Update on our Affiliate adventure
We thought we would just give our readers a quick update on our progress and what we’ve been doing the last few weeks as we didn’t want our readers thinking we’d given up on Affiliate Marketing. We’d not been able to update this Affiliate blog as much as we like because our main focus has been on developing more niche sites and a couple of bigger sites.
Well its been crazy for us the last few weeks, well in fact since the new year we have been on the go every spare hour we can get. Still we are working part time and hoping to achieve our goal by this time next year and be able to afford to live off our Affiliate earnings to cover our current 9-5 salaries. I would say we are just about on target for achieving this goal. We have seen an increase pretty much every month except for february which was slightly down from January, but that was expected with the January sales.
We have probably about 4-5 more niches which we are promoting and trying to get ranking. We have a new deals site we’ve started along with another Affiliate Stuart Smale as we’ve worked with him in the past. The site is starting to take shape and Stuart has done some great coding. We will give out the domain name when its ready and will be looking for feedback. This will be a good expirement as its very competitive and is a big risk. We suspect we’ll need to use PPC initially. We also have a couple of other bigger niche domains which we will build over the next couple of months too.
In addition to building new niches we’ve been trying to plan our day so that we do mainly content and promotion type work during the day time when we can. Obviously this can be tricky with normal work to do so that we don’t lose our existing jobs. Then in the evenings we do design of the sites and get the new niche sites developed and hopefully looking good. This will also involve getting the data-feeds working using PHP and MYSQL.
Anyway not much juicy stuff to report right now, will try and keep it updated with more juicy stuff in the next coming weeks.
Digital Window acquire Perfiliate Ltd and other affiliate news
News has come in that Digital Window has acquired Perfiliate Ltd, based in Newcastle. Perfiliate Ltd operate one of the leading networks called Buy.at and by bringing this on board Digital Window now form Britain’s largest performance based marketing group.
We are excited by this news as we use both these networks and have a good relationship with both. We will be interested to see what happens especially with Affiliate Window’s use of the Darwin profile and Shopwindow.
In other news for us we hainve had a solid February and although not quite as good as January was still our 2nd best month ever despite being shorter than Jan. We now have more sites earning which is great and we are busy improving these sites and getting them ranking. We have a couple of big projects on the go as well which are taking off so we hope for good things from them.
