AWeber Celebrates 15 Years in Business

August 29, 2013 by Shawn Collins

Tom Kulzer started up AWeber 15 years ago to help him and his peers follow up with clients.

AWeber celebrates 15 yearsHe wanted an email solution to help him and his colleagues follow up with clients, so he developed AWeber.

After he left the company where he was selling wireless modems, his former co-workers kept asking if they could use the follow up system with their new companies.

And that’s how AWeber started… to make marketing follow ups easier for small businesses.

I’ve been a longtime customer, and I love the toolset and the staff. Not only do I use AWeber for my personal sites and lists, but we also use it for Affiliate Summit.

Happy 15 years, AWeber.

Affiliate Summit East 2013 Day 2 Recap

August 20, 2013 by Shawn Collins

Monday, August 19, 2013 was the second day of Affiliate Summit East 2013 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.

The day started with a tasty breakfast for VIP and All Access pass holders, followed by some brief announcements from Affiliate Summit East 2013 Emcee, Wade Tonkin.

Then there was an inspiring keynote address from Dr. Randal Pinkett, Founder, Chairman and CEO of BCT Partners.

I might be a little biased, but my favorite slide was one where Dr. Pinkett featured pictures of a bunch of different entrepreneurs and talked about how none were individuals – they were all teams. Among the teams featured were Missy Ward and me. 🙂

The exhibit hall opened on day 2 and thousands of affiliate marketers came together for a full day of networking.

In addition to all of the business talk in the exhibit hall, there were also educational sessions throughout the day at Affiliate Summit East 2013.

And we had a Philadelphia themed lunch complete with cheesesteaks, hoagies, soft pretzels, and Tastykakes.

After the education sessions, there were a series of Ask the Experts roundtables, where a number of interactive discussions were led by industry veterans.
