Sam Harrelson has announced that he is stepping down as Publisher of the affiliate marketing group blog, ReveNews.
I’ve been commanding the helm of this ship since last April (April Fool’s Day actually) when Wayne, Vinny and I first announced the merger of ReveNews and CostPerNews along with the new owners of ReveNews. It was no joke despite the date.
I remember that day fondly when the properties were combined under the umbrella name, PlanetBeta. I thought it was clearly a joke.
But it wasn’t by a long shot. Sam did a great job of bringing ReveNews back and making countless enhancements that he details in his goodbye post.
Not to mention his being honored as the “Best Blogger” at the recent Affiliate Summit Pinnacle Awards. Sam is a blog star of the first order.
So, why leave now?
Good question. Jim did a much better job at explaining this sort of thing than I could ever do.
In a nutshell, it feels like the right time for me to move on. This past year has been an exhausting and emotional year for me personally.
As I was reading Sam’s post, I couldn’t help hearing “Time for Me to Fly” by REO Speedwagon in my head.
I’ll miss his posts over at ReveNews and have to wonder what is in store for the site.
But I do find solace in following the new site and brand that Sam has launched… the Internet Geek Guy.

I guess it would be superfluous if I said I had no hand in creating internetgeekguy.com?
It’s on
Thanks for the kind words as well-
Sam
reply to this commentHi Sam -
You’re too modest. While you’ve certainly had a variety of influences, the creation of the Internet Geek Guy is your own genius.

reply to this commentLet’s not have this result in a dance off, Scam Harrelson.
Because the result would not be pretty (for you).
reply to this commentDon’t confuse me for Anik Singal, chief. I grew up on the mean streets of Mullins, SC and know how to bust a move unlike you yankees!
