Best Way to Learn Affiliate Marketing Productivity – 7 Ways

Best Way to Learn Affiliate Marketing Productivity – 7 Ways

Following are 7 great ways that affiliate marketing can increase your productivity in and outside of your business.  After reading through the details leave a comment about which of the options is the single best way to learn affiliate marketing productivity in your opinion.  Feel free to leave other ideas too as you make your comment.

Implement these ideas and one’s like them to see the best results and success in life, in love and in your business.

Productivity Ideas for Affiliate Marketers

  1. Time Management Software

    The tasks involved in affiliate marketing often require that you use time management software. This means that you will get to add ongoing and on-off tasks to the software and select the due day.

    Such software tools will make it easy for you to manage your time and pinpoint all potential bottlenecks (and get rid of them). By so doing, your productivity will undoubtedly increase.

 

Making sure that all tasks in and out of your business are correctly managed within their time requirements can drive excellent end results for you to be able to enjoy.  Many people don’t care for their lives being structured, and I would be among them, but the more you allow this process to work for you the better advantages that are experiences.

  1. Daily Goals

All too often, affiliate marketing experts get overwhelmed by the amount of tasks they have to accomplish.  There is the content to write and publish as well as images to find before posting as well as looking for new products to promote and keeping track of how everything is doing.  This is just the tip of the ice-berg and doesn’t even take into consideration off-page type work like blog commenting and posting just to name two.

Because of so much responsibility, some “would be” successful Affiliate Marketers end up floundering.

The best way to deal with this problem within your Affiliate Marketing business is to make a list of 3 to 5 small goals that you want to achieve every day.  Then, as they are accomplished check them off so you can review your day and see that you did accomplish that which you were targeting.

By so doing, you are going to increase your productivity as well as decrease the unnecessary frustrations you are feeling with your Affiliate Marketing business.

  1. Colleagues

While affiliate marketing, you might be compelled to set out on your own and quit your regular job.  For many this is the eventual goal but it is a mark of wisdom to allow this to happen at the right time instead of adding undo stress to the startup of your affiliate marketing enterprise.

The good news about working alone is that there are far fewer distractions.  Unfortunately, that is also the bad news, colleagues can help to break up the monotony within your day to day operations if time being spent with them does not go overboard.

Making sure that you approach your affiliate marketing business with the right mix is a sure recipe for success.  We are not meant to be islands unto ourselves but your peers can rob you of time in accomplishing a matter of import.

  1. To Do Lists

Yet another way that you can succeed better as an Affiliate Marketer is by creating a to do list of daily activities that need to be accomplished.  For example, you know you need to go through your email but when do you find the time.  With a to do list in place you can meet each obligation head-on and systematically work through everything.

Just like with your affiliate marketing business, creating a to do list for what you want to accomplish in your personal life simply makes sense.  As each item within the day gets checked off you will find yourself gaining ground on responsibilities that have been being left undone.

  1. Personal Life

I work from home.

It has both advantages and disadvantages.  The advantages of not having to work 9 to 5 while you punch someone else’s time clock are obvious.  The disadvantages are that the kids, your animals and yes even your wife can think that since you are at home this means you are available.  This sets a bad precedence for accomplishing what needs to be done.

Yes, your personal life is important but it must remain in its rightful place.  If it doesn’t then what you are accomplishing within your daily grind can become more than a little out of control.  Unfortunately, this can happen very quickly and seemingly without warning.

  1. Resources

To be good at affiliate marketing you need to do far more than simply create a blog and write to it.  For example, there are social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and more that need to be managed.  Using resources to streamline your activities is a sure recipe for success both within and without your business.

When it comes to social media management consider the power of tools like:

  • Buffer (https://buffer.com/)
  • HootSuite (https://hootsuite.com/)
  • Later (https://later.com/)
  • BoardBooster (https://boardbooster.com/)
  • Tailwind (https://www.tailwindapp.com/)

Among other things, these tools will help you to learn how to schedule your social media and blogging posts ahead of time.  Fail to plan and plan to fail.  It is the way that it works.

