Today marks the midpoint of Affiliate Summit East, which reminds me of a pretty cool event leading up to the conference: the Nike Challenge Missy Ward and Shawn Collins set up. They pledged to donate $5,000 if people were willing to put in the miles. $1 for each mile run.
And run they did. 61 people in affiliate marketing contributed by lacing up their sneakers and downloading their runs to the Nike+ website. The challenge was so popular, that that 5,000 miles was reached long ago.
I ended up in 27th place with 115.04 miles run over 179 days. I had a few challenges here and there and probably didn’t run as much as I should have. It did motivate me to run more though, something I often have trouble with.
Early on in the challenge I made the decision to donate $1 for each mile I ran over the challenge and yesterday I happily made a donation to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. I think it is so important to give back whenever you can.
Thank you to Missy and Shawn for doing something so wonderful!

Jeremy Schoemaker has launched his Shoemoney System 2.0 today. This coaching program consists of 9 modules to help you learn how to make money online.
He runs through everything about creating the right mindset, to arbitrage (ever wondered what this means, now you can find out), to learning all about internet marketing from the inside out. There is even a section on making money on Facebook. With everyone and their grandmother on Facebook, this is a big opportunity waiting to happen. Everything is online but you will also receive each of the 9 training modules on DVD. So if you have a slow internet connection or want to watch the video lessons offline, you can do so.
The best part of the Shoemoney System is he is offering it with a 60 day money back guarantee. If you don’t like it or his style is not for you, then you can ask for a refund and receive it with no hassles.
The Shoemoney System also includes 4 conference calls, access to VIP forums where Jeremy & his staff will be online to help you out, and the ability to email his team with questions. That is a bit unheard of, with many marketers hiding their email address behind an outsourced help desk. You will also receive $2500 in advertising credits to try your hand at online advertising with big networks.
This time around the system is a one time charge with no monthly fee. You get access to everything immediately. I am also offering a Shoemoney System Bonus, a 39 page ebook on Business Advertising with Social Media to help supplement your training from Shoemoney. As soon as your check out, then send me a copy of your email receipt. As soon as I confirm your purchase, I will give you access to the ebook.
Hurry and get in today. You can order through this link here.

I have to admit that I am not always on top of things in the blogging world. It was only recently that I revived an older blog (this one) to discuss issues related to being a wahm and affiliate marketing. It wasn’t until last year that I started to hear a buzz about the so called ‘mommy blogger.’
Now I will say that there are a couple of blogs that I follow here and there that would qualify for the title. I knew that there were bloggers that chronicled their life and that of their offspring online.
I have never done that though. I have never been comfortable sharing personal information or pictures of my family online. Unless you are in my inner circle, you probably don’t even know my husband or daughter’s name. I like things that way.
Plus my family is a bit off the beaten path. Many of the companies that are looking for reviews or endorsements of their products are simply not ones that we would use in our home. So while I am all for getting free samples of things and trying them out, I’m not really sure my home would be the right fit.
*Note to companies: If you are looking for a Waldorf, eco-friendly, vegetarian family that tends to use natural toys and fibers to review your products, please contact me 
*
Instead I am happy with my focus here. I want to continue to bring news and advice about working at home and the affiliate marketing industry to my readers. I hope that you don’t mind that I have only invited you into my home office and not given you more access to the private details of my life and family.
So with that, a question for you. Are you more likely to take advice from someone that is more open about their family and personal life or is it really the quality of the advice that matters? I look forward to your answers.
