I didn’t get a chance to write last week’s usual newsletter because I spent much of that time at my publisher’s HQ in Toronto, got to meet a few Sharing Opps subscribers in person (omg! so fun!), see old media industry friends and wander around Bathurst and Yorkville in search of snacks (also, now I’m hooked on all-dressed chips, where can I can ‘em in the US?).
Anywho, back to lots of content (not that I ever stopped!) + some exciting news about referrals + a combined newsletter for the Affiliate Tribe folks.
Pretty office, eh?
What I’m working on now/need pitches:
TodaysParent.com: Game-changing Amazon Prime Day deals for parents and kids (think at least 30% off and top-selling baby/kid/parenting items).

This week’s Affiliate Tribe/subscriber only-newsletter:
You probably already know that Prime Day is slated for July 11 and 12 (just a couple of weeks away) and that loads of major publishers are gearing up seems like loads of Amazon-related content. Your instincts are right, and if you joined my last AMA—you understand why.
I want to recap some important things to note here so you can make the most of this + score major shopping content opps for non-Amazon brands as well.
