Elaine is an all round affiliate marketing veteran and serial entrepreneur based in Redcar.  Credited as a mentor and inspiration behind some of today’s successful affiliate marketeers, Elaine runs an empire of successful businesses including an online resource for parents, a women’s lifestyle site and a children’s bedding and bedroom accessories retail company.

Elaine kickstarted her move into the internet in 1999 (or “t’internet” as she likes to say), setting up Allkids.co.uk as a hobby site when she spotted a gap in the market for a comprehensive online resource for parents.  Three years later, Elaine discovered affiliate marketing, and the rest as they say, is history.  She now runs the business as a family concern and has managed to successfully bridge the gap between online and offline as a bricks and clicks empire.  As if that wasn’t enough, Elaine has also branched out as a merchant, running a successful affiliate program of her own through the Children’s Rooms website.

Away from the daily duties of a business woman, Elaine is a wife, mother, grandma and all round good egg.  Originally hailing from Leeds, she’s a Leeds United fan, despite their best days being well behind them (although Elaine tells us to “Watch This Space”).  She also has a penchant for tiaras and Corrie, and her favourite song is “There’s no one quite like Grandma” by St. Winifred’s School Choir (or Dom Hodgson & Jason Brockman if you’re at the A4U Expo closing night party!).

As an entrepreneur operating in such a diverse business environment, Elaine has wide ranging skillsets, but it’s this coupled with her straight talking and down-to-earth approach that have enabled her to succeed in the industry, and we’re delighted to welcome Elaine to the Affiliate Doctor’s panel joining fellow business ladies Kirsty and Joanna.

Welcome on board Elaine.
