For those of you who do not know, I am in Las Vegas right now for Affiliate Summit. It's the biggest event of the year for sites like ours and absolutely HUGE! I always come back with goodies to give away, new merchants, and new ideas for the site. It does mean that I am not around to answer questions as quickly but between, Kevin, the moderators, and Ashleigh, you are in good hands. :)

I'm speaking today about how to monetize pop culture sites, a passion of mine. I'm also meeting with a few merchants to see how we can better work them this year. It's a fun event but is non-stop action!!

Tomorrow I will be speaking about how merchants can better work with affiliates. I'm hoping to dazzle all of the merchants in the room so that they will want to work with Sunshine Rewards. ;)

Then Tuesday will be the announcement of affiliate of the year, which I am so nervous about!!!

That's the quick and dirty. I'll be checking in as I am able, but the mods know how to get a hold of me quickly if anything goes really haywire!

Whew! Just got home last night and am trying to get caught up on everything from unpacking my suitcase to charging my phone. Whirlwind trip as usual. I'll start posting updates today. :)

Sadly, no. I lost to Woot. :(

:computer: Never even heard of Woot!! Sunshine Rewards is much better than something with a weird name like Woot!

We all think you're amazing and that's all that counts! We missed you and can't wait to see what you brought us!! :rotfl:

It is a daily deals site, but I'm still not sure how it compares to SR. Did the award cover all types of websites?

Here is a link to Woot. http://www.woot.com/WhatIsWoot.aspx

Tricia - even if you didn't win the award - you have the best site hands down!

It was actually just "affiliate of the year" so it could be a company or a person. I was nominated more for my work in the industry than my revenue. LOL

I'm surprised w00t won, given they are now part of Amazon. They're so 2007, anyways. ;)

Loved it! I saw him at a party Saturday night and then off and on throughout. He's only a part-time affiliate marketer right now but I am hoping will be full-time one of these days. I'm pretty sure that I will be able to get a pass again for next time to give away because I didn't screw this one up. LOL

Did you all hear my big sigh of relief a few minutes ago? That's because I have now actually read every single one of the 500+ emails that were in my inbox from while I was gone. Only 50 left to respond to. LOL
