Affiliate Thing podcast #12 is now available to stream or download. The latest show featured an interview with Jim Kukral, Publisher of ReveNews.
We chatted about Jim’s new project, Affiliate Marketing Friends, and the overall boom of creativity and friendliness that has perpetuated in the affiliate industry over the last few months.
We tried to come up with an explanation for the recent Kumbaya in affiliate marketing. Is this all due to more interaction at conferences, tools of Web 2.0, marginalization of the Chicken Little pundits, all of the above, or something else?
Whatever the reason, it’s good to see the collective industry turning on, tuning in, and dropping the attitudes for the collective good.

I had never really thought about the “darkness” of the industry until recently.
I was actually a little shocked with a conversation I had at Summit with someone I wouldn’t have expected it from. I was informed that there were no “friends” in this business and that any move that was made was made purely for the sake of “business”
I tend to disagree in my experience. I have been lucky/blessed enough to be in the affiliate business for a while and have developed a ton of wonderful friendships that have helped enormously if I ever had a need in a project I was working on. I’ve also been happy to help in other’s projects if asked and if I had something I could bring to the table.
It’s still a pretty small business number’s wise and I think that it definitely pays to “avoid the darkside” and work for common good. You never know when you may need the relationship you lost is the one that would have had mutual benefit.
