Not only did we get to enjoy an absolutely fabulous weekend away in Ibiza (which you can read all about), but our team also grew and we gained three new Rocks! This took our TOR family from 18 to 21. Crazy to think I only joined in May 2016 to a small team of 5. It wasn’t long before we out grew our little office and moved into the palace that is the TOR HQ serving us today.

One of the main things that comes up in every Academy session I run, is confidence in posting. It’s what people seem to struggle with most, even if they do have an amazing business, product or service behind them!

Only two years ago in the Summer of 2015, we were sat in our MD’s playroom, (TOR’s very first office), dreaming about the day when we would be able to call ourselves a digital marketing agency. The company started as an affiliate marketing publisher, working with retailers to promote their products through our social media brands and websites.

So as some of you may have heard through the grape vine, us Rocks were lucky enough to be whisked away to Ibiza earlier this month courtesy of our amazing managing director Laura (the legend) Middleton.

It was an early start (up at 4 am) but we were raring to go and very excited to meet so many retailers, especially those we are already working with but haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet.

Every day I see Facebook business pages creating giveaways which break the golden Facebook guidelines. Now I can understand why they do, more entries, more reach, more exposure BUT is this really worth risking losing your Facebook page? That page which has taken you months, years even to grow, work, engage! Creating content, responding to your followers and building a reputation. All for the sake of reaching a few thousand more people.

When I used to hear the term “affiliate marketing” I pictured a confident American telling me how I “too could make $20k in your first month!” A stereotypical get rich quick scheme! Little did I know that this was one dark corner of the affiliate marketing world. The reality is much more credible and is actually happening without you even realising it.
