I’m Heading to Commission Junction University 2011

by Missy Ward

Commission Junction University 2011 (CJU) is taking place September 20-22, 2011 at the Fess Parker's DoubleTree Resort.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Keynote speaker, Dr. Jeffrey F. Rayport, Ph.D. — the man who coined the term “viral marketing”. There are also a bunch of sessions that I'm going to be hitting up, including panels on Internet Tax, Mobile and PayPerCall.

Two of my favorite aspects of this event are the networking opportunities and of course, finding out the winners of the CJYou Awards.

Affiliate Marketing Shatters Glass Ceilings

by Missy Ward

Over the last year, I’ve had the opportunity to expand my business to include working with a Fortune 500 Company, an outspoken celebrity and numerous bloggers and speakers. affiliate marketing shatters glass ceilings I’ve had the chance to work on new things that were outside of my comfort zone, from creating my first wine, to coding a new website to keynoting a conference – and yes, I’ve had a ball doing it.

But, you know what? I never once felt lucky because these great opportunities fell on my lap.

Because luck had nothing to do with it.

In fact, the only good fortune that I was blessed with was my classic overachiever personality, tenacity and the fact that I have such a hard time acknowledging that I might just possibly have limitations.

Don’t get me wrong, there have been disappointments along the way. No one is impervious to defeat. But at no point during any of the last 25+ years of my career have I ever felt that I was held back because I was a woman, nor do I feel like I’ve been rewarded for it either.

buy.at hosted their “Give Back” event during Affiliate Summit East 2011.

Supported by their wonderful sponsors (Girly Checks and TicketSizzle) they hosted an engaging event at The Kimberly hotel and raised $1,825.00 for Affiliate Marketers Give Back‘s Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

Guests enjoyed a stunning view of Midtown Manhattan from the 30^th floor while snacking on delicious hors d’oeuvres and choosing from a selection of cocktails including the Girly Checks “Blank Check” martini.

Guests were challenged to “Think Pink” and wear any pink item to the event (clothing/accessories). In return, a $2 donation was made each by buy.at, Girly Checks and TicketSizzle to Affiliate Marketers Give Back. We are pleased to announce that 172 attendees wore pink resulting in a $1,032 donation.

In addition, the event included a silent auction featuring prizes donated by TicketSizzle, Girly Checks, Lindsay Phillips, VIP Live Drive and Team Loxly/PartyBeans. I also donated a bottle of my Signorina Wine. In total, the auctions raised another $793 for AMGB.

Since I love even numbers, I just personally donated $175.00 to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer to make the buy.at Give Back Event's total funds raised…. $2,000!

A heartfelt thanks goes out to the buy.at team, their sponsors, all of the attendees that sported their pink to the party, and the winners of the silent auction.

MWAH!
