WHAT THE AFF… is going on in Bangkok?
Affiliate World Asia 2018, at least rumour has it...
I have to say AWA is still my favourite conference of the year. Barcelona was very nice but it’s just something about the warm weather in European winter and the buzz that is in a crowded city like Bangkok…
I’ve always had some big breakthrough at that conference too, so maybe that’s why it can’t be topped for me…
In 2015, it was the first ever affiliate event I attended.
In 2016, it was the first time ever I stepped on any stage.
In 2017, it was the first time ever I moderated a panel.
2018 is no different.
You might know that since the end of April this year, I’ve built up this little industry newsletter called WHAT THE AFF. If you didn’t know you can check my signature below.
- or this early follow-along: https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...For-Affiliates
And the breakthrough of this year’s AWA is that we’re gonna be the WiFi sponsor. Yup, the most basic of a marketer’s needs is gonna be on us.
That means we’ll have a booth there, so you can stop by and say “Hi!” to The WTAFF Crew, give us your feedback on the newsletter, or just get to know us a bit better - because we definitely want to know you better too! It’s why we write these newsletters every workday!
Our booth number will be A65 - but if you’re bad with numbers, take a left as you enter the market and look for the guy below:

A bumpy road from a first-time attendee to a sponsor...
And a little confession here at the end:
We’re obviously not doing this just for the fun of it. We want to make sure everyone in the industry hears about us and that many will join our 3,000+ happy readers!
If you haven’t already, have a look at what we do. We only ask for your email and we don’t stalk you on the Interwebz - we just send you relevant news, trends, tech and actionable advice to your inbox, for free.
No upsells, we don’t add you to custom or lookalike audiences, no remarketing all over Facebook. The only way we make money is by having ONE relevant sponsor per email. And it’s always clearly disclosed, no hidden money-making links!
Plus, at the end of the day, if you don’t want us in your inbox anymore, you can unsubscribe anytime!
See you all in Bangkok!
Good stuff Manu, congrats and may you add a few more zeroes to that reader list! I'll be dropping by your booth for sure.
Thanks!
Haha, let's see if we add zeroes, haha. Probably not in a few months but over a longer period, maybe!
Awesome, I'll definitely pop by too!
Is that image supposed to be you?
Great stuff Manu! You've come a long way with the newsletter, I'm sure there is plenty of room to grow 
BTW, if anyone wants to read more about how this all started, I made an interview with Manu couple weeks ago, check it out : http://www.matuloo.com/meet-manu-cin...e-is-it-going/
Congrats on WHAT THE AFF dude! And good luck
For anyone who isn't on the list, highly recommended. The newsletter is some top-quality content and will keep you updated with all the happenings in the IM world.
See you in BKK. 
Thanks for the kind words @matuloo and @adig13.
See you guys in Bangkok!
Leveling up, love it!
Cannot wait to see where you bring this project!
Haha yup will remember to come by to say hi!
Be prepared to be stuck at the booth for prolonged periods from so many people coming by to do the same.

You the man, Manu! Love the ideas you expressed to me and can't wait to see them roll out in the future - Quality content mate
