The Buzz is where affiliate marketers have been coming to be inspired, informed, and motivated to succeed since way back in 2003. This week, James and Arlene have a little look back to the early days of the buzz and also have a special treat for you.

Arlene sent out an email to a number of the leading experts in the affiliate marketing experts asking for a shoutout and their #1 tip for winning BIG in affiliate marketing.

James takes a look back at 2003, and talks about the beginnings of the Affiliate Buzz, and other notable beginnings that same year including Affiliate Summit and Google Adsense. James talks about why he started the Buzz, which was to solve a problem of helping students with their questions and giving them feedback, since there was no Social networks. We called it an "audio newsletter" because podcasting had not even started yet, and we have had the privilege of recording the show from all over the world wherever we happened to be traveling.

Affiliate Marketing Tips From Industry Leaders

This is a special gift. Each audio snippet gives you the best tips top performers have learned from many years of experience in the Affiliate arena. We are honored to hear from many industry leaders we have had a relationship with for up to 20 years. These people have many years of experience and have gone through all the Internet growing pains, to now run successful businesses that cater to affiliates with a variety of products and services. James talks about how we met these people, what they have to offer, and then we hear from them - their favorite affiliate marketing tips to increase commissions!

Winning Big in Affiliate Marketing

Attending events, learning from leaders and applying what you learn is the foundation to success. The desire to share and help others in the industry has been very rewarding to us, and has been a foundational way these leaders have found success growing their business.
