Great program. By the way, also, that was my previous company in life at Lead Dino where we did the affiliate tracking and we tried to get as many people over your way to sign up for your program. We would have folks sign up for the software e-commerce companies, Hey, I want to launch this big affiliate program and take over the world. Can you do it all for me? No, we can’t. We can provide you with the tool and let’s get you over to Dustin so he can sort of teach you the methodology and even if they don’t carry it out, hopefully they can hire someone to do that. Let’s talk about affiliate Nerd. This is your podcast and this is your new brand. How did you go from a broke poker player to coming up with the affiliate nerd brand and term?
Dustin:
but I’ve made a lot of friends in this industry over the last 13 years and one day I decided I need new content for my website. What’s a good way to go about this? Well, I do like jumping on the phone and talking to people. Why don’t I just make some kind of live video podcast out of this? And affiliate is something I’m super passionate about, and my sisters growing up, they were nerds, they were valedictorians and super book smart and they called other people nerds and it was a rite of passage and a badge of honor, and I felt like the word nerd actually applies to me because that’s exactly what I am today with affiliate marketing. And so I started inviting other nerds in the industry to come and talk and we’ve made a good show out of it. It runs 30 to 45 minutes. We just talk about affiliate stuff that they’re super important. And the greatest part is I get to pick the brains of some of the smartest people in this industry and make good content out of it. So I’m really proud of what I’m doing there
Brett:
Did the statistics aspect of the affiliate world that bulgaria telegram screening bring in, I can picture your sisters sort of dominating their schoolwork while you’re over in your room. You’ve got the Bill James Saber Metrics and while you’re supposed to be studying, I’m sure you’re looking at the back of the baseball cards and figure out the advanced metrics there. The advanced stats fast forward to broke Dustin, and you’ve got the same type of metrics with the affiliate world, right? It’s all based on these click-throughs, this, that, right? There’s a million different stats. How did that then appeal to you as a original baseball nerd who evolved into this affiliate marketing guy?
