Apologies for radio silence readers – I have been completely preoccupied with Christmas related affiliate stuff and the rising mercury here in Queensland isn’t leaving me with much energy at the end of the working day which is usually when I talk to you guys.
Anyhoo… Christmas trade is over for another year, and as the dust settles most affiliates will be taking stock of what worked for them, what didn’t, and what information they have gathered that they can use either next year or to help them identify new niches in 2010. Christmas reveals a lot about peoples buying habits and popular products, so I’ve been making feverish notes and analysing everything to within an inch of its life recently. Time consuming, but incredibly revealing! If this is your first affiliate Christmas, or the first one where you’ve done well it will definately pay you to take a few hours to reflect upon your stats!
Merry Christmas!
Hope you all have a great Christmas Day and that all you UK people aren’t too fed up with all that snow and ice. For the record, it’s 33 here today and I am not feeling in the slightest bit festive. I’m looking forward to my pressie from Duncan tomorrow and a taste of the giant cheesecake he’s just made though, so that at least is a start!
If you didn’t read it then, here is last Christmas’ festive poem. I’m too hot to write anything creative this year so in true eco friendly style I’m recycling!
Have a great Christmas, and I’ll see you all in the SERPS for the January Sales.
Festive love and hugs,
Kirsty xxx
P.S. I’ve just re-read a post I wrote on December 12th last year about how un-festive I was feeling and how I was having my best Christmas ever (it came up as a related post when I previewed this one!). Clearly doing much better this year as I’m not displaying any of the scroogy symptoms as per last year.

Best wishes to Duncan too.

Merry Christmas Kirsty from a fellow ‘Aussie’ also feeling less than festive here in Brisbane, where it reached 35C today. We shouldn’t moan should we? But we will
I’m away to see if a certain Raymond Briggs story and turning the air conditioning down a few degrees helps with the lack of yuletide cheer. Anyway, I better go stick a few tins in the fridge for tomorrow’s barbie…what a drag. Bah! Humbug!

Christmas is a bit in the past now, but just want to wish you and everyone a very Happy New Year!
Look forward to spending many more hours of happy reading of Kirsty’s blog in 2010

HNY Kirsty and Duncan! I just thought you should know it’s frosty here with totally crystal blue clear skies – most of the year Oz sounds tempting but hot temperatures at Christmas time is just wrong!
