My experiences with Entrepreneurship, Start Ups, User Acquisition, Educational Games, Product Development, Web Programing using LAMP, And Growing a Business
Can you believe it? Shawn Collins and Missy Ward have asked me to keynote Affiliate Summit West (ASW) 2018 in Las Vegas. What an honor I really appreciate the opportunity they’ve given me.
ASW was the first affiliate industry trade show I ever attended and totally changed my frame of reference of what’s possible in the online advertising and marketing world.
As a lot of you who already know my story already know…
Leave a CommentI think it’s a very special window of time we’re in when it comes to performance marketing. There’s some amazing opportunities and market conditions that are going to make some people extremely wealthy and you can be one of them. I dare to say it’s going to create some billionaires.
2 CommentsInterview I did after my talk at Affiliate World Europe. Break down some of my thoughts on the conference and those first steps to scaling an affiliate operation past being a solopreneur. Hope you enjoy.

I give some insights into how I look at vision, goals and modeling…
So here you go.
2 CommentsIn my previous post, How to hire your first employees and what to expect…, I talked about some of the steps you might need to put in place before you hire that person, who you should hire and what to expect from them.
As I spoke at AWE I had a lot of questions about who this Operations person was. So I thought I’d expand on the subject a little more.
Why hire a Director of Operations as you first hire

Slide decks from Affiliate World & Facebook Mastery
Many of you have asked for the slide deck I used in my presentations.
So I’ve setup a new Facebook messenger bot that when you…
2 CommentsMost of us entrepreneurs start in the affiliate world as “lone wolfs”. That is us doing all tasks in order to make the whole thing go.
Well at some point 1 of 3 things typically happens.
1. We get tired and don’t want to keep doing the same thing over and over
2. We see opportunity that we know we can’t get to on our own.
3. We want a lifestyle business that continues to run without us having to do everything every day.
I’ve been in this business for 12+ years and talk with 1,000’s of people all the time. And believe me everyone gets to this point.
But hiring people is scary…
4 CommentsAs I don’t have a lot of time to sit and write out long blog posts I thought I’d share some of my Skype group chat logs. I still spend hours talking in groups on Skype and there’s some really good stuff.
Skype is great in that it’s real time and you can get engaged in a discussion but then that content is lost. I love being able to go back and read my old posts from years ago. So in an effort to catalog some of my ideas permanently I’ll post them here.

Hope everyone is doing amazing.
I obviously haven’t had a lot of time to post lately. But, someone I know asked me to do a quick off the cuff interview and I took him up on it.
