Dream Job

Reef Island Job Rob

Nice piece of viral marketing from the Aussies. Similar to something by Thomson last week - but better!

As reported on the BBC they are going to pay someone £70 grand to stay on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef from 1st of July until the end of 2009 - writing a blog !

The "job" comes with a 3 bedroom villa, flexible working hours, and apart from visiting the Great Barrier Reef Islands, other responsibilities include feeding the fish and cleaning the pool. No sweat mate.

If you want to compete with me for the job have a look at www.islandreefjob.com
The website is pretty slow tonight - I bet they are getting some serious traffic!

New blog - affiliate marketing for travel industry

Happy New Year
Best wishes for 2009

To add to my little collection of blogs ( launched the win holidays blog in November ), I have split off the affiliate marketing for the travel industry angle of no-job-rob into a new entity which can be found here : http://affiliate4travel.co.uk

Although I am new to affiliate marketing, I hope my newness will help me write useful tutorials for other people interested in getting involved. Unfortunately many talented travel industry people will lose their jobs this year and I would like to think they can put their knowledge and expertise to use for themselves.

Already on there are the following posts and there are plenty more to come :
