5 Things You Should do Everyday to Help You Become an Affiliate Marketing Expert

It’s amazing how we live in a time and day now where I can be a 1000 miles from home and yet still be able to stay on top of my online business as if I was in my home office.

So it got me thinking, I’ve used a lot of resources and tools for time management that could also benefit you as well.

One of the reasons we all love Affiliate Marketing is that we can work from anywhere in the world, right?

So for today’s blog post, I’ve decided to share 5 of my top keys to help you get more results each day, turn time into money, and become an Affiliate Marketing “Rockstar”.

So read on and enjoy!

5 Things You Should do Everyday to Help You Become an Affiliate Marketing Expert

First, let’s agree that we all have the same 24 hours in a day.  So there’s no such thing as “not having time” for something… it’s more likely to be that whatever it is that you’re trying to do is not a high enough priority!

I remember what my dad used to say to us as kids about this, it went like this:

“If You Really Want to do Something….I Mean REALLY WANT TO DO IT…You Will Make The Time To Do It”

The fact of the matter is this,  some of us are able to use the same 24 hours to end up homeless and others to become successful businessmen.

So actually,  it’s not really about time management as such, it’s more about lifestyle management. The more you can learn to manage yourself, prioritize and be proactive, the better control you will have over your time (and money!)

So here are the 5  Personal Management Keys I have used to become a successful affiliate marketer and live the perfect lifestyle working from my laptop wherever I happen to be!

1. I Wake Up Early EVERY Morning

Many different research studies have now proven that ONE of the things successful people have in common across different cultures and businesses is that they wake up early.

One of the biggest benefits of waking up early is being able to do all of your important tasks quietly before the “hustle and bustle” of the day begins to steal your energy.

I use my early morning time to pray, meditate, exercise, and catch up on communication so I know what’s going on in my affiliate marketing business and therefore where I should focus my attention every day.

Figure out what’s really important to you for your own happiness and then make sure you wake up early each day and get those things done before everybody else’s day starts.

2. Make A Money-Making-Priority To Do List EVERYDAY

Not all tasks are created equal. One thing that has helped me become successful is that I am really good at ignoring communication and tasks that do not make me money, and instead focus on the tasks that bring in revenue.

So, every evening just before I go to bed, I make a “Money-Making-Priority To Do List” and regardless of all the texts, messages, emails, calls I may get the following morning, I make sure that all the tasks on my priority list are complete before I deal with other demands.

My Money-Making-Priority To Do List usually has 5 or 6 key things that I need to be doing to grow my business, bringing in more sales, or looking into other opportunities that can help me get to the next level.

So get clear on what’s going to make you money everyday and make sure you get those things done before getting distracted by every text, Facebook update, email, phone call, meeting and anything else that can distract you!

3. Exercise EVERYDAY!

Another critical part of a Daily Success Routine is a daily work out.  The physical activity keeps your blood flowing and mood elevated.  It helps keeps you grounded and helps you to deal with the stresses that inevitably come from running a successful affiliate marketing business (actually the only REAL stress that I now have is deciding what to have for lunch:-)

Make sure you do some kind of physical activity everyday.  Not only will you live longer, you’ll be more ready to deal with anything the day throws your way.

4. Get In The “Flow” State When You Work

Another thing I highly recommend,  is to perform all similar tasks together.

As an example, I answer all my emails, do all my phone calls, and line up all my meetings back to back, in chunks.  This way I get through everything in one shot without switching from one activity to another.

This allows me to focus, build momentum, and save time. I ‘ve learned to be proactive with my agenda,  schedule everything and respond instead of reacting to any given situation.

Organize your day in a way that allows you to do different tasks in groups and that way you’ll be in FLOW rather than going from one type of task or activity to another and trying to keep up with it all.

5.  Drop, Delegate, Or Defer Things Before Doing Them

When something needs to get done, the first question I ask myself is can I drop it? Meaning, is it going to make me money or not?  If not, I usually just don’t do it…

Then if I have to do it, I figure out if I can delegate it or outsource it to one of my team members.  If I can’t delegate it and it will take me more than 5 minutes,  I defer it to a different time and schedule it in my calendar to do later.

If something takes me less than 5 minutes, usually I just do it right then and there and get it off my to do list.

So you can do the same too: Just see if you can eliminate a task, give it to someone else to do, or schedule it for later.  Just remember,  if you can master your daily success routine, you can master your week, month, year, and importantly YOUR LIFE!

Ok, that’s it for this blog post. I hope you found it useful, but more importantly use these 5 success tips every day and you’ll soon see success coming to you!

All the best.
