08/09/08 - Public Thanks To Sunshine

I would like to publicly thank Chris Clarkson and the rest of Sunshine for my familiarisation trip (aka holiday) to Orlando.

We had a great time and jammed as much as we possibly could do into our 7 night holiday. We met a wide range of people from those that couldn't do enough to those that we'd like to quickly forget ;-)

We had a couple of problems whilst away although these are probably experienced by a lot of travellers. More

24/07/08 - Incentives That Incentivise

Last month I wrote that gift vouchers were a fine and dandy way to incentivise me. They still are, but not everyone is motivated by vouchers.

Following Sunshine's incentive that is sending me off to Orlando Florida, I thought it would be quite apt to write about what ranks highly in my overall incentives list, given unlimited merchant capital and love! More

11/07/08 - I'm Off To Orlando!

Enternal thanks to Chris who's whisking me (and 'tother half I hope ;-) ) to Orlando Florida! Sunshine has been running a competition for a while which closed today. I didn't win; Tania and her Fuerteventura holiday site won. Congrats to her.

I've spent the morning doing some work. I then logged onto A4U to find an message from Chris. I messaged him and he asked if I'd heard the news. "What news?" I said. He send me a link to http://www.sunshine.co.uk/affiliates/blog/2008-07-11/sunshinecouk-fam-trip-winners/

As a reward for hard work and a fair bit of effort, Chris is sending me on my trip to sunny Orlando! More

03/07/08 - Me On A Really Good Day!

Many thanks to Berocca who sent me a Bloggers Relief pack. I wasn't sure I would be one of the lucky few to receive a pack but I had an email a couple of days ago and a courier arrive today.

Here's my box of tricks: More

01/07/08 - Any Merchants Got Just One Spare Mug?

24/06/08 - My Sunshine.co.uk Competition Entry

First off, congratulations to Sunshine on offering one of the best affiliate prizes I've ever heard of. Hats off to the team.

I've got a brand new passport just waiting to be used! Having never been abroad with my fiancée, I see this competition as a good attempt to!

The destination I've chosen is Orlando in Florida to supplement the content on Orlando Florida Holiday, a site I've created in around 2 weeks from scratch purposefully for this competition. Here's my itinerary: More

11/06/08 - Thanks To Screwfix and Affiliate Window!

There I was saying to my mother last night 'I've Won a Mug in 6 Months'. Then Tom from Affiliate Window just called to say I'd won the Screwfix widget competition!

The vouchers are being popped in the post as we speak! More

17/05/08 - Thanks To A4U Expo For My Mug

Just like Kieron, if you send me free stuff, I'll blog about it :-). More

13/12/07 - Thanks Montezumas and Red Letter Days For My Chocolates!

I recently wrote about a great affiliate incentive affil.net ran a few weeks ago to get fresh Red Letter Day creative into the market, and the fruits (well, chocolates) of the incentive arrived today.

Here's some pictures of the chocolate box. More

06/12/07 - Thanks For My Free £50 Red Letter Day Voucher

Red Letter Days and Affili.net recently ran the easiest affiliate promotion in the world. All you had t do was place a banner like the one below on a website and send them a link. They'd then issue you a £50 Red Letter Day Voucher. As with all my freebies, here's a thank you message and link back to your site!

In the process of spending my voucher, I realised that Red Letter Days is owned by Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis. More
