For those not attending Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas Sunday through Tuesday, feel free to skip this piece. Unless you want to know what you’re missing…which is a lot. This year’s West show is the largest Affiliate Summit to date with over 3,000 registered attendees.

Affiliate marketing is a segment of marketing that doesn’t get much mainstream advertising press. Why? Because it doesn’t consist of sexy, :30 spots made by primadonna ad agencies which are concerned, mostly with winning awards. Affiliate marketers, on the other hand, care mainly about one thing; making money.

Two great articles on the conference are here and here. They tell you what to expect, what to bring, what to wear, how to stay in touch so you know what’s going on every second of the show and a whole lot more.

You can read what we’ve written on the conference here, here and here.

And if you want to get an idea what a typical conference is like, check out our coverage of Affiliate Summit East here.

Psychology says people who can’t stick to habits aren’t lazy or undisciplined — they’re trying to force routines onto a nervous system that was never taught to regulate itself, and every failed attempt reinforces a story about themselves that started in childhood

I moved to a small village in Tuscany after my retirement and spent the first three months thinking I was on vacation, until I realized I was actually grieving a life I never had the courage to live

I stopped sharing good news with my oldest friend because every time something went well for me, she’d go quiet for two weeks. I finally understood that her love for me had a ceiling, and it was set exactly at her own level of happiness.
