The closing keynote of Affiliate Summit West Las Vegas was delivered by my good friend and enemy (frienemy?) Jeremy Schoemaker of Shoemoney.com. The keynote would be Shoe’s 50th presentation and his last.
I actually recorded the entire presentation and was going to process it with Shoe’s slides, but had to scrap the idea when I found out that recording of any Affiliate Summit sessions were not allowed (this is why the other ASW session videos were removed). Shoe went and got special permission to make the presentation available. He then had a member of his staff processed the video with the slides. That saved me a lot of work.

I met many John Chow dot Com readers while at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show and Affiliate Summit. It’s always fun to see what kind of impact one can make on people’s lives. One of the things I never get tired of is hearing the success stories from readers of my blog. Normally, it’s a conversation shared between me and the reader. However, I decided to film a few of them this time.

You can look at 2012 as the same old same old, or you can look at it as an opportunity to start fresh. I personally do not believe in making new year’s resolutions because they’re too easy to break. I like to make clearly defined goals and then create a plan to get it. If your goal is to make 2012 your best blogging year, then taking the following actionable steps will help get you there.

What better way to close out 2011 and welcome 2012 than by having a hot bowl of Pho in the great outdoors, while soaking up 75F sunshine? Well, you could have done that if you were with us at Dot Com Pho Orange Country! Thanks to #SMMOC, we had a nice turn out of nine people making it to the last Pho of 2011.

30How To Move Subscribers From One List To Another
Filed in: Make Money Online by RMS on 12-30-11If you’re like me, you maintain more than one email list. Aweber allows you to set up an unlimited number of lists and auto-responders. Separating your list into difference segments is not only smart, it’ll make you more money. A problem that many email marketers have is moving a subscriber from one list to another. There is no “move” function in Aweber or any other email host providers. This is because the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 requires permission from your subscribers in order to move them. However, if you’re using Aweber, there is a way around this rule.
