Zac Sunderland is a courageous young man of 16 years of age who is about to sail across the world alone in about 3 days. If he completes his journey, he will be the youngest man ever to circumnavigate the globe by yacht and breaking the world record as the youngest to do so.
This is a truly an amazing task considering the enormous responsibility and danger that is ahead of him all I can say is "Godspeed!"
You're probably asking: "What doesn this have to do with affiliate marketing? Well, consider that if this young man has a blog, He definitely will have a following wanting to know how he is doing on his trip and with this being the internet age, there is definitely an opportunity to grasp. I left a comment on his blog the other day volunteering my services on what they needed to do to create an income on the blog. Thats if if he keeps it up to date with his were abouts, I would consider the following:

1. Convert the entire site to a blog, self hosted and use Wordpress as the main software of choice. Those who know the software can see the advantages to this besides the ease of use and available space needed to sell advertising or affiliate ads.

2. Keep readers in the know by posting regularly, its not often that people sail around the world and have the ability to let the world wide web know about it.

3. As the trip nears its end and is close to completing the journey, start selling ad space on the site at a higher rate. People would genuinely be interested in knowing how close he is to completing the journey and there would be more traffic to the site.


Zac is in for an extraordinary journey and I do wish him the best. If anyone reads this post and has more ideas on this, I would appreciate to hear about it.
