Saturday roundup

It’s been a busy busy week all round in work life, blog life and family life. So I have not posted as much as I could have. I will also be going on holiday on Monday so I will hopefully have a few guest authors to come in and help with some great posts.

New affiliate campaign

I have started in the field of affiliate marketing which is proving quite difficult but I am persevering and learning a lot along the way. You can view my daily diary of affiliate marketing at:

www.blogconsultant.co.uk

as you know I am constantly seeking new ways of making money on the internet. I have been researching this for a few months and took the plunge last Sunday night. I had some success at first but it seems to have dried up in the last few days so I am re-evaluating the ads I have with Google Adwords.
