It’s all about you. Well actually, it’s all about all of us.

We’re all in the affiliate marketing industry together, and when we act in concert for a common cause, great things can happen.

That is a guiding philosophy of Affiliate Summit, where we strive to run a true user- generated conference. An event by affiliate marketers and for affiliate marketers.

The whole operation lives and breathes on feedback, input, and participation from the industry.
And that’s the way things are going with FeedFront Magazine, too. The articles here are from the people of affiliate marketing: affiliates, merchants, and networks.

We figure the movers, shakers, and doers in affiliate marketing are the best to share perspectives and ideas, rather than folks that have to research how it’s all done.

But we can do more than come together to share information. We can also make a difference in the world.

It’s been inspiring to see affiliate marketers mobilize via Affiliate Summit to raise funds for a number of charities, including Susan G. Komen for the Cure, March of Dimes, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Nevada, and the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation.

Most recently, we’ve been working to benefit The LEAGUE, a school-based system that combines state standards-based lesson plans with community service events that teach students the value of giving and recognizes them for their efforts.

What can you give back today? Volunteer your time, ideas, and resources for a better industry and a better world.

To whom much is given, much is expected.
