8 Days to go....
November 17, 2008 - 08:12am

|

The gates are going to be opened in 8
days. The conference handbook and the various banners are at
the printer. Conference bag has arrived from China.
Marketing material from various vendors abroad is getting
packed at our offices. "Live person" is constantly beeping
with people asking questions about registration and room
booking. With 530 people already registered we know it is
going to be packed, warm and interesting.
We are very pleased with the amount of interest the
conference generates and the general positive feedback we
get from various individuals in the industry. The amount of
international attendees makes us to believe that next year
Affilicons will become the place to be for anyone who is
operating Affiliate program and for all major affiliates in
the world.
The Affilicon team is very committed to make Affilicon a
professional, to be remembered event ( and we are sure that
next one will be even better and bigger.)
Be ready for further announcements about parties and more
surprises. |

Following my previous blog posted on
September 4th I thought I will update you with our progress.
Our continuous effort pays off. We have now over 20,000
mentions when you search Affilicon at Google. 400+
participants have already registered (80+ are coming from
abroad) .Exhibition is almost sold out. Our Facebook group
has grown to almost 750 members. We have almost 500 daily
visitors to the Affilicon.com site (50% are not from
Israel).
We have just launched a banner campaign at some relevant
sites and we forecast increased traffic and registration for
the conference.
Look at Yediot Achronut this coming Friday (October 31st). A
double spread article is planned.
We are very excited about the level of interest and we are
sure Affilicon will be a corner stone for the affiliation
industry in Israel.
See you all at Affilicon on November 24-25th. |

35 days to Go
October 19, 2008 - 07:12am

The last 2 weeks were crazy here. As I
wrote in my last blog post, the past 2 weeks we were working
around the clock even throughout the holidays, weekends,
anything to close the gap. Between our business and
Affilicon we are juggling to make it all happening. So where
are we at? we are progressing fast, more and more sponsors
are joining the Affilicon as well as attendees. We expect to
have the event a blowout. So what should you expect to to
have there? First is the full 2 fully packed days with
sessions revolving affiliate marketing: SEO, SEM,
Pay-Per-Click, Web2.0, Videos etc'. We have announced our 2
keynote speakers to be Noam Lanir, CEO of Livermore
Investments (ex. Empire Online, the biggest affiliate ever
in the world) and Gigi Levy, CEO of 888 Holdings. Then we
have an exhibition - Affiliates can meet merchants,
affiliate programs and service providers which they can do
business with. Finally lots of networking...this is one of
the secrets of success of conferences...get to know people,
affiliates, colleagues, competitors and more. And don't miss
out the Party!!! more details on the party will be released
shortly. |

Less Than 2 Months to Go
October 4, 2008 - 11:44pm

At Israel many celebrate the Jewish
New Year these days. Not too many working days (some work 10
days all October!!! can you believe it?!). There are less
than 2 months to go to the launch of the conference and
things looking great. We are almost done with all the
sponsorships and exhibitors. There is going to be a great
party (details will be published soon) and new attendees are
registering daily. There is a good chance the event will be
sold out a few weeks before the event date. If you are
planning on coming, I suggest you register now as we will
might have to close registration and refuse attendees as
soon as we get to the full capacity of the event. Shana Tova
to all! |

Affilicon was initially
introduced on Aug 1st. We have selected to start the
conference marketing by using free of charge online
marketing tools. We used, primarily, free of charge
emails to selected contacts (which we personally know or
know off). We have opened an "Affilicon group" at
Facebook and currently we have over 500 individuals
subscribed. Posting in various posts, setting up a site
for Affilicon and updating through blogs ( such as this
one) have resulted in over 100 paying participants and
over 50% of the exhibition space sold. Searching at
Google for Affilicon results now with over 2,000
mentions. So far so good and with minimal cost.
We are adding now some paid activities. We have just
lunched a PPC campaign at Google and we are going to
publish few press releases for the Israeli media.
Will report back with results as we accumulate them. |

First Post -
Affilicon is Launched
August 17, 2008 - 8:27am

Everyone reading this
probably spends most of their time like me, living in a
virtual world. All our interaction is on a monitor. It’s a
fascinating world bounded only by our imagination and
creativity. But the downside is that it can be lonely.
There is nothing like the human contact that comes from
conferences and other get-togethers. Spending a few hours
with people who, like us, wake every morning thinking about
the same issues is very special. There’s energy and synergy
created that cannot be achieved anywhere else.
It’s the reason that conferences, expos and market places
are one of the oldest of human activities. People love to
come together to see what’s new, to exchanges news (and
gossip), to listen and to learn. Just one good idea, one
good contact could reap rewards for years to come.
Affilicon now makes this possible for the first time in
Israel. Not having to travel abroad not only saves money but
also precious time. A minimal investment can return great
benefits.
Responses to the initial announcement about plans for
Affilicon have been excellent. “It’s about time someone
organized this” has been the general comment.
But it’s not enough to say “it’s a great idea”. You, the
affiliate entrepreneur are an essential part of the success
of this event. The vendors, media companies, affiliate
programs, operators and the experts come to meet you. Your
fellow entrepreneurs come to meet you. That’s what
networking and synergy is all about.
The organizers have put together an action packed program of
information and ideas to help you make more money from your
efforts.
We look forward to meeting you in November. |
