Tribute to Steve Jobs Pumpkin

2011 October 28 | admin

We love to decorate for Halloween at Micro Media Marketing. We set the office up with spider webs, candy and dress up as well. One thing that we spend more time on is carving our pumpkin. Last year we had an emoticon pumpkin but this year we wanted to geek things up a little better.

This Year, we decided to pay tribute to Steve Jobs on our Facebook page and create an apple pumpkin with him in it. 

Want to pay tribute to Steve Jobs by carving a cool pumpkin of your own? Many people on Facebook were sharing our picture and asking how we carved the pumpkin. So we decided to share how we did it with our friends and fans. There is still time to go get a pumpkin and carve it for Halloween and carving your Steve Jobs Pumpkin only takes about an hour.

Items Needed:

1. A Big Round Pumpkin

2. A Carving Tool and a Scooping Utensil like a big spoon or even ice cream scooper

3. A Print Out of the Image

4. A Pair of Scissors

5. A Pen or Sharpie to Outline the Image

6. Tea light candle and a lighter

7. Camera or use your iPhone or iPad to take the pic!

Directions:

Just clean your pumpkin, and print out your image to the size that best fits the pumpkin. Carve an opening at the top of your pumpkin and empty out the inside of the pumpkin with your scooping utensil until it is hollow. Get your scissors and cut around the apple image and cleanly around the silhouette of Steve Jobs. Then grab your pen and trace the apple and silhouette be sure to make a space around the glasses for extra accuracy. Then begin carving the leaf and apple out and leave the detailing of the silhouette for the last part. Take a smaller carving tool for the details. Insert your tea light candle, light it, and take a picture to share on your blog or social networks. 

Show your friends that you are a true apple fanboy/girl and tweet with the hashtag #beamac #geekout or any fun hashtags you can think of. When you post a pic online be sure to share it with us @micromediamktg or on Facebook.com/MicroMediaMarketing

Shine on – Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Affiliate Summit East Recap

2011 August 26 | admin

Here is a recap of Affiliate Summit East. 

On Saturday night the events kicked off with the buy.at pre-Affiliate Summit Party. This event was benefiting Affiliate Marketers Give Back. If you wore pink they donated money to breast cancer. It was an awesome party and buy.at went all out with signature cocktails and all. Thank you to Amy Ely for always getting everyone together and working hard.

On Sunday I checked out the Meet Market to take pictures of cool companies and friends. The meet market is always a little more laid back than the exhibit hall. It was a good chance to talk to people and network.

Shortly after the meet market closed I headed to the newcomer meetup. My newcomers were having a great time taking all the information in. I introduced them to some people and potential events to attend and was on my way to dinner with Joshua Ziering. After dinner we headed to the ShareASale Barn Dance where I walked in, found the mechanical bull, rode the mechanical bull and went to bed. What else is there to do at a barn dance?

View the full album from Affiliate Summit Day 1 Photos on Facebook.

Monday morning I was well rested and ready for the real hustle and bustle of the show. The day when the exhibit hall opened. I went to see the keynote Wil Reynolds speak about SEO and he threw in some social too. Then I had a couple meetings in the blogger lounge with Erik Hom on his birthday and others. I also presented eAccountableOPM's case study to his clients attending the show. That was a great lunch with lots to talk about and very productive. The case study will be posted up soon. 

After meetings I headed over to the PMA venue where I helped setup for the party. We had a great turnout and the rooftop we used provided by Peter Bordes was amazing. Everyone wanted to be on the rooftop and we had a wonderful time networking. A big thanks to Peter for letting us host the party at his venue.

View the full album from the PMA Rooftop Event on Facebook.

Affiliate Karaoke. That is all I have to say there are pictures and videos that only give you an idea of the kind of fun we had. I would say the best fun of the conference for old timers that know how to have a good time. I hope they bring it back at the next conference.

We stopped by the GAN party just in time to say hello to a few people and then the lights turned on when it struck midnight. Their venue was really cool. 

View the full album from Affiliate Summit Day 2 Photos on Facebook.

Tuesday morning was the time of my session Social Media in Niche Markets. That went well we had a good attendance and good vibe going. We had time for some Q & A at the end but missed some slides. That is why we will post them up online so that people can review some of the last slides. The last slides had most to do with how to plan your daily strategy around blog content. I want to thank Joe Sousa and Scott Jangro for being awesome panelists to speak with.

Then I headed over to some final meetings with Shareist. Then to the closing remarks where Brian Littleton and Carolyn Kmet had a nice back and forth. The panelists discussed the importance of getting involved with the affiliate nexus tax in all states, mobile, daily deals, apps, and more. 

The last part of the day involved heading to the Yankee Game to the box seats that Shawn and Missy setup for us. I have to say after being treated like that I am spoiled. We had our own Yankee hotdog machine and it was delicious. 

The night ended with some piano time and of course Halal street meet.

View the full album from Affiliate Summit Day 3 Photos on Facebook.

For those of you that have not attended an Affiliate Summit it is jam packed with events, sessions, energy, and a place to make lasting connections with some fun smart entrepreneurs. I would definitely recommend being at the next one in Vegas taking place in January.
