Next Media – Monetizing Digital Media

Here are two presentations I liked best at Next Media – Monetizing Digital Media conference -= Shelly Palmer’s “Will ‘free’ save the future?” and Marina Mann’s talk on affiliate marketing. I also tremendously liked Ilona Posner’s workshop on usability. It was fun!

You can find notes for other presentations in David Peralty’s blog.

Read on for notes on Shelly Palmer’s and Marina Mann’s presentations.

Next Media – Monetizing Digital Media conference

I’ll be volunteering at Next Media – Monetizing Digital Media conference at CIRCA next week. The schedule looks promising. If you are there, drop by to say hello.

(Also there are Fastlane event and Toronto Wiki Tuesday on Tuesday Nov. 11th, and I am finishing the translation of Irvin Yalom’s “Momma and the Meaning of Life” into Russian – still 90 pages left and I must finish by about Nov. 15th so we have some time for editing before the deadline which is on the 25th… Also, I am still unable to figure out why most networking events in this city are scheduled for Tuesdays. Has anybody found a way to be in two places at once? Is it possible that there are several separate crowds and each one goes to its own set of events? Somehow I don’t think so.)
