I’ve just returned from the A4uexpo Roadshow in Bristol, and despite having a fantastic time with some brilliant people (one of the reasons I love this Industry), I was left with a niggling concern. Of the hundred or so attendees, there was no more than a handful of affiliates present –... 

Quick Question: Does everyone who reads this blog understand what spam is? In a nutshell, it’s unsolicited email – junk emails that you haven’t asked for from people and websites you haven’t signed up to receive emails from. It’s the scourge of the Internet, and all spammers... 

Back in January, I introduced the “Muppet of the Week” award. Rather surprisingly, given that I do like to have a good old moan on these blog pages, there’s only been four winners of said “weekly” award in the last five months – Stan James, Cleverat, Ladbrokes and... 

The latest subject in our Day in the Life series is Jason Baker, Publisher Account Director at Commission Junction UK. I’m grateful to Jason for taking the time to share a typical day at CJ Towers with us. Remember, if you would like to take part in “A Day in the Life..”, then please... 

A couple of times a week, someone will pop up on an Affiliate Marketing forum with the immortal words “I’ve just read Mr X’s ebook on ‘How I make a Trillion Dollars a Day from Affiliate Marketing’ and I’m more confused than ever” That same person will then usually... 

It’s been a few weeks since our last Day in the Life – A few people who promised to do one haven’t delivered yet, so I’ll be out chasing them over the coming weeks.. you know who you are, and you have been warned guys! I’m really glad that Elaine agreed to share a Day... 

I was reading Ray Theakston’s Blog at the weekend, and a comment he made about not attending the a4uawards as they “didn’t seem quite right for bedroom affiliates like myself” totally hit home with me. One of the main things that I loved about Affiliate Marketing when I first went... 

Well, it’s (already?) That time of the year – Time to vote for the a4uawards, and once again, I’m sharing my votes publically, as well as giving my reasons why I’ve given my votes to these people – My reasons are personal in many cases – Fully deserved winners will... 

Isn’t Karma a wonderful thing? – Who says there’s no justice in the world? Just five short months after “leaving the cast of Eastenders (Plymouth Argyle) to play King Lear (Leicester City)”, perennial liar Ian Holloway managed to add yet another relegation to his CV, this... 

Running on auto-pilot – You’ve got to love Wordpress haven’t you? If I hadn’t told everyone I spoke to for a few weeks beforehand, you wouldn’t know that I’ve actually been on a fortnight’s holiday – Thanks to the mighty WP (as well as a couple of colleagues,... 

If you thought that Nadeem Azam managed to burn the candle at both ends, then you might be surprised to learn that he’s got a rival for the hours put in by the subject of this week’s Day in the Life… I mean, getting paid to party.. how hard can it be? Over to Laura Przybek, Events... 

It’s a bumper “Day in the life of” this week, as we take a peek at the typical working day of the hardest working man in Affiliate Marketing, Nadeem Azam. Nadeem is CEO of Azam Marketing, and one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. So without further ado, it’s over... 

Part Two of “A Day in the Life of…” shows us a typical day for Helen Southgate, Affiliate Director at DGM. I’m grateful to Helen for agreeing to give us this insight into her daily workings, and indeed to everyone who has agreed to let us spend a virtual day with them. We have... 

During an interview with Chris Frost last month, I mentioned that it would be a fab idea for everyone in Affiliate Marketing to spend a month doing a job-swap with someone from “the other side” – i.e Networks become affiliates for a month, and affiliates spend a month working for a... 

Next try to start building bridges – It’s been interesting to see that i-level, the agency “managing” Next on Buy.at and Affilinet have this week announced a couple of events to try and address the uproar that they caused a few weeks ago arrogantly branding affiliates as “polluters”...
