"Looking at PPC with 2020 vision"
Alix Charles, Alix Digital (https://alixdigital.com/)

Every new year introduces a wealth of pay-per-click trends, features and changes. As we take the plunge into a new decade, what can we expect? Alix’s talk will explore predictions and expected changes to look out for in the year ahead.

From the organiser: Alix is a very smart cookie on the PPC front. It's been a long while since we had a dedicated PPC talk, so this should be very good.

"How to monetise traffic with affiliate marketing"
Sarah Tamsin (https://sarahtamsin.com/)

An overview of successful affiliate marketing strategies that you can use to earn income by blogging or creating digital content.

I have a portfolio of 7 blogs and websites, I built them all from scratch starting in 2015 and I now earn my full-time income via these websites with only organic traffic. This talk will cover affiliate marketing strategies and other methods you can use to earn extra income by blogging or creating digital content.

I'll share my own successes and the mistakes I made, as well as practical tips for finding profitable keywords, growing your organic traffic and looking for affiliate opportunities.

From the organiser: What a great way to kick off 2020 by discussing potential side-incomes via affiliate marketing. From the chats I've had with Sarah, she's extremely switched-on, so expect to learn a lot from this talk - even if you're not necessarily interested in affiliate marketing but want to up your SEO game.

LIVE SITE REVIEW

As usual, we will be analysing and auditing a volunteered website live on the night! A few days beforehand we'll announce who it is (via a Meetup mailout) so that you can research them beforehand if you like.

This time, we have a NEW site review sponsor: Sitebulb (https://sitebulb.com/)! We'll be using their website crawler software to dig up as many SEO 'quick wins' as we can in the limited time that we have.
