G’day from glorious Sydney!
We’ve been having a grand old time so far and yesterday we took up an invitation from DGM Australia and went on round to their offices for a bit of food and a few drinks on their rather fab rooftop terrace.
They were an incredibly friendly bunch and both myself and Chris Frost really enjoyed meeting the team, putting a few faces to names, and learning a bit more about what the network was all about.
Duncan, Chris, Jane (Chris’ lovely other half), Myself & Gavin of DGM fame enjoy a nice drinkie at DGM towers!
Retiring over the road to the pub for a few more jars…
Chris laden down and posing with his DGM goodie bags and Duncan lumbered with carrying a cocktail dress I’d bought on the way to the Do!
We had a really nice day, so thanks to DGM for putting on a right good do!
Interested In Finding Out More About The Australian Market?
I know that many affiliates in the UK are beginning to look at the Australian space and wonder if it is developed enough to create new income streams or have already started planning ways to enter the market. Looking at the range of merchants on offer from DGM alone, I feel e-commerce sites are definately becoming more developed and are starting to look to affiliate marketing to help them develop their online revenues. In particular, there are a very wide range of quality Australian finance merchants on the DGM network. Having had a quick gander I reckon that Aussie organic results and PPC arena is fairly wide open and accessible in comparison to the often cutthroat conditions in the UK. With recession not biting as deeply here in Australia, the industry has not seen the same issues with reluctance to issue credit (yet!).
Worth A Punt
I’m already working with DGM in Australia and have found the team to be incredibly friendly, helpful, and most importantly – responsive. With their help I’ve created the beginnings of a nice wee dollar revenue stream. If you’re considering working in this market you can sign up for the Australian network via the DgmPro site.
I must warn you that our Chris is already in posession of a full list of DGM merchants – so you’d better hurry up before he rushes in and dominates the Aussie affiliate marketing scene!
More about our affiliate related fun in Sydney when I’m back home later this week

Looks like you guys had a great time. As an Aussie I have slowly awakened to the local opportunities and am beginning to develop .com.au websites. I had not come across DGM so am heading to their site now to signup and check out the affiliate opportunities. Thanks!

I guess that OZ market has a huge potential. However, it is is still lack of quality merchants on it (comparing with US/UK) and basically only 3 aff networks.
