The Manchester Meet…

May 27, 08 by Max

Just thought I’d do a quick post blog about the meet up we had in

Manchester on Friday. It was a nice relaxed event with a mixture of agencies, a few network staff and some affiliates. A good mix I’d say. It was hosted by R.O.Eye who are an excellent agency who run several programs. They are in my eyes the best agency I know in the Industry and got my vote for agency of the year in the a4u awards voting. The affiliates I talked to were of different levels, some had been doing it for a long time, others were new to it and hadn’t tried it before and were simply interesting in finding out more. It was good to listen to other affiliates and share some information/advice and tips as well as have a general chat about it. It’s always good to be able to put a face to the name you’ve been chatting to by email or on msn. Overall the event was definitely worth me going to , if not just for the free drinks ;) and food which looking back I should have taken some of the food back to fellow starving students in my flat who have run there loans down to the ground and are living off rivita and Sainsburys basic cheese :) I will be looking forward to the next event that I come across in the near future and working with people who I met for the first time or continuing and pushing more sales.

May 05, 08 by Max

Bad news for me, woke up friday morning after only getting in that night at 4:30 am to find my neck was twice the size and looked a cross between a 22 stone guy and a hamster :(

 So i’m quite i’ll at the moment with Mumps and can’t get much work done either affiliate or revision.

1000 Balloons 1 Bedroom £70

April 16, 08 by Max

Quick post although I haven’t been posting much on my blog recently (sorry lack of time, lots work going on affiliate wise for me not much time for posting) I have been having fun in my uni accommadation

Friend went away for a week… we climbed in through his window, emptied his room into the kitchen and set it up as it was there. Then over 4 days bought around 1200 balloons and blow most of them up and filled his room with them. It did take a very long time and we did regret not buying a electric pump to help us along, but all in all a fun time :) His reaction was classic :)

p.s Still looking for more partnerships for affiliate sites. Get in touch via the contact me page.

An Interview with … Me

March 06, 08 by Max

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

How to Make £20,000 + in 1 Night …

March 03, 08 by Max

 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.

25,000 Uniques and a Merry Christmas

December 22, 07 by Max

Yes many posts on blogs are saying merry Christmas and I’m doing the same. I thought I’d make it more interesting with a few stats about this Blog.

Blog went live on the 07/09/07 :) So it’s nearly 4 months old. In that time it’s had 25,000 unique views and 36,000+ Visits including returning visitors, which was helped a lot due to this post http://affiliatestudent.co.uk/student-life/further-mathsi-bet-you-wont-read-this/ which was stumbled upon :) The revenue to date from the Blog is £0 . This is as I don’t aim the Blog to make any money, it’s simply here to help and inform others. I’ve received great support from other Blog owners and people in the affiliate marketing industry and would like to thank them all. And finally a massive thanks to all my Blog readers. Without you the Blog wouldn’t be what it is. You’re the people that motivate me and help me come up with Blog posts. So a Merry Christmas to all, I’ll Blog after Christmas again and hope in the time the blogs been up I’ve helped a few people :)
