Your Brand & My Chest = Win (For Charity!) Posted: 03 Dec 2014 07:25 AM PST I am auctioning myself to wear your company’s shirt for 3 days during the Affiliate Summit West Event January 2014 in Las Vegas.  I will wear nothing but your companies shirt (even to clubs and parties) for the 3 days. The winning company will need to send me 3 XL shirts or you can bring them to the event if you are attending. Go Here To Bid now! About the auction: To date I have raised a lot of money from T-Shirt Auctions for charity.  This is a huge opportunity for you to get your brand out to hundreds of thousands of people in the industry and also give to a great cause! All of the proceeds go to charity in the name of the  Affiliate Marketers Give Back foundation which is a non profit group lead by Missy Ward (Affiliate Summit Co-Founder). This is a HUGE opportunity to get your company out to a very targeted audience.  I normally take between 50 and 100 pictures with people and this year we will be doing video again interviewing people in the expo hall. Here is the history of my T-Shirt Auction for Charity and details: At Affiliate Summit West 2009 I agreed to wear your companies logo EXCLUSIVELY at Affiliate Summit west and the auction ended up going for $10,000 !!!!. The winning bidders Trainsignal, makers of computer training software, were in attendance. We gave the money on behalf of the Affiliate Marketers Give Back foundation to the National Breast cancer society. Then at Affiliate Summit East 2009 I did the same auction again for the Lincoln City People’s Mission Homeless Shelter and it ended at $11,000.00. The winning bidder was the giant coupon site retailmenot.com  Once more a year ago at Affiliate Summit West 2010 I held an auction that raised $10,100 for the People’s City Mission again, the high bid coming from ClickBooth.   In 2011 Banner Ad Rockstar won the Auction for $5,000.00 2012 ASW Hostzilla Webhosting company for $5710   2012 Leadscon NYC BMI Elite – $5000 2012 Affiliate Summit West – Anthony Morrison – $5,000    2013 Affiliate Summit West – Go Social affiliate network – $5,000   Its really been awesome raising over $60,000.00 Total at Affiliate Summit events by wearing a companies t-shirt. This is a great chance to get your brand out there and also support a GREAT CAUSE! You will receive a TON of exposure. And A LOT MORE than just a handsome model wearing your logo! Video Exposure: At Affiliate Summit this year we have gone through all the background checks, union agreements, and other hoops to be one of very few people allowed to take video inside of Affiliate Summit West. I already have about 15 companies booked to interview them about their services and also will be doing some general video. I also am asked about 10-20 times to be video interviewed (nobody is supposed to shoot video without authorization people will do it outside of conference areas) and your shirt will be shown. I have over 10,000 YouTube subscribers and am by far the most subscribed to person in this niche. All of the subscribers get alerted each time I upload a video. Each of my videos also has a chance of being syndicated by techcrunch/mashable or another large HUGE website and giving your company more exposure. I will also put the video on our CDN which will be ShoeMoney branded and get more exposure on the blog here. Photo Exposure: My photo gallery is the most visited section of ShoeMoney.com other than the root domain. Check these stats out from the last year. You are not reading that wrong… over 6 million page views to the blog and almost 1 million to the photo gallery.  That’s quite an amazing reach! (yes when I redid the blog last august I forgot to re-add my analytics code so its actually a bit more).  But besides the TONS of photos I will have in my own gallery, there will be loads of them on flickr and Facebook that people will tag and they’ll be seen by many. Bid now!

ProBlogger: Is it Time to Burn Feedburner? There are Alternatives

Is it Time to Burn Feedburner? There are Alternatives Posted: 02 Dec 2014 06:51 AM PST This is a guest contribution from Steve Williams of feedburner-alternatives.com To build up a readership it's crucial to offer your visitors to subscribe to your blog, so they get updated every time you publish a new post. The two most important channels are email and RSS. Social media, despite the hype, is only second priority in terms of effectiveness. Several services exist which help you to offer easy RSS & Email subscription options, ranging from RSS subscription facilitators (turning your RSS feed into a nice-to-look-at subscription screen which anyone can understand), RSS2Email as well as classic Email marketing services. Feedburner: The top dog in decline The – by far – most popular choice in the blogging community is (still) Feedburner. Feedburner offers solutions for both RSS and Email. And the best of it: it's 100% free. However, since Google bought Feedburner in 2007, it never got further developed. Several features got shut down, such as the monetization tool Adsense for feeds as well as the Feedburner API. And it's getting worse: more and more bloggers notice that Feedburner's email delivery is not working reliably anymore. And as there has been no Google support to solve the issue many bloggers have given up on Feedburner. However: which alternative services could take Feedburner's spot? The Feedburner alternatives The essence of our research: there's not one solution for all. It all depends on what your needs are. Credit to feedburner-alternatives.com Feedburner is not working anymore, and it's time to do the switch. If you used Feedburner to handle your RSS feeds, Feedblitz (inexpensive) and Feedpress (slightly more expensive, but more features) are the way to go. If you also used Feedburner to update your readers by email, then Feedblitz is the first choice which offers the most advanced solutions for both RSS and email (however, they charge quite a bit). If you want to spice up your email newsletter a bit more, it may be worth to switch to the services which focus on those, i.e. either Mailchimp or Aweber. For the RSS-part you can then use Feedblitz or Feedpress. Are you already using one of those alternatives? Let us know in the comments! Steve Williams initiated www.feedburner-alternatives.com, reacting to the increasing frustration with Feedburner and the time-consuming process to find an alternative. Contact him on his page with suggestions on how to further improve the overview. Originally at: Blog Tips at ProBlogger Is it Time to Burn Feedburner? There are Alternatives
