Some affiliates have made their predictions for the year ahead (Keith Bond, Kieron) and of course there’s OLD’s very own “2009 – Year Ahead” but if you like predictions then head on over to Chinwag where there’s a massive list of links for predictions about what’s going to happen in 2009 for Social Media, Mobile (it’ll be big in 2009 you know), Affiliate, Search (PPC/SEO) & Email Marketing plus many more.

One cool prediction “post” comes from Rosalind Gardner (Super Affiliate Handbook) who did her predictions for affiliate marketing in 2009 via video. It’s actually quite useful with some tips for all affiliates – especially those who concentrate on PPC. Rosalind believes AM will have a rosey time in 2009!

I really would love to do more video stuff in 2009, not necessarily for OLD, but just in general. I just need the time and perhaps a better face for film! Perhaps that should be my challenge for 2009 (usually it’d be learn Spanish, but I’m no nearer doing that)? It’s notable that US affiliates are more comfortable with their video blogs than UK affiliates – so my prediction for 2009 is that we’ll see the first regular UK video affiliate blogger.

If you’ve made some random predictions for 2009 then drop Chinwag a line with your prediction post and it’ll (probably) be added to the list. It’ll be interesting to revisit in 12 months time and see just who was the Mystic Meg and who got the predictions right!
