Ted Murphy(@tedmurphy), the Founder and CEO of Izea was our special guest this week.

The topics that were discussed today were:

Bloggers are adding more affiliate marketing to their blog monetization. Why now and what are the opportunities for big-time bloggers and the little guy?

The opportunities for bloggers and advertisers with SocialSpark and PayPerPost

Why Affiliate Managers should be concentrating on recruiting bloggers and how to go about doing so the right way.

The financial effect that affiliate marketing has had on affiliates' lives and the gamble getting into the industry. (We were too long-winded on the other topics that we decided to table this for another time).

Lisa Picarille debriefs us on Lobby Day in Sacramento

Show Notes:

Missy checks her ego and the door and makes a new rule that the weekly special guest shall always pick the opening music.

Great brands paired up with great bloggers = win-win (ex: Wal-Mart 11 Moms, Chris Brogan and Kmart)

The differences and opportunities between SocialSpark and PayPerPost

How advertisers are measuring social media campaign successes

Why more bloggers are monetizing their blogs now via affiliate marketing, sponsored posts, etc. and why is Marshall Kirkpatrick still shaking his head at it?

What's the deal with “the Tongue“?

Missy's going to IzeaFest at Seaworld. Is the conference for you, too?

How Advertisers, Affiliate Managers and OPM's should approach bloggers — and how NOT to.

How a random product can create buzz via social media (ex: Xshot)

San Francisco Lobby day updates regarding California AB 178 and why Karen Garcia is a Rockstar!

Calling all Minnesota Affiliate Marketers: Connie Berg needs your help to fight #advertisingtax in your home state

Missy loves Quickertek.com ‘s External Battery for the MacBook Air, but hates the fact that they don't have an affiliate program

I (@missyward) moderated this week with panelists:

Karen Garcia (@KarenGarcia), Co-founder of GTOManagement.com

Lisa Riolo (@LisaRiolo), Internet Marketing Consultant

Kim Rowley (@KIMarketing), owner of Key Internet Marketing

Our special guest this week is Brian Littleton (@BrianLittleton), President and CEO of ShareASale.com. (Kudos to him for being our first male guest and for taking on the ladies!)

This week's episode covers:

The turmoil surrounding California Assembly Bill 178 (the knock-off of the NY Bill that targeted affiliates and rocked the Affiliate World)

The Bill explained in layman's terms and why the ugliest word in the English language is “nexus”.

Who is affected by this bill and why it's more than just affiliates and merchants in California that have to be worried.

Why “nexus” is being challenged now by states across the country even though the Supreme Court ruled on this subject 20 years ago in Quill Corp. vs. N. Dakota.

What ShareASale as a network is doing to help affiliates and merchants in affected states.

What affiliate marketers are doing to fight AB 178 and how you can join the grass roots efforts to help squash it, too.

The additional states that are working on similar anti-affiliate legislation and where it all stands today.

Other topics that were discussed and laughed over were:

Go-Girl: The female urination device.

Brian Littleton's interview for a new VH1 reality show

Working from home and balancing time for the kids (Missy, FAIL).
