According to DMNews, payday lender Advance America has launched a new type of marketing campaign. They are using various marketing campaigns like social networking sites, direct mail, internet marketing and more to try and keep their name in front of consumers who might be going through tough times. They are looking to generate consumers who would like to share their experiences with the company, and other potential payday loan recipients. Advance America is posting all these testimonials on the site www.whoisthereforyou.com for other consumers to be able to read and relate to. They want consumers to understand that others have been through their same type of situation, and Advance America is there for them in these tough times.
This is a great way for a payday company to bring some positive light to an industry that is not always getting the right kind of attention.
A payday lender doing this definitely shows that they do care about their customers!

Forums – a great way to learn and get to know professionals in your niche. First time I read anything on a Forum I gave up after couple of threads, because of the aggressive and “no ending” fights going on in there. Hiding yourself in the Cyber Space under different names and start attacking anyone you feel like. Well, that’s still the case even in the best forums out there, but I guess that’s what helps creating the buzz. Together with the “exciting” and really “passionate” fights, you have the chance to meet very talented professionals that love the freedom of speech, and most likely can teach you more than any of the panelists from the trade shows you are going to. 

Some Forums are better than others, and I am not going to rank them here, because it’s very subjective, but for sure some can increase your level of adrenaline – WickedFire is just one example . One thing I can say for sure, go out there, check them out and learn from the Pros, as you will find many of them. 

Leadpile Lead Exchange (Marketplace or Affiliate Network) is definitely looking out there and learning from everyone. 

I will close this post with a quote:

Many in the affiliate marketing world are getting ready to reunite with those in the industry, or see some NEW faces at the Affiliate Summit Boston. The Affiliate Summit is a great place to get to see what others are doing in the industry, hear some new concepts, and get some nice FREE goodlies from all the booths.
The mission of the Affiliate Summit is to be the leading global source of learning and networking opportunities surrounding the affiliate marketing industry, according to Webmasterradio.com.

Leadpile Lead Exchange will not be having a full booth set up, however we will be apart of the “Meet Market” gathering. We will also be visiting all the booths to say hi!
We looking forward to seeing all of our wonderful affiliates that attend the conference!
