The Performance Marketing industry is full of a lot of crap, and worse, a lot of crap that looks like it comes from experts. Too many bloggers out there are just bloggers, no experience in the industry and spend their entire time telling people how successful they are. Still there are more than a few bloggers that actually have been a success in the business and pass bits of information about the industry to their readers and we need to pay attention to them.

AffiliateTip with Shawn Collins

Shawn has been around as long as I have, and I’m not sure how he manages to actually do an updated blog with a plethora of information that is relevant while also running Affiliate Summit and a bunch of other things. He’s always been able to identify trends and because of that, you need to pay attention to him.
