Peanuts to Profits With Thor Schrock
Taking Internet Marketing from Peanuts to Profits

I have spent the past couple days in Las Vegas at Leadscon 08. This is the first conference that separated lead generation from the affiliate marketing space. Some people don’t really think there is much of a difference between lead generation and affiliate marketing, and others say it’s about time that someone gave lead gen its own conference.

Lead generation is connecting a potential customer and a client together and then allowing the client to convert that customer. Affiliate marketing is converting a customer for a client and sharing in the revenue from the sale.

If any of the HP deals look interesting, just click the link to take advantage of the offer. The expiration Dates are listed with each one. Some of these are pretty targeted toward business users instead of home users, but then again you never know what some people will need. Enjoy!

Earlier this week I was offered an invite to Azoogle’s Affiliate Appreciation Day in Ne York. I guess it’s a gathering to thank some of Azoogle’s top affiliates in the New York Area.

Turns out it was an Under Armour Jacket, long sleeve T, and skull cap from CPA Empire! I was totally surprised. I guess I am the only guy on planet Earth who didn’t know that owning Under Armour gear raises a normal person’s street cred. In fact, my staff thought I was uber cool for buying anything from Under Armour!

Maybe now that all of their mergers are complete, someone from Rocket Profit reading this post will get in touch with us about Top Affiliate Challenge. If I like the offers I see after my application is approved, I will definately be knocking on their door!

So on to the FREE passes…. While I was on the phone with him I asked if there was any chance he would be willing to give me a couple free passes to the conference to give away on my blog (I already have the 4 passes I need for my staff). After a ton of arm twisting he gave up a couple all-access passes - $800 in value.

The Rio where the conference was held was full, so we got a room at Treasure Island and rented a 2007 Mustang convertible. You should have seen he people walking around Vegas in winter coats. It was 50 degrees outside and we had on short sleeves with the top down. People thought we were nuts! Little did they know we are from Nebraska where it was -10 and snowing that day

I met Kris Jones on the set of the Next Internet Millionaire and he seems like a pretty cool guy. I emailed him to say hi and I was stunned to hear that he had been waiting for my application! (I’m sure he says that to all the boys)
