I throw in a vote for Andrew Kuo. Additional stories are worth voting for as well, and it will be exciting to see who goes to Affiliate Summit.

@Andrew I’d really like to talk with you about your passion for students and building that social network. I have a similar passion as well as a need and some ideas… Please look me up to connect.

@copyblogger Hope I’m not throwing your storytelling off-track, but you did mention this was also about networking.

Today, I officially decided to drop out from the Chemical Engineering program at Case Western Reserve University. It was a difficult decision that required intense analysis and half-dozen in-depth conversations with friends and mentors.

This experience has been unreal, but it is nothing compared to what I have come to realize as a major problem. It’s the reason why I dropped out, and it’s the reason why the United States is ranked “No. 18 out of 24 nations (1 being the best and 24 being the worst) in terms of the relative effectiveness of its educational system” (Kapi’o Newspress). The problem is our students have lost their PASSION, the basic fundamental for success.

As I walk through my campus, I rarely encounter someone who speaks passionately about their future. Many students go to school for one reason only, and that is to get a degree that will enable them to make more money. It shouldn’t be about the money; it SHOULD BE about what you love doing.

Ever hear “The future lies in our children?” Well, I fear the future of the United States is in jeopardy if we do not solve this problem. Six months ago, I set a life-long goal to resolve this problem and to instill the passion back into our students. I have been developing ways to accomplish this goal, but I have hit a major road block. I don’t have a social network ready to support my ideas.

Affiliate Summit West will be an excellent start for growing my network and improving my social skills. It will be Social Networking 101 boot camp. An Affiliate Summit West Ticket will enable me to create this essential network, and will give me the opportunity to watch and meet some of the best marketers in this country. Everything I learn there will be one more step to reaching my goal. With an established network, next year I will be able to initiate small projects that will lay the foundation to this colossal undertaking.

To be honest, as of right now, I can only afford the 2-night stay in Las Vegas. BUT, if I get an Affiliate Summit West Ticket, I WILL find a way to raise enough money to get to Las Vegas.

Brian, give me this opportunity to accomplish my goal. My name is Andrew Kuo, and I want to ensure students don’t lose their passions.

Affiliate marketing has become a huge part of my business model. Affiliate Summit will allow me the chance to network with others in the affiliate marketing field. I can advance my affiliate marketing skills throughout 2009.

Brian thanks for the opportunity!

Where do I start? I’ve been earning money on the internet since 2006 off of advertisements and I’m tired of it. I watched my income drop from more than 10,000 a month to less than 7,000 a month resulting from the falling CPM prices. So, the next logical step would be to move my business from the advertising based model to affiliate marketing and product creation.

In short, Affiliate Summit 09 will be the answer to this ball and chain that keeps me from going forward. Oh, and, I would get to meet you.

Hi Brian,

I’m the Web Editor for the University of Las Vegas’ student newspaper, the Rebel Yell. We just relaunched our web site, using WordPress and are attempting to take our online presence into a far more integrated multi-purpose resource for UNLV’s students. We’d like to pursue partnerships with local or student bloggers and aggregate useful local news and updates from other sources.

I would love to attend the summit or send our advertising manager so that we can learn about how we might be able to implement this kind of thing and draw more traffic, and possibly increase our strained coffers so that we can expand our operation. We are of course non-profit and very underpaid for the amount of work we all put in, and we’re all students too.

Thanks,
Rob Ponte

As an aspiring and budding Internet Marketer, I would relish the chance to attend my first Affiliate Summit West. The opportunity to learn from and mingle with the top minds in the affiliate marketing world would be invaluable. Have recently attended PubCon, I know the opportunities are endless as long as I continue to put in the hard work that is required.
Most importantly, if I am selected, I will share the email addresses and phone numbers for the VIP hosts at Tryst, Tao, and Pure, which I have managed to garner over the past few trips to Vegas, which we will use to have the greatest party, I mean networking event, of ASW 2009.
