Tax Talk and Crab Fest in Baltimore
Related Readings |
Yesterday, I drove t Baltimore, Maryland to meetup with Shawn Collins, Missy Ward, Buy.at team, and others to join in an Advertising Tax Talk within our industry. It was a crazy 2 hour or so drive but, it was very informative and fun.
I got in early and had lunch with buy.at. It was good food and home brewed beer which was good too. Never really had home made beer, but it was an entertaining flavor. After lunch I toured their office, it was a pretty big office. It is split into sections. The majority of it was advertising.com and there was a small section for buy.at, but they are all a family network.
I also met up with Robert from Contempt.me, since I had about a 4 hour gap from lunch till the Tax talk I decided to drive up and meet up with him. It was great to chat and talk and discuss business.
During the tax talk Shawn and Missy answered question and explained to us what is happening within our industry about the advertising tax, as this affects online business and affiliate marketers. There was a lot of information and a lot of people put in their input and ideas on how they can try to combat the issue.

After the tax talk we all started to grab some food and beer. They had a nice lunch menu, which I have been posting on Twitter. If you are not following me you should cause I am cool. The crowd was a bit older, I met up with Benny as well. So there were 2 young people at the crab fest.
The food was banging, the crab was crazy good, and the atmosphere was definitely enjoyable. The view from the dock area was amazing. Just watching the boats move through was just a nice view. I also metup with Erik from Paradigm and he was there to learn more about the tax stuff and as well drink.
Again thanks to Shawn, Missy Ward, and buy.at in providing an informative session for online businesses.
Video below of me taking the water taxi, touring, the crabfest and a freestyle session. Not sure why the video was encoded so poorly on Youtube. Boo.
What do you mean that the crowd was older??? I resemble that remark
Great seeing you. Catch ya next month at Affiliate Summit!
Damn man, I always miss the good meetup’s around here (Baltimore) – maybe I need to subscribe to AffBuzz (no-brainer)!
Either way, nice video… hope some affiliate networks like Affiliate Summit and some other conferences consider Baltimore next time for their conferences, even if a small one
Great to see you down in B’more – I was one of the young ones there, right?
Yeah home made beer.. interesting. Haha crab is really amazing, actually most seafood is amazing. The battle rap was nice but we didn’t get to see you freestyle .. haha

Damn I would’ve went just for the crab fest. I love that stuff. With or without hot butter it’s damn tasty. Looks like a sweet location.
Great video! Crab in the evening is really cool. Looks like you guys had a blast.
Dang, I don’t know which I love more: shrimp or lobster. Either way I would have love to been at that!

Looks like you enjoy the Baltimore meetup Ian, that was great. Oh, the video seems shaking all the time.
Hey Ian,
What is your reaction re: the tax situation? Have your readers come to your with their concerns or asked for advice? I’m interested to see the backlash…
On a side note, if anyone has been dropped by their affiliates because of your location and sales tax, you should check out RevResponse.com. We don’t charge taxes to our partners because you’re not selling anything just getting paid to give away free business resources.

thanks for the advice Karen , going to look at RevResponse.com now , i’ll let you know how i get on
There is nothing like the crabfest
Eating crabs and talking about taxes must be also very interesting combination 
Ian,
It was a pleasure meeting and having lunch with you at the Tax Talk and Crabs feast. You are very knowledgeable about the Internet Marketing, I am still in the infancy stages. I am going to explore your information in Twitterbank, I can use some extra $$$ to buy diapers. Anyway, we will catch up at ASE in New York next month. All the best bro.

You have insisted on the appropriate issue and Thanks for the links. That is very informative.
Wish I had seen you perform in the battle rap… it would have been interesting. Its always fun watching two people duking it out in a battle rap. The crab looked really good btw… siiick

Taxes and taxation are to be disscussed at the Crab Feast only.Positive emotions absolutely dominate.
Its seems that you enjoy this movement very much. Very nice video.
