Apogee's Influencer Manager, Christen Evans, gave the participants on the call an explanation of the ShareASale affiliate tools. These tools, powered by the merchants' datafeeds, give affiliates the ability to easily bring products into their sites. Christen did a fantastic job teaching us how to use the Make-A-Page tool, the Product Showcase and the Product Discovery Bookmarklet.

Last week, Christen Evans and I attended the ShareASale/Awin ThinkTank in Chicago. It was the first co-branded conference for both networks and we loved it.

The Apogee team went back to basics this week on our video conversation with affiliates. We covered five introductory areas of affiliate marketing education and had a packed house on Apogee Live. The majority of the conversation on Zoom was a screen share from the ShareASale affiliate interface. 

This time on Apogee Live, Christen and Daniel lead a discussion about #ASW18. It's our Affiliate Summit West 2018 recap! Our panel covered what they liked about the show, what they got out of the event, and lots more.

As affiliates start to finalize their Q4 plans, we wanted to make sure we highlighted our best converting holiday merchants. We didn't waste any time and jumped right into the screen sharing of our client's websites, talking about best sellers.

Apogee Live returned from summer break with a great conversation with Brian Littleton, CEO of the ShareASale affiliate network. And he sings!

Apogee Live will be back in two weeks. Our last video conference call with affiliates was on June 9th and after a summer break we're rarin' to go! Our special guest on the September 13th Apogee Live call will be ShareASale CEO Brian Littleton.

The discussion was Finding the Right Merchants on Apogee Live this week, as Greg walked us through his method of window shopping affiliate programs from an affiliate's perspective. What should an affiliate look for in a merchant partner? What are the red flags? We looked at programs in the ShareASale network.

Our last three blog posts have been about our ongoing series of video conference calls with affiliates and merchants. Here's another one. On June 7th, we are hosting our first open, public conference call. Our theme is Finding the Right Merchants. We are going to be talking with affiliates and interested bloggers about window shopping for new programs to promote.
