I’ve registered and paid for this year’s must-attend affiliate networking event in London 13th-15th October.

Last year when I was a fat affiliate but with thin pockets I had to beg my way to getting a ticket for a4uexpo. I begged that much that I had to give one ticket back.

I still splashed out though on a nice hotel and stayed with the likes of Kieron, Elaine and Keith on the Sunborn Yacht, docked outside of the Excel.

This year I have paid up early, so I can concentrate on my goals for 2008 rather than cluttering people’s blogs with tie-breakers.

All I want to know is where people are staying again. It doesn’t really matter as I’ll be propping up one of the hotel bars until 4am anyway. All I need is some shut eye.

There’s three evening events this year, so a4uexpo is just as much about making new friends and meeting old ones. There’s a Thames cruise and an Ignite and Ice Party to look forward to.

Last year I didn’t take away much new business but I took a bag full of knowledge and inspiration.

I will still be working on my goals from 2007 until September 2008. In fact, it is now a milestone in my calendar. I have already achieved one aim. I managed to successfully purchase the domain name I was wanting. Now I just have to find the time to build something on it.
