Newsletter: September 12th

Coming Soon to Bone Fish

As we get ready for the weekend ahead, the members of the Bone Fish offices take a look back at what they`ve achieved over the past few days. Many, many sites have been put together and are now set to be launched, the Programming Department has once again been working harder than ever to polish off the final touches to the new member`s area, and the Affiliate Department has been working on an extra funky feature to hopefully ensure that our affiliates always stay in "the know".

This week, we`re proud to inform you that very, very soon, you`ll not only be kept up-to-date via the admin centre and through these newsletters, but also through our a fantastic new (and very simple-to-use) blog.

Why - you may ask. Well, many of you out there don`t have the time to stop and read our corporate communications and very few of you have the time to stay in touch with your designated personal account manager. Hence why we`ve created The Bone Fish Blog - an online virtual community centre where you`ll always be able to see what`s been going on here in Gibraltar (and see what`s new with the actual team), as well as retrieve old newsletters, affiliate communications and the like. Here in this blog, you`ll also be able to keep a watchful eye on what the media are saying about us, and check out where we appear, in the press and why.

Ultimately, this blog will not only contain all previous email notifications and the latest company news etc, but it`ll also let you know what we, the team, have been up to - because after all, we are actually real people that sit behind these screens and keyboards. At the end of the day, we really hope that this blog will provide our affiliates with a virtual new home where they can always have their say, and most importantly of all, be a place where they can feel free to express their opinions openly and confidently. As such - and when we`re up and running with the blog - we ask that you go ahead and post as many comments as you wish, and make as many suggestions as and when you see fit.

Our blog is your blog, and we`re sure that it`ll give us all a chance to get to know each other a bit better on a more personal level.Keep watching this space - we`ll let you know when it actually goes live and when you can start nattering away.

Until then, have a fantastic weekend and (hopefully) another very productive week...

Kind regards,


The Bone Fish Affiliate Team



Both JULY & AUGUST bonuses have been banked

This summer when it has come to bonus targets, the Bone Fish affiliates really have pushed the boat out. This morning, whilst taking a look at the July bonuses ready for payment via BACS, we stumbled upon the results for August`s targets too. And what we found was simply overwhelming. For the first time ever, our affiliates have hit the 10,000-mark - IN BONUSES ALONE (not commissions AND bonuses combined!!!). As you can imagine, the affiliate department is over the moon at this result and is really very, very pleased that you`ve all pushed your sites to the max to make them work. And so it goes without saying that of course, you`ll all be duly rewarded for your efforts. With this in mind, for this month - and for THIS MONTH only - we`ve decided to shed out August`s bonuses with July`s, to enable you to celebrate your hard work and good fortune in style. So, if you`ve taken part in the 100% Commission Scheme and have smashed your bonus targets, take a look in your bank account around Tuesday of next week (16th) and enjoy two-month`s commission in one! Keep up the good work... and don`t spend it all at once!



The Bone Fish Guide to Online Marketing

Over the past few months we`ve taken the time to introduce you to the basic concepts of online marketing. We`ve looked into a variety of PPC search engines, have advised where best to advertise, and have looked at how to set up and actually run an online campaign. However, this has not been an easy feat - especially when considering that some of you have more background knowledge and experience in this area than others. As a result, this week we`re going to take a different approach with our teaching method and give you the chance to choose between one of two videos - basic and advanced. With this in mind, we hope to have the newbies keep up and not get lost at every corner, and hopefully give the more advanced affiliates something to get their teeth into rather than boring their bones off for the tenth time running. Enjoy!
