My Penguin Travels The places and people the penguin visits

The Penguin at the ASW08 Pinacle Awards

I was fortunate to be able to attend the Affililiate Summit Pinacle Awards. I even had the opportunity to speak with all but one. Being surround by so many smart successful people just taught me, this bird has a lot to learn. I’m so excited!

The winners were (in order of appearance):

Affiliate of the Year - Connie Berg _ Connie is very active in the affiliate community, beyond growing her business. Although the Affiliate world says she’s earn a spectacular honor, you’d never see an attitude change, Connie is one cool, down to earth chick.

Affiliate Manager of the Year - Melissa Salas - I’ll have to catch Melissa at the next Summit.. sorry girl!

Exceptional Merchant - CSN Stores -

This is Brent Elias - His personality and attitude are exceptional as well. He’s extremely easy to talk with, open to ideas and always willing to help. That smile, isn’t just his camera face! I only wish I was a fabulous seller and could do my part increase his stats even more.

Affiliate Marketing Advocate Award - Haiko de Poel, Jr. - Haiko is the creator of ABestWeb.com, a community for affililiates and program managers to share ideas and learn from each other. The ABW family is just darn lovely… thanks to the man in charge.

Best Blogger - Sam Harrelson

I had never met Sam until this day nor had I read his blog. immediately after saying hello I realized this is a man with a fabulous personality, a great wit and quite fun to talk with. I can see why he makes for a fantastic blogger.. entertainment and enlightenment are natural in his space. I caught a glimpse of his road rally skills too.. that’s all I have to say.

Wayne Porter Affiliate Marketing Legend - Brian Littleton - Brian is one of the founders of ShareASale.com, a fantastic affiliate marketing network. One of the coolest things about Brian and his company is the sincere desire to not only hear about things that need improvement… but he is actively trying to make the improvements happen both with his business and the way people interact in the industry.

I don’t know how I survived the day being surround by so many bright lights… no sunburn at all and no sunscreen… did you notice those smiles? I’m telling you, I really think there is a connection between happiness and success - not just success and happiness. I don’t know the actual formula, I’m working on that too. I do know, however, next time I will definitely need to remember to wear my shades
