land

Networking Is The Key To Success!

Posted by JasperP on February 16th, 2009

A few days ago, Bryn posted a very important topic on his blog titled: “Networking Is The Most Important Thing In Affiliate Marketing.”  I really believe this is critical to your success and will keep you motivated to keep working on your business.  

Some people have asked me if I did consulting and were willing to pay me for it.   I told them “fuck that.. let’s just share tips and experiences!”  I don’t mind helping people out because I can also learn from them as well. 

Anyway, just wanted to post my top places to network with other affiliate marketers:

1.    
   Instant Messaging – I use this regularly and it’s easy to just get in contact with someone and discuss different topics of marketing.  Contact me at JasperP81 on AIM.
2. 
   Meetup202 - The meetup202 groups created by Wes and Steven of Prosper202 are GREAT for networking with other affiliate marketers.  I’ve met tons of people through my local Los Angeles meetup.  Check out if there are Meetup202 events in your area: meetup202.com.
3. 
   Affiliate Summit - Affiliate Summit West and Affiliate Summit East events are a MUST for affiliate marketers.  You get to connect with other marketers on a more personal level. Plus it’s great fun partying and just chillin’.  Mark your calendars: Affiliate Summit East is on Aug 9-11 @ New York City.  Check it out: affiliatesummit.com.
4. 
   Twitter - Twitter is another networking tool that can be used to get in contact with other marketers.  Dubbed as “mini-blogging”, you can reply back and forth with people about topics that they post or “tweet”.  Follow me at twitter.com/JasperP.
5. 
   Blogs - Subscribing to blogs are another way to get in contact with other marketers.  I personally use Google Reader to consolidate all the blogs that I follow.  I use this to keep an eye on the latest news in the Affiliate Marketing Industry.  Currently, I subscribe to about 100 blogs.  Check out Google Reader. It’s free! Then subscribe to this blog by clicking on my RSS link.
6. 
   Social Networking - Facebook and LinkedIn are popular spots to get in touch with other marketers.  I just started to expand my social network so hit me up on Facebook and LinkedIn.  
    
7. Forums - I used to be a bit more active on forums before, however, nowadays I’m not as active as I could be, but there are quite a few affiliate marketing forums out there such as WickedFire, Prosper202, PPC-Coach, Convert2Media, Cash Tactics, Xtreme Profits, etc.  If I’m on there, my username is usually “JasperP”.
