Our next #AWeberHour Twitter chat is right around the corner.

As I mentioned previously, we’ve got a fantastic lineup of speakers at our upcoming ASCEND Digital Marketing Summit in October.

To introduce you to these incredible speakers, we’ve organized three special edition #AWeberHour Twitter chats. We’ve already knocked out two amazing chats (Conversion Optimization and Content Marketing).

Next up, on Wednesday, August 20, from 2-3 p.m. ET, you’ll hear from five affiliate marketing experts who will be sharing best practices on affiliate marketing.

You’ll walk away with ideas on how to do affiliate marketing the right way.
