Weekly Focus: Marketing, News, Events

Each week we like to present you with a unique combination of something from the past as well as something coming in the future. It is important to understand that the things you do today will certainly affect your tomorrow. Whatever you do or don’t do today affects your future in quite predictable ways. Time and effort spent on your site today will result in sales tomorrow, that’s for sure! This is why you should continue to invest in your knowledge and skills for a more successful future. Make up a plan for the upcoming week right now! Don’t miss the current updates from our team.

This week is full of news and events that we invite you to review. Check out what has happened since last Friday.

Get to Know a Few of Our Best Affiliates

This week we are happy to present to you another good friend of ours – Andrea Carless, who we have had the pleasure of working with for years. Andrea is sure that, ‘careful planning is a key to guaranteed success’.

Who are you? Where are you from? What do you do in life?
Hello to all! I am Andrea Carless, Prestatyn, North Wales, UK.
When did you start working in the on-line dating industry?
I started developing niche dating sites in 2006 to help men and women find romance, love and long term relationships. I didn’t really need it at the time. Unfortunately, my site became redundant last year and I was really grateful to have a plan B.
Can you remember what you spent your first cheque on?
I spent my first payment on more advertising with Google AdWords to promote my sites and push the business forward.
What are your favorite promotional methods?
My favourite promotional methods are article marketing, social media and Google AdWords.
Can you tell us your words of wisdom for newbie’s?
Be consistent and set your goals to makes things happen. Plan your marketing activities for the week by breaking them into days and hours in your diary. Success is a journey, not a destination. You are starting the most exciting journey of your life.
