Coffee Talk with Shawn Collins, Co-Founder of Affiliate Summit
In his quest to bring better understanding to the affiliate marketing industry, James Martell, successful affiliate marketer and President of Net Guides Publishing, Inc., has Coffee Talk with the co-founder of the Affiliate Summit, Shawn Collins.
Since Shawn “wrote the book” on affiliate marketing for merchants entitled “Successful Affiliate Marketing for Merchants”, Shawn has all of the answers to the probes that James throws at him. Also because James has been to most of the Affiliate Summits since 2000, he covers the conferences from the first cruise with a little over 200 people to the next conference where over 4,000 are expected.
James and Shawn chat about:
- His first job in magazine publishing
- Coding his first website on AOL using just HTML in 1997
- The first affiliate marketing link – Amazon.com
Other topics covered in this informative “chat” are:
- James having his first email address in 1998 and not knowing anyone to email.
- Shawn having 15-20 cent clicks and the way it grew
- Funny things that happened during the first Summits
Beings that the next Summit is in January back in Las Vegas, you might just want to know who will be speaking and more details on how you can get a free pass, how to register and what’s going to be happening at the Meet Market.
One of the most popular workshops will be:
- A live site clinic, where if you are thick skinned enough, you can throw your website up there to be critiqued and fixed right on the spot.
One of the speakers will be Wil Reynolds one of the top SEO guys on the Internet. He is always so well received that he just keeps coming back to share the cutting edge SEO information.
If you want to hear James’ theories on the direct correlation between affiliates that attend the events, compared to those that do not in their success levels, listen to this Coffee Talk, you’ll be glad you did!

Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you!
Hi Felipe,
I would suggest going with WordPress. It is by far the most popular. I know hundreds of people who use WordPress and best of all it’s free.
I do offer a WordPress installation service if you are looking to have someone else take care of the set-up for you. We can usually get you set-up in 2-3 business days.
If you have any questions, let me know. If you are looking to monetize the blog you should check out my bootcamp.
Thanks for stopping by.
James
