Today we have a special show where we are holding a simulcast with James Schramko. We have learned so much from James over the years and we also have a similar business model. He’s also got some deep relationships with his community and our affiliate business model is similar in that we prefer to build long term relationships when promoting affiliate offers.  

We reminisce about the first marketing events we all attended, even while still working at a job. James also tells us what is working best with his partnerships, revenue share deals, and some simple tips that lead to great customer satisfaction and retention over the years. He’s also got some great stories of both successes and failures that you can learn from. When you have finished, be sure to check out our previous conversations with James and Stephen Esketzis that we mentioned on the show.
