I posted a few days ago inviting questions on anything affiliate based to my life based and below are the questions with the answers
First Hannah’s Questions
1) What comes first Uni or Aff stuff? Bit of mixture really. Ideally should be uni but tends to be aff stuff
2) How do you decide which sites/merchants to push? depends on the area, commission, which network they are on, if they offer something good to the user etc
3) What do your uni lecturers think of having a successful Affiliate in class? They don’t know
4) What is your top time management tip for students/full time workers who are Aff’s too? hmm im not best for giving tips as i mix it up, but my general rule is … socialising(drinking) ahead of aff or uni work.
5) Ever posted pissed??? on a4uforum yes once slightly tipsy
These from Diane
6)How are students dealing with the credit crunch? Has it affected students at all? Are they exempt from normal economic issues? Students are just really feeling it in food shopping, generally just buying more own brand food items, general student stuff, buying in bulk etc. Students are not excempt i’d say but they are feeling it
These from Phil
7) How much time do you spend on affy marketing and how long has it taken you to get to this point? I’d say 10-30mins a a day, more checking forum tho.
If a student were to start now, what advice would you give them? Keep it as a hobby to do in your spare time at first, then see how it goes
9) What do you envisage yourself doing after you finish uni, and do you think it’s important to complete your degree considering the success you’re having already? Yes i want to complete my degree as its a waste of money otherwise, also after Uni ideally want to keep doing, maybe full time, and/or open my own offline business
These from Mike
10) How do you plan your day? Do you have a team of people working on various things or is it a one man band show? Do you design and develop your websites or get it done from someone else? Day is unplanned really, just see what needs doing and get it done, if I was full time I think it’d be different. I normally either outsource design or use a template and wordpress.
and these from Rob
11) Have you any travel websites? Yes only one though, www.DiscountHotels.org.uk small site really
12) Is there already / do you think there will ever be some academic courses on affiliate marketing, e.g. a Batchelors Degree? Im not sure there is at the moment, maybe some kind of e-marketing degree, im not sure a whole degree in it will become available any time soon to be honest.
Thanks for all your questions, some nice questions. Anymore i will answer in the comments below

Max, are there any specific WordPress theme/s you can recommend for building affiliate sites?
Hi Mark
I dont use a specific one, what i do is google for “free wordpress themes” then find an appropriate one (or search for “travel wordpress themes” etc) , then i install http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/ that, im not sure if its best but thats all i do on my wordpress sites

Wow, I wish I’d started a bit of this when I was still a student. The money would have come in useful!
