Affiliate marketing isn’t ALL work… trust me.
Colin McDougall (VEO Report, 6 Minute Rankings and Fly on the Wall Club coaching program) and I have been friends for what seems like forever — or at least since he phoned me one day a few years ago with his empassioned plea for help after things in his original affiliate business went terribly awry.
Thankfully, he listened (to me and a few noteable others) and things are much better for Colin now… like to the tune of 70K Commission Junction checks. Because he now has the time, we get together to play in his favorite playground (and where I live full-time), the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to include these pics of an affiliate tradition… the after dinner corn cob toss at my house. I live on a bench overlooking the valley and the objective is to hit the neighbour’s shed roof.

Colin won the latest round… and the neighbour doesn’t like me any better now.
Another tradition has become a once yearly ‘play a round whether you like it or not’ golf game (we both hate it). Ed gets choked that neither of us keeps track of our score, but we enjoy sharing a round, a couple of beers, the great weather and views, as well as some great conversation about affiliate marketing.
Anyway, let’s see if Colin has a Google Alert on his name… and how quickly he responds to seeing his corn cob tossing pictures published on the web. 🙂
Ros:
Tossing corn onto your neighbour’s roof was certainly a blast. I only wish we were having corn tonite.
Sorry I didn’t respond via Google Alerts on my name… but I couldn’t, because I was down at Vaseux Lake, editing my book in my ‘office’.
So, I guess, my Google Alerts are coming up to your place for beers and pizza.
Wishing you the best,
Colin
No corn in the fridge, so beer and pizza it will have to be.. 🙂
See you soon,
Ros
What, is it plaid day? And I thought the only use for spent corn cobs was wiping your a…., now I know what to do with them. My neighbors better watch out.
Jim….
You are scaring me man!!!!
You wipe your WHAT with WHAT????
Corn cobs are only meant for the traditional corn cob toss…Ya gotta head out to the Okanagan Valley and partake in the event
Hmmm…Seems you never know a guy till ya start bloging 🙂
Great to hear from you Jim….
Colin
You know here in the Midwest we find plenty of uses for spent cob’s. Mostly though, they get tossed which seems like the tradition is being taken to new heights (or lows) by our friends north of the border.
Give me a shout in an email since I have misplaced yours. I have something for you.
Cheers,
Jim
i love the kinda light-hearted banter that goes on here. Keep it up ros
Hey Dapo,
This is in no way light-hearted banter…. This is serious business and yaaaaa I am still the reigning corn cob toss champion 🙂
