The Ultimate Pitching Guide at Affiliate Summit West
I will be speaking at Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas in two weeks. If you’re going to be there, please look me up. 
Last year I attended Affiliate Summit and learned a ton of about the multi-billion dollar affiliate marketing industry. Many entrepreneurs who run their businesses primarily on the Web use affiliate marketing. Likewise, merchants who are serious about selling online also use affiliate marketing — and that includes Fortune 1000 companies as well as small businesses.
The panel I’m speaking on is “The Ultimate Pitching Guide.” It’s Sunday, January 11, 2009, from 1:30 – 2:30. Here’s the description:
Experts share their best (and most outrageous) secrets for getting attention from merchants, media and the masses. You’ll learn the tips, tricks and techniques to get the attention you seek.
- Lisa Picarille, Publisher & Editor-in-Chief, Revenue Magazine (Moderator)
- Anita Campbell, Editor-in-Chief, SmallBizTrends.com
- Jim Kukral, Owner, TheBizWebCoach.com
- Peter Shankman, Founder, Help a Reporter (HARO)
I really will be sharing some closely guarded secrets, as I’m sure the others will, too. Our session is open to Gold and Platinum pass holders only. Please stop by for the discussion, and be sure to say “hi.”

Anita: Have fun in Vegas!
Will you share your sales pitch in the elevator? How many seconds do you have at your disposal?
Hi Martin, You’re funny — in an elevator. LOL
No I think I get to sit down at a table.
And it’s not really about me giving a pitch — it’s about how someone else can give their best pitch to get coverage by blogs, the media, etc. In other words, if someone wanted to pitch me, how would they go about it.

Anita: You have to tell me how the “elevator speeches” went when you are back. I look forward to hear about the summit.
Anita, it will be great to see you there and share the panel with you. I will also be sharing some super secret information from my experience as the creator of YourPitchSucks.com. Will be a great panel.
Anita: Vegas in January – great escape from Cleveland winter!
Linda…
This sounds great. I’d love to escape the Pennsylvania weather and head to Las Vegas. Have a good time.
Sounds like a great session within the ASW event! I hope its packed for you Anita and that you hear some new ideas worth sharing here! I’ve always appreciated the work that Lisa does at Revenue and while i have not seen the printed hard copy of Revenue in a long time, I studied every issue for my own work and that of clients. Will be eager to hear the news after your visit to that summit.
Sounds like an awesome topic, and a great bunch of panelists. I will have to be in the Meet Market at the time it’s held. Is it going to be recorded?
Hi Geno, I think the sessions are being recorded but don’t know for sure. Will update you when I see you at the Summit. Anita
Shawn has just made a post that answers my question:
“We are recording and live streaming the keynote from Gary Vaynerchuk and recording all of the other breakout sessions.
Video of the breakout sessions will only be made available to attendees with Gold or Platinum passes.” Source: http://blog.affiliatesummit.com/2009/01/05/filming-video-at-affiliate-summit-west-2009/
So, I’ll just have to view your session afterwords then. I’m sure it’ll be fun.
See you at the Summit!
