Network Solutions - Small business conversations and working together for small business success

Affiliate Marketing Conference Recap

Last week, Shashi was out at The Affiliate Summit Social Media 2008 which took place on October 5, 2008 at Baruch College Vertical Campus Conference Center in New York City.

There were many sessions and the one with Shashi was titled “Making Social Media Make Money”. Here is a great write up from Zac Johnson who attended the conference as well:

The “Making Social Media Make Money” panel, which I did not expect too much from, actually ended up being the best panel of the day, in my opinion. To start it off, each speaker had their own slides to run through, instead of an open panel discussion, like the previous sessions. The speakers on the panel were Jay Berkowitz, Shashi Bellamkonda and Larry Bailin. Jay Berkowitz went through 50 slides in roughly 10-15 minutes, but he had everything memorized in his head, so it was an awesome run down of many sites and how they are banking and taking advantage of social media. Shashi, from Network Solutions also gave his views on social marketing and how his company it using it to interact with customers. Lastly, Larry Bailin was up and his presentation was also great. In addition to being a great speaker, Larry had some great content to share as well, along with a short video he created for a client (which was in-turn also used for social marketing).

Other excellent resources recapping the event include the Affiliate Thing podcast, where Lisa Picarille and Shawn Collins recapped the recent social media conferences including this one. Also, on Shawn Collins’ blog, there is also a mention of Shashi’s work here Network Solutions bringing in tools like Twitter to really help customer server.

It looked like a very informative and productive day for attendees. Plus, Shashi got some great photos of the event. Check them out below in this new slideshow:
