Best Time of Year for Affiliating?

by Nick Haslem on June 9, 2009 · 1 comment

The last few days have got me thinking about a variety of things to do with affiliating. One of those things is the weather… clutching at straws much? Nope.

I can distinctly remember sitting in this same room in Summer time and be dripping in sweat. Not only that, the material on the chair would mkae me sticky and gross in general. Now the season has changed though. We now have snuggly cool weather in the Southern Hemisphere. While that helps me get a lot more done through the day – it can be a bitch waking up in the morning.

Maybe I am too soft and need to take some of my own advice by growing some balls. But, it is so cold in the morning that I am now over sleeping for about 3 hours. I make up for it when I’m awake, but it sucks to be waking up so late in the day.

Aside from the weather, for gambling affiliates we have the WSOP. This is always a good time for affiliates because there are plenty of promotions going on and great current content to write.

While I’m fairly sure that most gambling affiliates see a spike in their revenue around this time of year, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is the best for the whole year. I haven’t been around for as long as most other affiliates (this is my 2nd year) so it would be interesting to hear what others think about this.

My Weekend

Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t written on here. I took the weekend off and went to see The Presets on Sunday night. While they weren’t as good as what I was hoping it was still a good night out. We ended up staying at The Novotel which is a 4 Star Hotel I think.

Took me all of yesterday to recover from all the Vodka. The chick I was having pre drinks with was spewing before we even left which was kind of funny. Chicks can’t really handle their drinks. Being the gentleman that I am, I finished the bottle for us.

Was a good night and well worth it. Have a lot of work to catch up on though. Have a lot of those burning “man I have to get this done” jobs to do. Have a good week everyone. I will post a couple of videos we took of the concert when I get them off my friends.

Since I am active in affiliating for a year now, I always thought that winter cold months are the most lucrative, because people stay at home, and they want to play something online. But from my stats I have had a great May and June seems like another great month, so I am not sure what to think now :) (I don’t have any Aussie gamblers afaik, so it is not even the upside-down seasons.)

And I need to protest: “Chicks can’t really handle their drinks. ” LOL, this is not true for all of us, maybe you met the one who can’t handle it :P
