Jeremy Schoemaker Keynote at Affiliate Summit West 2012


Jeremy "Shoemoney" Schoemaker delivered the closing keynote session at Affiliate Summit 2012 in Las Vegas. Jeremy's message:   1. "Opportunities of a lifetime" now come around about once a year, if you know what to look for 2. Those with the balls to act on them win. Jeremy is a pull no punches kind of guy and one of the most successful entrepreneurs I know, and an inspiration. And it was entertaining to say the least.  Check it out.

Fascinating: Philosophy of Cosmology


Sam writes:

Ilove the idea of examining this idea of a “philosophy of cosmology”…

Form the original article: What Happened Before the Big Bang? The New Philosophy of Cosmology by The Atlantic:

“This question of accounting for what we call the “big bang state” — the search for a physical explanation of it — is probably the most important question within the philosophy of cosmology, and there are a couple different lines of thought about it.” 

As a closet philosopher, I love this stuff. 

 

My favorite quote from the article:

Well gee, you're telling me the universe began in some extremely unlikely or improbable state" and you wonder is there any explanation for that. Is there any principle that you can use to account for the big bang state?

Exactly. Something just doesn't feel right about the current "as simple as that" explanation that has at least made it out to the lay person.

Though as soon as I open my mouth about it, I'm instantly over my head.  Thus my "closet" status. Regardless, this is a fun read.  And he disses on Hawking, which is pretty ballsy.

Sarah Bundy on Making a Difference in Affiliate Marketing


Sarah Bundy writes: Affiliate Marketing. Business Strategy. E-commerce 3.0 I couldn’t sleep last night. I kept having the question asked of me in my interview with Daniel M Clark of QAQN.com yesterday “What do we need to do to turn this industry around and give it the positive name it deserves.” repeat in my head.My initial answer was “People need to be more accountable for their actions and what they do. Education is also key and will go a long way.” In return I asked Daniel what he thought and he replied “We just need some good PR”. Yes. We do. Sarah's got some great thoughts here. It'll take more than press releases for sure.  But that's not the only form of PR. I see from her website that she's a member of the Performance Marketing Association.  In addition to blogging, that association, I think, is the platform from which the voice of change can be focused and amplified. People just need to get involved.
