Sunshine and definately no showers - Mission #7

There has been a lot of Sunshine lately, with a certain company causing a stir in the affiliate marketing arena. A good stir though.

They gang over at Sunshine.co.uk have hit the travel market with a certain rush, that has got people not only talking but building their first travel sites.

The sunshine.co.uk affiliate marketing incentives are real incentives with rewards that will give you your own dose in sunshine. We are not talking putting up the odd banner here, these guys give you everything you need to get your travel site on the road to success. Product feeds, dynamic banners, customisable and white label search boxes, rss feeds, email templates...the lot. Oh and not forgetting staff that do not seem to sleep.

The last few days I spent trawling their site for a cheap holiday, this was in aid of one of their incentives 'Mission 7'.

The simplicity of the sunshine website also made this a pretty simple task, although by the end I was going a bit cross eyed.

The best bit was receiving an email from Chris C at Sunshine.co.uk informing me I had won, I was amazed at this but soon started to realise I also had gained a free holiday but also the problem of knowing what to do with me 8yr old lad while I was sunning it up in Majorca. Again sunshine came to the rescue and threw in a ticket for him as well. So now I have a free holiday and an 8 year old with a big grin.

Chris got us booked up in a jiffy, with an upgraded apartment, good flights and transfer as well. So thanks again Chris and all at sunshine.co.uk.

And lastly a quick word to the other travel merchants.... look and learn!

Time for me to change to AM

Over the last three to four years, I have been dabbling around in web design for local companies, (and some not so local). The amount of hours put in for the reward that came has become unjustified especially when there is so much I want to do with my affiliate marketing.

I am still new to affiliate marketing and learning day by day, each sale that comes prompts me to do a bit more.

This week see my commission so far pass through the £1000, I know it is not much compared to the majority of souls in affiliate marketing, but it is enough for me to say goodbye to web design and hello to putting in more hours to developing sites for myself.

I realise the amount of hours I put in will probably go up, but its still nice to see those sales click up.

Sunshine's working hard to get that tan

The people over at sunshine.co.uk have been working hard lately promoting their new affiliate scheme and throwing incentives at its affiliates and would be affiliates left right and centre.

Macbook Air's, Trips to Barbados, and undercover spying trips to the Costa's are some of their latest carrots put before us.

As travel companies go, they seem pretty clued up, the Sunshine site itself is easy to use, offers good flight and hotel selection and now I hear even hotel transfers too.

I first made contact with Chris at Sunshine when he replied to a cry of help for my own www.justsalou.co.uk website, and again what he told me did make sense and is proving to make sense in the number of visitors to the site and also the time on site they spend.

What Chris doesn't know yet is I will be beating at his door again shortly, with some help for hotel pages.

As soon as sunshine.co.uk was put to market, Chris and the gang at Sunshine were there with hotel feeds, destination feeds, shortly followed with search boxes, special offer banners tailored to what you want and even code to prepare your own email marketing.

The end result of all this is an affiliate scheme that is user friendly with all the info you need to get into travel, whether you want to promote a broad range of destinations or that little niche destination that you want to push, and also enough info to make me want to push more and get on with it.
