I had the pleasure of meeting Carolyn Tang of Shareasale yesterday in Toledo. She is in the midst of her SAS Roadshow that is taking her from Chicago to New York City in time for Affiliate Summit. She stopped at Tony Packo’s for a few hours and I met up with her and Scott Campbell, a fellow affiliate marketer.
We had a really great conversation and lots of laughs about our past experiences, the industry that we are now in, and how it all relates. Turns out that I had met Carolyn before about 5 years ago in Las Vegas for a small conference of ABestWeb members. Sometimes this business can be such a small world.
Scott is also from the Metro Detroit area and we laughed that Carolyn should have driven up to meet us. Luckily Toledo is only about an hour’s drive away and it was well worth it. Scott and I do have plans to get a group of affiliate marketing people together in our area, perhaps starting next month, so please look out for the details of that. It would be great to get together with others on a regular basis to collaborate, learn, and discuss business.
An SAS meet up would just not be the same without some swag. I got loaded down with some shirts and some car magnets. I got some little ones for my daughter and nephews too. Don’t have a picture of the little ones as my daughter has pretty much been wearing hers nonstop since I gave it to her.
Here is Carolyn in her super awesome rental car as she headed out for her next stop. I hope that she has a great journey and meets some really cool people along the way. I look forward to reading her updates.
On a side note, I took all these pictures with my new iPhone. I’m really happy how most of them turned out. That is one handy little gadget and I absolutely love it.
