My 3 Minutes Of Fame …. Cough
I had an email from a producer from BBC Essex the other day asking if I could go on their radio show to talk about online bingo. I thought great some free publicity and agreed. The very same day I went to the doctors who promptly diagnosed me with Glandular fever! So the stage was well and truly set for my 3 minutes of (uncomfortable) fame!
The phone rang today (Thursday) at 10.05 A.M as discussed and I was shocked to be talking to the presenter (thinking I was on air talking in official voice!) Then Dave the presenter said you will be on air after this song - then I was put on hold! After the song had finished it was time for the interview - I have no idea what I said! I am hoping to catch it later on listen again. Then another song was played and the presenter assured me that ‘it’s going well’!
We then had a chat about the growth of online bingo and how you play the game with some of the features associated with it. Again I am not really sure what I said but was thanked by a kind lady and was on my way! Phew!
I am sticking with the rule that any advertising is good advertising! Even if I did sound like a blithering idiot! And I enjoyed the experience anyway. And now I can say I am famous 
Edit: I listened again and I thought the interview went quite well, it also lasted around 18 minutes! Great experience that I would love the opportunity to try again one day.

An Affiliate Flyer Through My Postbox
I was going through my post on Saturday and was pleased to discover a leaflet from an affiliate site specialising in insurance. They had listed all the deals from the major Insurance companies which included both their URL and offline discount codes realting to their domain.
This got me thinking about offline marketing stategies and whether they could work with any affiliate site. I could definetly imagine comparison sites using this technique and I think I may well give it a try. There are so many avenues that could be used including newspapers, magazines and even radio (this one could be more difficult). Ill let you know how I progress.
