I’m speaking at Search Engine Watch Forums LIVE at the DisneyLand Hotel tomorrow. I used to do public speaking all the time, typically a half day seminar. It’s funny but doing a 3-5 hour seminar about affiliate marketing seems pretty easy, but trying to talk about AM for only 20 minutes, which is all the time I have seems hard. I thought about which aspects of the biz I should talk about since I won’t be able to cover much. I wondered about the type of audience and what would be most interesting to them. I know they will all be into SEO, of course, I assume those that do affiliate marketing are on the pro side but who knows. There may be agencies, merchants and affiliate managers there as well. After thinking of all the potential AM related topics I could talk about, I came up with a plan that I think will work very nicely given the allotted time. It will be very interactive and will get the crowd involved. I’m even giving away a very cool prize any SEO would be happy to win.

Can’t wait to meet Danny Sullivan, the famous Founder and Editor of Search Engine Watch, Elisabeth Osmeloski our fearless leader and some of the SEW mod squad team members like JenStar, Nacho, Joseph Morin, Lex and Marcia. I think some OC SEOs I used to know back when I was doing SEO for a living may show up as well. I sent invites to some of the local Internet associations I used to be involved in. The networking party afterwards which is being sponsored by the Yahoo! Publisher Network should be lots of fun. I may blog about the event on Friday, so stay tuned to the 5 Star Channel. ;-)
