Blog Tagged - 8 things you didn’t know about me
Well its happened before and its now happened again, cheers Vlad! Yes I’ve been blog tagged to share 8 things you didn’t know about me. So here’s the rules first followed by my 8 things.
“Each person posts the rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people and then visits those peoples’ sites and comments letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do.”
1. I have a weakness for coffee, and can’t get through the day without a few espressos. I own this coffee machine to quench my thirst for the stuff.
2. I paid $75 for Jane May to review my blog. Why? Well you’ve seen her picture haven’t you? Joking aside, its part of an ongoing project I’m undertaking that deals with different ways to build blog readership and inbound links. More later.
3. I’ll be participating - sitting on various panels and running one or two of my own at the A4U Expo this October.
4. I used to be a DJ.
5. I’m addicted to shopping - especially for jeans, my favourite designers are: True Religion, 7 For All Mankind, Nudie, Citizens of Humanity, Rock and Republic and William Rast. Now you know what to get me for Christmas.
6. I left school at aged 16 and my first job was working in a record store earning £35 a week on a YTS scheme.
7. I have an extremely rare medical condition called Periodic Paralysis - a couple of months ago it took me 3 hours to get out of bed and when I did manage to get up I kept falling over, and even fell down the stairs. Ouch. I’m getting mended now though.
8. Remember Fruitopia from Coca-Cola? Around the time of the UK launch I won a competition to think up of a new flavour. My winning entry was called Cherry Orange Opus. The prize was a years supply of the stuff and a specially commissioned trophy comprising of a bottle complete with my own unique Cherry Orange Opus label.
OK, so here are the lucky 8 I’m going to tag:
Kirsty McCubbin
Chris Frost
Shawn Collins
Clarke Duncan
Stephen Pratley
Jane May
Amit Mehta
James Little
What I’m listening to right now: Monica Feat. Swizz Beatz - “Raw”

Welcome to my blog. My name is Kieron Donoghue and I run UK Offer Media Ltd. I thought it would be fun to post a daily (well hopefully daily) blog, writing about my experiences in Internet Marketing and more specifically Affiliate Marketing. I'll include some personal stuff too, probably about my other passions, music and cars. Please feel free to post your comments and thoughts too.

A $75 well I would say :). I do find that these kind of memes help building up some links as well. Thanks for participating!

Big fan of jeans too. You checked out Acne, Tsubi (now Ksubi) and April 77?

[...] Kieron tagged me in an ongoing game that seems to be expanding, last time I saw it it was just 5 things, so I’ll have to put my thinking hat on. “Each person posts the rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people and then visits those peoples’ sites and comments letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do.” [...]

Hi Kieron -
I replied to a similar blog tag at http://blog.affiliatetip.com/archives/affiliate-marketing-blog-tag-five-things-you-didnt-know-about-shawn-collins/
Since I already pitched in 5 of them, I’ll add three more here:
6. I’ve got four children (Caitlin, 8), Alexandra (5 1/2), Kerrigan (3 1/2) and Jack (nearly 1).
7. I studied RTVF (radio, television and film) in college, but the major was cancelled due to lack of funds. So I’m very happy to be playing with video again these days.
8. I was named (my middle name, Brendan) after Brendan Behan.
