Well, we have a new member of staff on the books here at Affiliate Stuff towers who is going to be helping us out with a bit of part time blogging about various subjects (but mainly knickers, bras, and swimwear related type stuff).
The Winner Is…
After careful consideration of a very long list of candidates we awarded a nice contract to….. MY MUM! After 21 years of working in admin for a construction company she decided to make the big move and take voluntary redundancy. This has given her the golden opportunity to start her internet career and enj0y a nice bit of work from home fun just like her dear old daughter and son in law. She’ll be writing for us part time and devoting a lot more time to relaxing, having fun, and all those little things she’s been meaning to do around the house for ages.
Like Mother Like Daughter…
She’s doing really well so far and I’m now pretty clear about whom I got my writing skills from. Her knicker related prose is really rather good and she is even managing to post it all up into a basic HTML framework I have created for her. It’ll take her a little while to get up to speed with the ins and outs, but she’ll soon be rattling out thousands of words an hour just like me!
I think it’s very cool to get the chance to give your Mummy a go at something brand new and exciting. So Mum, I know you read this blog – welcome to the affiliate business and I hope you really enjoy semi retirement!
P.S. I wonder if this means I should bring her to next year’s A4U Expo in London? I’m sure she’d have quite the little migraine after a few sessions of affiliate conferencing fun (not to mention the various after parties!!)

Congrats to Mum. Sounds like the perfect opportunity for her. Hope all goes well for you both.

Mum, I hope you negotiated a tiered profit share? I wonder if there are any other Mother and Daughter, or even Father and Son affiliate marketing combos out there. In any case, I wish you every success. Oh and Kirsty, remember to add a new category to the blog, “Ask Kirsty’s Mum”

Oi Steven, don’t you be giving her any ideas LOL!

Best of luck I’m sure it will be a winning combination.
My daughter Natasha writes for me from time to time and it works really well.

Ha! I wish I could rope someone into helping me with content writing! Oh the joys of churning out article after article

Will this be the first ever occassion where daughter knows better than mother?

Thats so cool! I’ve thought about trying to get my mum to start some kind of site as she could do with the extra bunce but I couldn’t really think of anything and as this game is so hit and miss I’d hate for her to get her hopes up and spend loads of time on something only for nothing to come of it.

Nice one Kirsty – it’s great to get family involved in the business – never short of something to talk about – and she wouldn’t be out of place at the G2Gs and might surprise you – there’s life in the older generation
