I just had a call with my Affiliate Summit co-founder Missy Ward about our affiliate marketing and personal resolutions for 2008, and I thought I’d share it.
Both of us came up with three new year’s resolutions.
Missy
- Quit smoking and stop hording conference giveaways.
- Meet at least 20 new people at each conference and learn more SEO at the conferences.
- Go greener at home and with Affiliate Summit.
Shawn
- Lose a total of 21 pounds by Affiliate Summit by Affiliate Fatblogging.
- Focus on affiliate projects more, since I am no longer an affiliate manager for the first time since 1997.
- Start up a series of one-day niche Affiliate Summit events.
On January 1, 2007, I made a bunch of resolutions for 2007. I’m glad to say that I was true to my resolutions for the most part.
I wanted to expand Affiliate Summit, and that happened with three shows in 2007 (Las Vegas, London, and Miami).
I also planned to get more into video, and I churned out hundreds of videos this year, while learning new tips and tricks, and sharing that information at a new blog, makevideo.info. Check the earlier posts for information on getting into Internet video.
Additionally, I vowed to update my book, Successful Affiliate Marketing for Merchants, which I did in video form.
Lastly, I resolved to keep a regular schedule with the Affiliate Thing show, and I co-hosted it weekly with Lisa Picarille, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Revenue magazine, throughout the year.
Two that I didn’t come through on were helping with an affiliate marketing trade group and hosting an industry BBQ.
Oh well, on to 2008.
