Earlier today I received an email from TubeMogul.com. The message was to let me know that as an account holder, I should know that they have split their multi-site video submission service into a whole new site, OneLoad.com. I signed up with TubeMogul a long time ago (and never used it) but I’m just now making plans for video content so naturally, I clicked through. Rather than try to find my years-old username and password, I decided to just create a new account. At the end of the sign-up form, there’s this:
At a glance, it looks like OneLoad is just trying to prevent people from monetizing their videos, but that’s not the case; there is nothing here that says a company can’t upload a sales video. MLM, affiliate marketing, network marketing and home-based businesses… other businesses are perfectly welcome to upload videos.
Anyone who doesn’t think affiliate marketing has an image problem has their head in the sand. This is what we’re dealing with, folks.
This episode is all about turning points. I successfully quit smoking years ago after a long period of minor successes and failures, and much like smoking, quitting eating (so to speak) is a real trial. I know that if I can apply the same principles to one, I can have success with the other, and that’s where I am right now. It’s far easier to resist temptation if you’re not tempted to begin with. I’ve reached a turning point, and even in the time between recording the show and writing these show notes, I’ve proven to myself that I’m on the right track. Moving forward. One day at a time.
This week the show is helmed by myself and Jen Myers Ward, breaking the pattern of male dominance on the show (thankfully). We’re talking about cruises and buffets, the effects of weather on exercise routines, the Melting Pot, Girl Scout cookies, and a week-long charity project, among other things.
In which Daniel, Drew and Greg talk about one of the biggest stories in the intersection of parenting and social media this week: the father who put eight rounds into his daughter’s laptop because she wrote an expletive-filled rant about him on her Facebook page. …or did he?
In which Daniel and Drew (and later, Greg) welcome Rob Merlino to the show. Rob – The Hot Dog Man! – is on the show to talk about hamburgers and chicken–wait, what? Oh. Right. Hot dogs. The Hot Dog Man is on the show to talk about hot dogs. That makes more sense than what I was going to say.
I’m joined this week by Deborah Carney, who is on the show to talk about a new charity project to benefit Affiliate Marketers Give Back, in support of breast cancer research.
Like last week, this episode of AMFC is myself, Greg Hoffman and Kevin Webster. It’s another show with us guys on our own, and we’re not exactly sure that’s a good thing. We gave it the ol’ college try anyway.
It was shortly before the deadline for article proposals for FeedFront 17, when I thought, maybe I’ll take a break from podcasting articles and write up a little something about the Newcomer Program? It came together really well, almost effortless.
As you know (I hope!) all of my QAQN shows are broadcast live as they’re being recorded, and I thought others might like to know a bit about the hows and whys of it.
