Learn Blogging & Affiliate Marketing with Rosalind Gardner

Holiday Greetings and Gratitude

By

With Christmas and New Year's nigh, it is time again to reflect on what has been a most incredible and rewarding journey.

It's almost hard to believe that I am about to start my 14th year as an online entrepreneur, affiliate marketer and coach.

But that achievement would have been impossible without you — my readers, students, clients and customers.

So, to all those who have followed me throughout the years, asking questions that inspired me to persue greater knowledge to share, I say a great big THANK YOU!

With heartfelt gratitude, I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

Cheers,
Ros

Ros Turns 50

By

Decorating the 12.5' Christmas TreeWill wonders never cease? I'm 50.

I'm actually so blown away by that fact that “Will wonders never cease?” is what's going on my birthday cake. 🙂

Anyway, as much as you should be able to do whatever you want on your birthday (for me, that would be blogging and working on the AffiliateBloggerPro project — I'm having SO much fun with that!!), I promised Ed that I would actually take the whole weekend off, i.e. away from the computer.

And considering that the party is tomorrow night and I have guests coming to stay from out-of-town, that's probably a good idea.

So, I'll go finish decorating the tree now. Just hope that in my new advanced state of decline that I don't pull a spazz and fall off that ladder. 🙂

Chat soon,
Ros

P.S. While I love to fly upside-down in aerobatic airplanes, ladders scare the @(#*$ out of me. 🙂

Update… just to prove it really happened….

50 Most Influential Bloggers of 2009: Who’s on the List?

By

Just got a nice surprise from Kit Elliott who commented that I made Michael Dunlop's '50 Most Influential Bloggers of 2009′ list.

Cool – especially considering Arianna Huffington is also on that list.

Who is Michael Dunlop?

Now 20, Michael launched his first profitable website when he was 16 years old and has been blogging himself rich — making between £1,000 and £1,500 a week according to one newspaper.

By result, Michael says he's been “fortunate to hang out and interview some of the biggest names online”, people such as Mark Victor Hansen, Yanik Silver, Craig Newmark, (founder of Craigslist.com), Bob Parsons, (Founder and CEO of GoDaddy), Matt Mullenweg, (founding developer of WordPress) and more.

Michael says:

The opportunities with blogging are endless and I hope today’s post of the fifty most influential bloggers of 2009 will inspire you to follow in their footsteps.

Find out who the ‘other 49' are on Michael's ‘50 Most Influential Bloggers of 2009‘ list. 🙂
