It’s about 47 days to Shawn Collins and Missy Ward’s Affiliate Summit West<\/a> in Vegas, and if you’re headed there, drop a note in the comments and I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for you.<\/p>\n

I added a note to my Facebook profile<\/a> to add a countdown alert (via the Top Countdowns application).<\/p>\n

So some of the choices available:<\/p>\n

\"affiliate<\/p>\n

I picked the 2nd from the bottom cos it looked kinda “slot machine-ish”. [You’d have to pay a hefty<\/em> sum to see the cupcakes on my profile……….]<\/p>\n

After I added it, I was thinking about unconventional uses, specifically guerilla tactics for Facebook applications for affiliate marketers…<\/p>\n

If we get a chance to talk at Affiliate Summit West<\/a> next month in Vegas, you’ll discover that I do niche and product research very differently from other affiliates – whether SEO, blackhat or PPC affiliates.<\/p>\n

I believe a lot of it has to do with my background in journalism…<\/p>\n

During the dotcom era in early 2000, the startups which were on the verge of crashing-and-burning didn’t have much incentive to give you an exclusive interview, or give out any clues as to what was happening.<\/p>\n

So I’ve developed an intuitive demographic\/psychographic behavioral-based system to my research process and marketing campaigns…<\/p>\n

So looking at the Facebook Top Countdowns application, think about it for a moment, what events are people likely to bookmark? Important ones? Significant events?<\/p>\n

\"facebook<\/p>\n

Think people will be motivated to pull a “sickie” to be able to catch a major sports event (the Olympics, the Super Bowl, World Cup Soccer), launch of a new book or movie (like the Harry Potter novel or movie, or Star Wars), or new product (like the next Nintendo WII or incarnation of the Apple iPhone or iPod)?<\/p>\n

If anything, events like Valentine’s Day, the start of the new season of popular TV shows like Prison Break, Lost and American Idol Season 7 have all been flagged for you.<\/p>\n

Smart affiliate marketers merely need to match these events with an appropriate affiliate or CPA offer and count the sales come in.<\/p>\n

Failing which, you could always celebrate Chuck Norris’ birthday on March 10th…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
