Just a quick update, its been a while since I posted on the blog, theres no major reason why i’ve not posted but the usual one of me being busy is one of them. I’m aiming to post a lot more next week (fingers crossed).
A few things
- I’m potentially looking to do some partnerships with some other affiliates. So if your interested, maybe have an idea and want to do it in a partnership get in touch with me.
- Google Adwords new url policy comes into action next month, Not allowing direct ppc to merchants I believe
- Finally, Sunshine.co.uk are running an amazing competition to win a Apple Macbook Air … now these things are amazing. Whats more to enter all you have to do is put a link on a website for them. Only 150 entries so far so the odds are amazing, You can sign up to them through Affiliate Future.

Just thought I’d direct you all to an interview with me that Kirsty did. She’s doing three interviews this week named “Meet the Real Affiliates” basically interviews with affiliates who aren’t the super affiliates that interviews normally take place with.
Today’s interview with me can be found here, and the interview with Ray can be found here.
Check out her blog it’s a great read, and has loads of useful tips. AffiliateStuff.co.uk

The Sound Asleep Pillow Something that looks very interesting and could work/help me fall asleep. I do find it hard sometimes to fall asleep at night, things running through my mind, new ideas, changes I could be making.
The sound asleep pillow may be the answer, it plays music through the pillow so you don’t have to have earphones on, I was thinking it might be perfect to listen to a blog post from fraser

Making money offline using the below method can be easy… but might not be good in the long term
A week ago (sunday night) I as a student went to something called Carnage. Basically claims to be biggest student bar crawl in the UK. It costs £10 and for that you get a Tshirt and entry into Manchester’s M2 Night Club. Basically it involves a bar crawl to 5 big bars then to the club at the end of the night.
Now Carnage sold around 2200+ t-shirts when the capacity of the club at the end of the night was only 1600. So basic maths £20,000 in. Now the bars I’m pretty sure will have not charged as they would love all the people coming into there bar and spending money on “normal” priced drinks not student prices which pissed a lot of us off if not everyone. The club may have charged but I’m not sure as they charged normal prices as well.
Now if each tshirt costs say £1 which in bulk they would if not cheaper, then total cost of shirts £2200, hire of bars £0 , hire of club either £0 , or couple hundred probably. Sale of tshirts/tickets £22,000. Cost of staff £0 (all were volunters who got free entry) . Estimated Profit of the Night = £20,000 +
They do this is many large cities around the UK, Not a bad money making idea, the fact that hundreds didn’t get into the club at the end, the bars charged normal prices when us students expect cheaper and the organisation was very poor means it may not be a business that lasts a long time, As although I had a really good time, a lot of people didnt.
