Top Affiliate Challenge Official Blog The Web’s First Real-Time Affiliate Marketing Reality Show

That’s right folks!  The Top Affiliate Challenge cameras are hitting the road again looking for your auditions!

These live audition evens are perfect for people who want to get a jump on the competition, don’t have access to camera equipment, or just don’t have time to edit and produce a video.

This audition event is VERY unique :-)  Next Wednesday the  27th we will be at the studios of 104.1 The Blaze at 3800 Cornhusker Highway in Lincoln, NE from 7:00-9:00 AM.  This will be the LAST live audition event before the web auditions open up on March 1st.

For those of you who are planning to send in your own audition video from anywhere in the world, this live event holds something for you as well.  The Blaze is going to stream the auditions LIVE with video and audio on their website at http://www.kibz.com.  Some of the auditions will also be aired live on the air from the studio.

A lot of you have been asking us for audition tips, and we have a post coming up tomorrow with some pointers for you.  In teh mean time though, here are some things you should consider hen you come out to live audition events.

1. The producers are not selecting who gets on the show - the VOTERS are.  So consider what you look like when you come out to audition.  Your goal is not to impress us, but to impress the people watching your audition video.
2. Dress to get the attention of viewers.  If you want people to actually watch your audition video and vote it a”10″ then you need to capture their attention.  Anything goes in your audition video as long as it is classified as PG-13.
3. Ask the viewer to vote for you.  I can’t tell you how many awesome live auditions we have taped here the person in front of the camera does not ASK the viewer to specifically vote them a 10.  You have about 2-3 seconds to capture a viewer’s attention with an online video.  Unless you have something REALLY compelling to look at, you better ask for the vote up front.
4. Remember that you can submit multiple audition videos.  We will collect information from you at the event that will be used to create a Top Affiliate Challenge account for you on our website.  By logging into your account you can upload as many audition videos as you would like and switch between the ones you have uploaded at will.

There you have it!  I know a lot of you are planning on submitting videos in March, so this is your chance to see what kind of questions we ask in a live event, how people answer, and how you can tweak your audition so it stands out right from the beginning.

Be sure to check out http://www.kibz.com between 7 and 9 in the morning (CST) on February 27th to watch the action live, and if you are in the area, we look forward to seeing you at 3300 Cornhusker Highway in Lincoln, NE then!
