by Missy Ward

AffStat Logo If you're into examining affiliate marketing statistics and trends like I am, you're going to love the 2009 Affiliate Summit Affstat Report available for free on Monday, June 15th.

While the report might not be as wildly anticipated as the launch of Facebook User Names this coming Saturday, if you're in the affiliate marketing industry (whether it be as an affiliate, merchant, network, OPM, consultant or service provider), you're going to want to get your hands on the 2009 Affiliate Summit Affstat Report!

Over four-hundred and fifty affiliates were surveyed on their methods, preferences, and strategies and the report features dozens of pages of data results, based on the responses from the participating affiliates.
.
Also included, is an unabridged and raw view into the opinions of affiliates on a variety of other subjects including complaints, ideas, suggestions or opinions they have regarding affiliate marketing.

Plus, some great resources for affiliate marketers: a glossary to explain industry terms, as well as lists of suggested message boards, blogs, and Twitter accounts that you should know about.

The 2009 Affiliate Summit AffStat Report marks the 7th annual edition. Shawn Collins gives a look back at AffStat's origins here.

So while you're adding a calendar event to grab your Facebook name on Saturday, remember to add one for Monday, June 16th, (or use the handy dandy Google Calendar button below) to be one of the first people to download your copy of the 2009 Affiliate Summit AffStat Report for free at http://affstat.com/.

My Interview on IncomeDiary.com

by Missy Ward

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Michael Dunlop for his blog, IncomeDiary.com.

Michael is an online marketer who launched his first profitable website at 16 years old. Now, at a “ripe old age of 20”, he makes a full-time living online.

Michael reminds me a lot of Zac Johnson, who was 17, when I first met him back in 2001. Both are savvy internet marketers who have a very bright future ahead of them.

Where To Get Custom Twitter Backgrounds

by Missy Ward

Gena from WinAHouseCompetitions.com submitted the following question to AskMissyWard.com:

“I like the way your twitter page has your photo and info down the left hand side of the page! Where did you get your twitter template, it's cool!”

Hey Gena,

I actually designed the background myself on Twitter.com/MissyWard, but there are a number of companies out there that have done backgrounds for friends of mine:

Auggie4000.com – Auggie charges $20.00 per background. You can see samples of his work and purchase online here. After you've completed your purchase, you'll receive a form via email to complete, letting Auggie know what you want. (I've used Auggie's services for a number of banner creatives and he does a great and fast job).

TwitterWallpaper.com – My friend Julie recommends them. Looks like they charge $75.00 for a custom Twitter background.

TwitterImage.com is another company that provides custom Twitter backgrounds. I haven't used them, but they've done a number of high-profile Twitter users. They charge $100 per background.
