Tomorrow Night I Am Going to the Playboy Mansion
Ha Ha! I honestly can’t believe I am saying that. I grew up in the 70’s reading playboy as a kid. In fact as soon as I could read, I was reading it! Before Maxim, and all these other mags, and even before sports illustrated’s swim suit edition, there was Playboy. I even read it for the articles, and as a kid just adored the cartoons!
It was marketing genius.
I think of myself as being fairly enlightened, and yet I am still a sucker for a pretty girl. Pretty much still just stops me in my tracks. You want to brand yourself? What if you could create a brand that would forever be associated with georgeous, yet classy girls? That is what Playboy did.
I have begun to have fun with affiliate marketing lately, thanks to my good friends running these cool companies. It is the funnest of all of the internet worlds I have dropped into so far. It is a fun world because they are not afraid to be exactly who they are, a bunch of guys purely interested in making money and having fun. O.K., so some of them exagerate how much money they make in affiliate marketing, but I do know there are some big bucks rolling around in this area, and plenty of guys making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in profit, who never did a day of college.
I’ve learned you can lose a nice bucket of money really quickly in affiliate marketing also. It is not for the weak of stomach, that is for sure.
But the real deal companies are rolling through hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
Azoogle is unquestionably a huge mega force in this area.
So tomorrow I get to go feed the bunnies!
This should be absolutely fantastic, hilarious, and a photo opportunity like no other!
The perks that go along with being involved in the internet business world just rock!
Michael Sprouse (Azoogle Marketing Director) rocks for putting this together.
By the way, in addition to the trip to the Mansion, Michael is putting us all up at the W hotel with pool parties, brunches and the whole works.
It is probably worth running some Azzogle ads if you are not already, just for the parties 😉
And I will See You at the Mansion!
Man, that will be awesome.Looking forward to seeing and hearing about that adventure.
ReplyLOL. I grew up in the 70’s too. My first Playboy experience was when I was 5 along with my friend who used to sneak on his Dads drawer to get those Mags. The cartoons are pretty cool, to be honest, I think those cartoons inspired me to be a cartoonist myself. It was last year when the first ever Playboy Philippines was published. And Man! That was pretty awesome. I had always dreamed of having the chance to go the Playboy Mansion. Cheers to you Doc! Don’t feed the Bunnies too much. 🙂

ReplyAl, I can’t think of anyone who would be more fun to show up there with than you! As I was writing it, I saw your tweet about trying to figure out how to make your limo ride a business expense!
@Jonathan Antonio:
ReplyYeh, I think my tastes in cartoons are a weird mix of Playboy cartoons and Warner Brothers. Last month Fajar was making a comment about me and my life, and he made a brilliant observation. Everything in my life is the cartoon version. thinktank is the cartoon version of conferences, my laugh is the cartoon version of a laugh and on and on…
wow. what a party. what a place. what great people.

ReplyI wish you could go Berny! I know you would have fun!
It sounds like you are going to have a great experience and time there DK. Maybe you should consider having Thinktank at the mansion in the future year…:)
Reply@Fajar:
ReplyI can see it now!
Make sure you don’t wear a silk robe to the party, I think only one guy gets to wear that at the mansion
ReplyAlthough affiliate marketing can be fun and interesting, my guess is the party will entertain you a lot more…
ReplyHaha, nice innocent picture of baby bunnies to throw everyone off. I bet this night was one of debauchery for sure. I wonder if Hugh Hefner was there to party too, or if he was sleeping like the old guy he is. As for affiliate marketing… really? No college education and these guys are millionaires. Wow. I think I will start learning about that now.
