Sneak Peak of the Clickbooth Office: Old and New

Ian — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:49:58 +0000

Before affiliate summit west 2010, I took a mini vacation to Orlando. It was my little nephew’s bday and I decided to just go visit him. Plus it was too cold in NJ that i needed some sun in my life. Well I traveled to Orlando and found out it was cold there too! But after 2 days it started to warm up.

I hanged out with my cousin and my little cousin while I was there. Definitely love my family. I enjoyed just relaxing and chillin with them. I did take one day out of the week to visit a network, Clickbooth.

I drove up 2 hours to Sarasota, FL to take a look at their office. I met up with Eric Schecter and he started to show me around. I first wanted to say what up to my AM, Brittany but her boyfriend was there and he insisted I take a pic with him…

A Quick 24 Hours with Elite Clicks Media

Ian — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:11:07 +0000

Late last week I was in Florida to get away from this grazzy Jersey weather. Ryan from Elite Clicks Media has gotten in contact with me at Ad-Tech NY and followed up with me after. He mentioned he wanted to get me out to Florida to meetup with his team and his new partner, Kevin Harrington.

It was very last minute when it was planned, but I manage to fly out and meetup with Ryan and Greg at the Hilton. After a quick 2.5 hour flight from Jersey to Florida, we all went out. I left Jersey at 8pm and arrived in Florida a little after 10pm.

Once at the Hilton I got comfortable and Ryan told me we are going to go out. So I prep up and got ready to head out with Ryan. We went out to a lounge and met up with Greg.

Thank You from Ian Fernando

This post is just a thank you post to several people and networks at Ad Tech that I met up. Usually I wrap up conferences or trade shows with 1 post. But there was a lot going on and I wanted to make sure I pointed out to certain people and networks instead of just a big post.

Thanks goes out to…

The Art of Bum Marketing, Cali Style

Ian — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:06:03 +0000

…I want to share with you my overall trip to Cali when I got there.

I arrived in Cali a couple days before Share a Sale Think Tank 09. I decided to hangout in San Diego and enjoy the sun for a couple days. I got a beach house for just the 3 days I was there and it literally was on the beach. It was amazing. The view of the beach and the sound of waves was amazing.

I would wake up and just walk down the boardwalk and have some banging breakfast at the Wave House. The wave house is really cool because its one of those auto wave machines, def wanted to try that out but there was a waiting list on it and didn’t want to wait till later in the day.

I met up with the owners of Ionizer Oasis and chilled with them for the days I was there. We played basketball and I obviously took over – well maybe after 2 games. There was too many sun. I was burning. The thing also was wow, women are beautiful there.

It is always great to give back to the community if it is information on how to grow your business, giving a 5 dollar tip to the person that pumps your gas, or if you want to donate to a charity of your choice.

Baseball Outing with Media Whiz Network

Ian — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:43:21 +0000

Yesterday I was out all day and it was a fun and entertaining day. Also it was my first time at baseball game. Let me tell you it was interesting. So early morning I got ready to head out to NY, where their office is located. It was fairly easy to find, the traffic in the morning was a monster.

Finally got in the city. Since I didn’t have any breakfast, I decided to stop in McDonald and have some bacon, egg and cheese on a biscuit. I relaxed for a bit because I was pretty early I think. After a bit I walked to their office and found it pretty easy. A couple blocks down from the bull in NY and I was there.

I got up to the 23rd floor of their building and took a snap shot of their Media Whiz logo. I finally met up with Ian Lerner, my AM from Media Whiz.

Convert2Media is Gangsterlicious!

Ian — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:19:42 +0000

While I was in Florida, I had the opportunity to meetup with several affiliate networks, one being Convert2Media. If you know who Ralph Ruckman or Ruck, then you know he has a killer network called Convert2Media. Him and his team have exploded in the affiliate marketing industry by helping many affiliates make money online via their forum, Ruck’s blog posts, and from the past via WickedFire and Ruck’s prior blog CashTactics.

They have provided a lot to the industry helping and quickly responding to affiliate needs. They have done a lot of big changes to their network base on the industry and what is best for them and their affiliates.

Back from Florida, Search Engine Strategies Tomorrow!

Ian — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 22:33:01 +0000

I arrived from Florida early this morning, like 9:30am! I had about 3 hours of sleep because ended up going out to drink for a couple hours then headed out to the airport at 4:45am! Damn! Well Florida was great and amazing, the only reason why I went down to Florida was because Jersey is getting cold. Also after 2 weeks in Africa: Morocco and coming back to cold, argh.

I was getting comfortable with warm weather, I mean it snowed 2 days after I came back to Jersey. So I decided to go to Florida to visit my cousins and 2 of my business partners. Florida was great I stayed in Orlando for a couple days and met up with blog readers, networks, affiliates, and family. I hanged with my cousin in Orlando and chilled with my nephew.

One day my business partner, Digga came up and got me to take me to go to Daytona Beach for spring break, below is a snapshot of the beach view from our hotel.

Meet My New NetBook: HP Mini 1030NR

Ian — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 22:10:38 +0000

Last week, I asked a question on twitter if anyone use a netbook. So from he users that voted, it was basically between the line. But I got some responses from other people about the netbooks they use and what they like. Shawn Collins responded saying he enjoys his Dell 9 and recently wrote a post on how netbooks arevery popular these days.

I personally went to Best Buy and started to look at the netbooks there. They had a variation that I took a pic with my camera and ask the twitterverse for some help. A lot of the netbooks were small and it seemed hard to type. I literally lifted my hands and started to type as if I was writing a blog post or content. Some of them were really hard to get use to.

I finally found my netbook:

Back in Jersey and Back to Work!!

Ian — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:10:29 +0000

I returned from Morocco and definitely going to miss it! I met a lot of new people there and just the weather alone. The weather there I was great nice ass clear skies with a bright sun. Well anyways, I did a lot of things while on vacation. I chilled went clubbing every other night, bought some souvenirs (not those traditional souvenirs) – glasses and clothing.

Well, since I am back I have been catching up on email that I haven’t answered and starred while I was away and I have been reading my rss readers for a bit this morning. I have a bunch of reading to do and email answering to do. I also have a lot of work to do in the next couple days, campaigns catch up with partners, networks, programmers just a lot of things. I might be doing a bunch of outcoursing today just because of the work load.
