Think the affiliate bug is catching – wife develops high tops site
At Christmas my wife gave up her job working for what was minimum wage in an effort to have a crack at this affiliate marketing lark that I keep banging on about. With the opportunities that are out there we thought it was worth her having a go as if she can replace her income and work the hours she needs to with the added bonus of still being able to pick the kids up from school and have school holidays then we thought it was worth the temporary drop in income while she gets up to speed. Well I have to day I am very proud of the huge effort she has put in. She now created her own websites, can add product feeds and has set herself up a nice portfolio of sites that are both interesting to her and have the potential to earn. The recent addition to the portfolio is her high tops site. I think this site looks great already and she is busy adding more and more content to make it a true resource for those looking for high tops online. Being an avid summer wearer of Converse high tops myself she already has her first customer.
Nintendo 3DS
Long time since I’ve posted as been pretty hectic with affiliate stuff and living life. Enjoying it though! I’ve been looking at the new Nintendo 3Ds and it’s options and man it looks to have some great options. My kids all got DSi’s for Christmas and like most parents when the kids are in bed I have a go and have been very impressed. I only have a go to free up some of the options for them so they can get further in the games you understand, yeah right! Looking at the new Nintendo 3Ds it will bring even more functionality to the handheld console market and these gizmo’s aren’t just gaming machines anymore. As well as 3D gaming it will offer a 3D camera, internet capability and other goodies. If you are looking for one then make sure you have a look at the Nintendo 3Ds specs and check out the best price here as well. If you get one let us know what you think.
Quick Update from Affiliate Project
2011 is full steam ahead with the team at Affiliate Project. We have been busy on various projects still trying to fit this all around our current work/family commitments so its still going to take a bit longer than it would be if we had full time resources but we’re doing well considering.
The month of January was a very good month on the earnings front for us and we had our 2nd highest month yet. Baring at mind some of our bigger sites http://www.slashprices.co.uk is taking a bit longer to rank as its not a keyword domain, but we are getting a lot more traffic and now we’re seeing more sales from the long-tail traffic which is great. We just need to continue the hard work and push along to compete with all the other Voucher Code Sites out there. We have been doing a few external articles like Great Discounts at Comet to see how this is improving things as well as regular link building, changing site structures to bring in more internal link juice and more promotional work like Social Marketing too. Its all very interesting and we’re steadily building up our business.
We’ve also been getting involved in buying up keyword domains which are expiring so that has been interesting too.
Who said Affiliate Marketing was easy, hey but its fun with lots of challenges.
I also had my 1-1 at work today and they asked me what I find interesting about my day Job. Well I was stumped to find an answer. Where as ask me the same question about this Affiliate stuff, he might not have got out the meeting room until the next day.
Also Paul and I are keen to find out when the Next Affiliate Meet-up is going to be, its usually about this time of the year up in London, with the usual free bar to meet like minded folk and talk shop. Keep us informed if anyone knows.