By planning ahead for the coming week and not worrying about looking for the next thing to post on these platforms, you can easily increase your productivity. Some tools you can use for scheduling posts include:

  1. Strategic Investments

As an affiliate marketer, you will – more likely than not – be pressed for time. You certainly won’t have millions of hours to scour the internet or work on tedious projects that focus on how to fix the latest problem in your business.

Although you will need to be thrifty, you also must switch from those free tools to a couple of paid ones to maximize your affiliate marketing efforts. These tools will ensure that your business starts taking off faster than when you were stuck on online freebies.

Here are a couple of smart investments that will boost your productivity.

A) Email Automation: MailChimp (https://mailchimp.com/)

MailChimp, like other online tools, offers a free plan. However, this does not include automation. For you to access these special features, all you must do is invest $10. Try it out today and watch as it helps you boost your email marketing efforts.

B) Social Media Scheduling: Buffer

This hack will save you a great deal of time. Upgrade to the paid Buffer plan at only $10 a month and enjoy the productivity benefits that come with being able to schedule 100 posts for every social media channel you are using in your affiliate marketing.

C) Education: Trello for Business (https://trello.com/business-class)

Designed by the Think Creative Collective, this course will only cost you $29. It will help you organize your affiliate marketing. It will also provide you with built in cards and board templates that will make it easier for you to organize your business.

    Wow, another post packed full of helpful information, strategies and resources. I love that you share enough to get people interested in thinking, but also leave room for people to dig a little on their own. When something interests me, I love digging deeper, which is probably why I do so well with my online businesses and blog. Because I am willing to take the time, put in the work and apply success strategies!

    Thanks again for sharing your insights and wisdom!

      It is in the sharing that I find ideas and thoughts that I personally hadn’t considered before. Some say that the one who learns the most within an education process is the teacher. As it relates to my affiliate marketing business I would 100% agree. I’ve made major improvements in my own business simply because I was willing to be open with what other people needed to know in-order to be better Affiliate Marketer’s in their own right.

    “Guy's professionalism towards SEO is unmatched. Providing realistic expectations in a proper time frame and budget. Guy is a wealth of knowledge and is certainly a top expert within not only local SEO but everything SEO. I look forward to working with Guy for many years to come.”
    Sam

    “My website had no hits, now its booming, We started getting lots of calls, Excellent Job, Thank You !!!"
    Alex

    “Guy is one of the most passionate SEO professionals out there. SEO isn't just his job, it's his vocation. He also focuses on the most current form of SEO in my opinion and that is Local SEO. I threw a very tough project at Guy with a very short timeline to rank. Given the circumstances, Guy did everything possible to rank the project in the shortest time possible. His word is worth its weight in gold. In the SEO industry which can be very shady, this is incredibly important. Especially when not dealing face to face with an individual. Guy is extremely available and very personable. His ability to adapt his vast knowledge of Local SEO to develop a strategy particular to my project puts him over the top.”
    Nathan

    “I went searching for an SEO person. I did not want to be thrown in a template or into a company that mass-produces their SEO work. I wanted an independent professional that would work with me personally. I got that in Guy. He followed up his initial email with a personal professional phone call. He laid out a smart strategic game plan and quickly gave my website a strong foundation coordinating my google accounts, video, keywords, and blog. My website foundation is rock solid. I would highly recommend Guy as a powerful resource for your SEO work.”
    Ed

    “When I started working with Guy, I had a Google Maps listing that was languishing. I really wanted to get my listing to show up on page 1 in Google Maps. That’s when I had the good fortune of coming across Guy — not only is he responsive, communicative, and involved, but he knows what he’s doing. Within a month or so, Guy had conjured up his online magic tricks and got us into position 3 on Google Maps, landing us squarely on page 1. I’m just thrilled with the results that Guy was able to achieve — and let’s be honest, we hire folks like Guy to get us results. And Guy delivers. Can’t recommend him enough.”
    Dr. Carl
