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.
I’ve been to the gym twice this week, no chuckling at the back please and exhausted myself in two spinning sessions. Spinning is cycling to dance music so it’s a great motivation to go to the gym. That and the nice scenery.
The spinning classes this week have been full with fit women trying to get even fitter and the classes appear to be busier than January.
So that means one thing, it’s lighter nights and people are frantically trying to burn off that chocolate for those holidays coming up.
So whilst I was sat in the gym sauna I was thinking of what tasks I’d do this evening and I’ve gone for one that ticks many boxes.
- REFRESH MY HOME PAGE
- MAKE CONTACT WITH MERCHANTS
- PROMOTE NEGLECTED CODES
- PROMOTE RELATED MERCHANTS
- ATTRACT ATTENTION FOR NEW EXCLUSIVE CODES
- PROMOTE USE OF 88×31 MICRO BAR CREATIVE
- EASY TO IMPLEMENT
So, in five minutes I’ve dedicated the most prominent position of my site to those health related merchants that provide voucher codes. Not only that but I also found four I could highlight from my vast collection of Exclusive codes.
The ‘Healthy Codes’ line replaces my ‘Hot Codes’ section at the top of my home page. I was going to play with a tag line along the lines of ‘Five a Day’ and list offers that are either £5 or 5% off.
Then at the last minute I changed the strap line to ’4 Steps to Financial Fitness’. This is perfect for my site as throughout every code page I say, ‘Here’s how to save money with Shop Codes in 4 easy steps’ and bullet point the steps to use a code.
I’ll let it run for a while and see if those merchants listed generate more click-throughs and sales. I’ll rotate the highlighted merchants but that is where I will struggle.
Merchants, please help me help you get healthier. All I ask is not for an Exclusive code, or even a generic code. Just please add and keep an 88×31 micro bar creative in your mix.
