Consultancy: Affiliate Marketing & Buying Websites

As well as running my affiliate marketing business & Wish.co.uk, I work on a handful of consultancy projects each year.

Why Work With Me?

Unlike many self-appointed experts, I’ve earned a living as an affiliate for a number of years.

In short: the bulk of my experience results from putting my own money where my mouth is.

That means I have…

• Spent $1m+ of my own money on AdWords
• Negotiated six figure website acquisition deals
• Invested heavilly in a portfolio of websites & premium domains

Of course, that would mean nothing had it not generated a positive return. I have…

• Sold £2m+ of kitchen appliances in 12 months
• Generated c. 2% turnover for one PLC
• Generated 1,000+ new hosting customers in 12 months

Affiliate Marketing

Retailers face many challenges running an affiliate program. I can advise on how best to address these to maximise incremental revenue generated via the affiliate channel.

Launching an affiliate program is often seen as a ‘quick win’. In reality, successful programs require planning, an ongoing investment of staff resources and money and the buy in of other departments of the business.

I can help you lay the foundations of a successful affiliate program, addressing topics such as:

• Improving affiliate retention
• Encouraging dormant affiliates to start sending traffic
• Implementing voucher policies to avoid cannibalising sales

Buying Websites

Acquiring premium domains or websites in your sector can be an effective way to scale your business.

However, it can be a minefield given the myriad ways to get caught out, from fraudulent revenue claims to the payment process.

I can help you avoid those pitfalls & achieve your goals in a painless, effective manner.

Some of the tasks I’ve helped with include…

• Tracking down AWOL owners of domains/websites
• Acquiring affiliate sites/competitors
• Buying feeder sites for traffic

Not sure if I’m a good fit? I’ll be the first to tell you if someone else is better suited to your project.

My Background

I have worked in digital media for nine years. Before starting my own business in 2005, I worked with brands like O2, T-Mobile, Bravo TV and the BHF on their web & mobile marketing strategies.

Success Stories

My business has driven many millions of pounds in sales for clients in a wide range of sectors. I’m happy to share specifics on a confidential basis if you get in touch.

Testimonials

Here’s what some of the companies I’ve worked with have said about me.

“Thanks for your help [acquiring a premium domain] - I used a bunch of your advice.” Will Critchlow, Founder, Distilled

“I had been looking to buy a .co.uk domain name but was unable to find any contact information even when using Whois. I then spoke with Richard & he came back to me with full contact details including a mobile phone number. I didn’t know this was even possible, awesome service!” Nicholas Saxlund, CEO, Polemark

Everyone in the industry knows that Richard is the go to guy if you want to buy a website not only has he got the contacts he’s also got the negotiating nous to make sure you don’t pay over the odds. I had the pleasure of working with him on a project recently and couldn’t be more pleased with the work he delivered. Kelvin Newman, Creative Director, Site Visiblity & linkbuilding author

Faced with a detailed 80 page technical blueprint for a price comparison engine, Richard helped us iterate the project before a single line of code was written. Mark Tempest, Mpora & DeepNet Media
