ShareASale launched a pretty cool game to help raise some money for Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City, which is the official charity of Affiliate Summit East 2009. Basically it is setup like the game show Deal Or No Deal, in which you pick stars instead of suitcases. The cool thing is it doesn’t cost money, but they are donating money to the charity.
If you haven’t played yet, go and play. I hit the $18 donation mark. Can you beat that?
Nice work ShareASale!
Missy Ward, co-founder of Affiliate Summit, is looking for support to help fight breast cancer. Missy started Affiliate Marketers Fight Back in 2007 to raise money to support Breast Cancer research, treatment, awareness and community programs through combined efforts within the Affiliate Marketing industry.
This year they are putting together a team to raise money and join the Avon Walk For Breast Cancer on September 12-13. You can get involved by walking with the team, donating money, or becoming a sponsor of the team. Check out Missy’s site for more information.
Awesome work Missy. I love what you’re doing!
This past month we have been running a contest to win a $250 Amazon.com gift card. Basically there was three different ways to enter.
The drawing was today. We took all of the contestants and put them on a spreadsheet. Each of the entries where given a number from 4-202. You can see it here.
The next step was to select a number. We entered the numbers in the form at Random.org and clicked generate. You can see our result below.

I just wanted to write a quick note that our contest to win a $250 Amazon.com gift card ends June 18th, 2009 11:59pm PST. That is just 2 days from the time I’m writing it. There is still plenty of time to enter if you haven’t already.
Note, the drawing will be held this Friday!
The Affiliate Love Project is being launched with a bang. Well, actually more like a $250 Amazon.com gift card. I was thinking about what a cool prize would be to offer for an initial contest, and came to the conclusion that I’d leave that up to the winner. Since Amazon.com has pretty much everything from iPods to groceries, you choose how you want to spend it.
The winner will be selected in a random drawing on June 19th, 2009. Deadline to enter the contest is June 18th, 2009 11:59pm PST.
Here is the good news. There are 3 ways to enter (if you do all 3 you will be entered into the drawing 3 times).
