California hearing for AB 178 has been postponed. Although it sounds a very Good News, who knows what it will bring us in the near future. This bill is expected to be taken from the shelf within a few months time again with the efforts to raise funds for 2010 budget.
No time to stop or take a sigh relief. Instead, we have to work hard to keep it together and even stronger than ever before. I always would like to see the good side of any angle. The tax issue is binding Performance Marketing Industry so tight now we Now we can clearly see who we are. It is like finding your own personality at your adolescence age after running several crisis which builds up you as who you are.
In reality we are growing a strong economic power that many states would like to interrupt or even block our progressive steps and see Performance Marketing units as “Cash Cows”.
We have to prove them wrong. We have to show them how organized we are and how technologically and creatively we are challenging the tax attacks.
We have to show them how Performance Marketing becomes matured up after those attacks. We are not blind or deaf anymore. We are getting to know each other personally, contacting via facebook, twitter, linkedin and other social media means. Many of us are blogging and twittering regularly to keep this spirit fresh.
I am so proud of being a member of Performance Marketing and act along side with all of the affiliates, merchants, affiliate networks and vendors.
So let’s become united.
Let’s become members of PMA (Performance marketing Alliance) to have a much louder voice and act organically to fight against any obstacles and to raise the standards of our industry.
Let’s use the Affiliate Tax Issue to our advantage to unite.
Only we can make this industry credible and respectable one. Wouldn’t it be nice to tell our adventurous story to our grandsons and granddaughters and say we did it? Don’t forget that we are the ones who are shaping this industry and next generations will carry out to other levels. So exciting!
What are you waiting for? Please join PMA before June 1, 2009 and become a Founding Charter Member!
I will be so happy to see you there:)
