Last week I offered a complimentary gold pass to Affiliate Summit to NPT readers (hey! it literally pays to read my blog and newsletter!) who clicked the “Like” button on my Facebook page and today is the day that I announce the winner.

But before I do so, I have a couple of things to share…

I’ll be running another Affiliate Summit Gold Pass opportunity this week just for Rosalind Gardner’s Academy members.

Too, here’s a little more information about the Affiliate Summit conference:

Early bird pricing for Affiliate Summit West 2011, taking place January 9-11, 2011 in Las Vegas, ends October 15, 2010.

The keynote speakers will be Drew Eric Whitman and Brian Solis.

The Early Bird registration rates for the Silver Pass ($99), Gold Pass ($279), Platinum Pass ($879), and Diamond Pass ($1,879) are going up after October 15, 2010.

Starting October 16, the rates to register for Affiliate Summit will be Silver Pass ($249), Gold Pass ($549), Platinum Pass ($1,249), and Diamond Pass ($2,249).

So, if you are planning to go… you have just a few more days to enjoy some great savings on those passes.

YES, I’ll be there – wouldn’t miss it! I will be presenting at the Ask the Experts session on Monday January 10th and I really hope to see you there.

Now back to our contest winnner…

ShareResults has launched a contest where members of the affiliate marketing community can win a Silver pass to Affiliate Summit East 2010, occurring August 15-17 in New York City.

There are a couple of ways for you to enter the contest.

The first goes out to everyone in the industry who likes to get creative. We want you to tell us why YOU love affiliate marketing. You can blog it, sing it, video it—heck, write a poem about it, or draw a picture with a snappy headline. As long as your entry is creative, we want it! Send us your entry, and we’ll post in on our blog.

We will be awarding two people in this category with Silver passes, valued at $99 each. The two winners will be selected by our team of judges, based on popular vote and creativity.

The second way to get involved in our Affiliate Summit East 2010 give-away contest is by posting our Share Results Contest badge on your website. This option is available to all affiliates in our network who can grab the badge by signing up to the Share Results referral program, where the badge is conveniently located under the Creative menu.

The contest will be running from April 1 to June 30, 2010, and the three winners will be announced in July.

To learn more, read the “Win a Silver Pass to the Hottest Affiliate Marketing Event, Coming Up in NYC: Affiliate Summit East 2010” post on the ShareResults blog.

Brian Gardner, developer of the Revolution themes for WordPress is holding a contest for his affiliates in March.

If you’re not familiar with Brian’s work, I run his Revolution News theme on my travel blog and it was the theme chosen for a blog coaching club that we’re doing now.

Other themes include the original Revolution, as well as Revolution Pro Business, Magazine, Tech and Sports. Most of the themes sell for between $79.95 for a single user licence and $199.95 for a developer’s license and affiliates earn 25%.

The most expensive product he sells is the Revolution All-Inclusive Developer Package for $399.95. It is for webmasters who want to create sites using any of Brians 6 Revolution themes. You will also receive any future Revolution themes as well. With the purchase of this package, you can use any of the themes as many times as you wish.

The March Revolution Affiliate Contest has some pretty nifty prizes including:

1. A 4-night Bahama cruise for two plus $500 cash
2. Samsung 19″ Flat-Panel HDTV, Revolution All-Inclusive Package or $500 cash
3. $250 cash or a Gift Certificate to your favorite online retailer

The contest began on March 1st and goes until midnight on March 31st. To qualify you must
be one of the top 3 sales generating Revolution affiliates during that timeframe and link to contest details from your blog — which, take note, is a very smart traffic generation strategy on Brian’s part!

Here’s your chance to win a copy of the Internet Marketing Center’s “The Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet – Version 2007” ($197 value). The course contains TWO 8″ x 11″ full-color three ring binders containing 800+ pages, broken down into 64 easy-to-follow lessons about everything from traffic generation, email marketing and Google Adsense.

This is the course that every new Internet marketer should have in their office… regardless of whether you plan to become an affiliate, merchant or online auction seller.

So… to put it on YOUR desk… we’re gonna have some fun with lightbulb jokes.

And just in case you’ve never heard a lightbulb joke, they go like this:

• How many bureaucrats does it take to screw in a lightbulb ?
  Two. One to screw it in and one to screw it up.
• How many cops does it take to screw n a lightbulb ?
  None. It turned itself in.
• How many Psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb ?
  Just one. But the bulb has to really WANT to change.

So, let’s get started…

In the comments section below, post your answer to the question:

“How many Internet Marketers does it take to screw in a lightbulb ?”

Please note…

• ONE entry/joke per comment only, please… In the event that multiple jokes are posted in a comment, the comment will be moderated so that only the first will show up.
• If two identical comments are posted for the winning entry, the first commenter will be deemed the winner.
• Contest entry must be made on or before December 15th, 2007.
• The winner will be announced on December 16th, 2007.

Have FUN!!
