As we get closer to the end of 2008 no doubt many people will be turning their attention to the annual ritual of making New Years Resolutions.

Most of the New Year Resolutions that I have made last a very short space of time, are usually made when I am drunk and therefore more likely to be off the wall.

That being said there is a subliminal thing that goes on in my head that does make me stop for a split second before ordering an extra portion of rice in the chinese restaurant, as I know I could do with losing a few pounds.

Many people will probably come up with some of the ones that you often see :

• Lose weight
• Get out of debt
• Get a better job
• Start eating correctly
• Get exercise
• Get a better education
• Stop smoking
• Drink less alcohol
• Start a new relationship
• Spend more time with family and friends
• Take a trip
• Start a business
• Volunteer time to do things for other

That’s good news for our affiliates as we have a number of offers that help people out (Acai Berry, Government Grants, Dating, Business Opportunities), and January is always a phenomenal time to capitalise on people’s desire to do good things for themselves and their family, so the likelihood of making plenty of money is very high.

I’ve had many a heated discussion that promoting some of the offers using affiliate marketing is exploitation of the weak. But, often it’s the shock treatment that helps people to change. That change takes a second to decide and then often a lifetime to achieve. Some people say that payday loans are extortion etc. but ultimately if people are not able to manage their finances it is not our position to become moralistic, we are there to provide a means for that person to resolve their immediate problem in a way that suits them.

Our resolutions revolve around growing our network, our UK offers, spending more time with family and friends (including all of you) and taking trips, starting with Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas. We will be there from 9th to the 14th January and if you are going to be there we would love to meet up with you.

So, if you are working with us already Login to your account and do your bit to help people achieve their resolutions, and if you are not working us already, make it one of your resolutions to work with the UK affiliate marketing network of choice for many top publishers.

Also, if you are not already doing so, please follow Global Direct Media on Twitter

Hope you stick to your resolutions.

It’s that time of year when you look at the presents you’d like to give others, and knowing how some of our better publishers are petrol heads, I was looking into the latest designer Lambourghini.

Now to say this car is stylish and fast is a bit of an understatement. You can see all the gory details here

Top speed of 223 mph, 0-62 in 3.2 seconds blah, blah blah.

The car is ONLY $693,000 (think I might buy two), but being the intrepid ad relevancy guru I tittered to myself to see the poignancy of the ads showing underneath the pictures.

Now this throws up a whole bunch of questions.

1. That car is expensive but can you imagine driving it home to your trailer park?

2. How many payday loans would you need to get to buy a $700k car?

3. Where would you put the 7 kids and 2 dogs?

4. Why on earth would you show payday loan ads on a page with a $700k car?

5. Does it come in any other colours other than black?

6. Will you be able to put it on a removal truck when you leave the trailer park at midnight?

Call me fussy, but why spend that sort of money for a car that would make everyone think you were a Dark Knight wannabe, you’ve inherited the money from a rich relative, you won the lottery or you are a pimp.

As we get close to the end of the year, we took our cameras out and managed to record a message from our monarch. Sadly though this is no longer available.

She was very gracious to predict that the credit crunch was not going to have much impact on Web 2.0 which gave me a feeling of great comfort.

She also had a few kind words to say about the year ahead, about me personally (blush), which was very flattering. I guess it was either that or a knighthood!

This is of course was not the real Queen, but we wanted to take the time to thank all our advertisers, publishers and friends in the industry for all their support through 2008. Looking forward to a new and exciting 2009.

Our office will be closing early on Christmas Eve to allow all those who still need to buy Christmas presents to do their last minute shopping (like me). We will be open for business through the Christmas week and closed half day on New Years Eve.

Live today is a new exclusive e-mail only offer from Oxfam. At Christmas time give a different gift this year. Books for schools, water, eco-warriers, goats to name but a few of the creative ideas that are available as an alternative to your more traditional Christmas gifts. It’s an extremely worthy cause. You can also get any orders placed before 22nd December delivered in time for Christmas and there is free delivery as well.

The way it works is that you receive a gift card and a magnet of the gift you have given, and the gift is sent to where it will add the most value.

The offer pays out on every successful purchase regardless of the value of the purchase. The payout for the offer is a high $8 per sale (just over £5).

So, if you are a mailer with UK data and already a publisher on our network, login to your account, grab the creative for the offer, download the suppression file and do your bit for charity this Christmas.

If you are not already a publisher……..why not?

Seriously though, this is a really worthy cause, please sign up as a publisher and help us make a difference this Christmas. Besides, you could win yourself a place on the Hong Kong Rugby 7’s Incentive.

Thanks in advance for your support of this worthy cause.
