Like Me on Facebook and Get 10% off Affiliate…

by Missy Ward

A few months back, I finally started using my Facebook Page that I had created a while ago, but never did anything with.

Muddling through the numerous Apps that have come out making it easier to customize pages and add information that I wanted to disseminate, I've found that I've had a nice surge of traffic to my Facebook page and a lot more interaction that I ever expected.

While I'm far from finished customizing my page, I'm excited to introduce a little “perk” to the 4,000+ folks that have stuck with me during this time and to the new folks who also decide to do the same.

For a limited time, folks can receive a 10% discount off of any attendee registration type for Affiliate Summit East 2011, taking place in NYC on August 21-23 by liking my Facebook page.

Once you have “Liked” the page, click on “Exclusive Offer for Fans of Missy Ward”, located in the left side bar of the page and you'll receive the discout code to use to book your passes to Affiliate Summit East 2011.

Are you using any Facebook Apps that I should know about?

Do Good. Feel Good.

Team @AMGB to be Honored During the Avon Rocky…

by Missy Ward

I just got word that Team Affiliate Marketers Give Back will be honored during the opening ceremonies taking place during the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, Rocky Montains Walk.

We will be recognized for being the top fundraising team for this Avon Walk along with having the single largest fundraiser, Captain Missy Ward. (View all top fundraisers here.)

This year's team will be walking 39 miles on June 25-26 through the scenic mountains and trails of Summit County, Colorado.

While we're all excited for the fresh air and beautiful views, we are extremely nervous about the high altitudes and potential for most of us to get altitude sickness due to the reduced air pressure and lower oxygen levels at this high altitude.

As of today, our team has raised $65,736.00 and we're still going strong, but some of our team members could really use some help with hitting their minimum fundraising requirements.

You see, when we all sign up to walk, we make a commitment to Avon that we will each raise a minimum of $1,800 each, in order to participate in the actual event. A few of our teammates are still under goal and may not be able to walk with us. So, if you can help them out, please consider making a donation to any of the walkers on this page that have not reached their $1,800 minimum.

Thanks again to all of the supporters of our team. We can't wait to provide you with pictures of this year's journey!
