Productivity cycles in affiliate marketing

Posted by dangerbrown in July 23rd 2009  

I’ve been pretty unavailable and inactive these last two weeks. But now I’m back from hiatus.

I’m constantly torn between work and family, and family has been winning out lately. I pretty much took the last two weeks off, but work has been nagging at me. So watch out! I’ll be making things happen now.

This sort of work/relax cycle is normal for me. Maybe I’m a little manic depressive. In any case, I gotta get back to work to pay the mortgage. You’ll be hearing more from me in the near future.

Do you find your own productivity level cycles? Got any good tricks for me to maintain high levels of productivity? I’d love to hear them. Please comment.

Working with someone always keeps productivity high… it gives you someone else to be accountable to.

Good to hear you are getting back into the game. One thing I’ve learned is get out the house if you have family around. I’ve been going to the library and it’s great because I can focus without any disruptions from wife and baby! Hopefully, there’s a location you can go close to your home that has free Wi-Fi.

Goals and Lists. Creating a plan, and something to check off greatly helps me. Also deadlines, I work well with deadlines.

Get an office space organised for yourself, away from family/tv/door bells. Treat your affiliate marketing efforts as a true business because that’s what they should be. Create a work schedule for research, design/build, promotion, interaction (read forums & blogs with your coffee) and housekeeping (e.g. backups, removing old downloads, organising your files)

Danger,

Family doesn’t necessarily have to hurt your earnings— if anything, it will cause you to focus with the limited time you have. Thus, you may get even MORE done versus had you not had constraints in place.

For example, blogging is something people complain about not having time for. You can literally bang out a post in 3 minutes, right? So even if you’re ultra busy, if you can spare 60 minutes (just one measly hour) in a month, you can have 20 blog posts per month.

That’s what I do— except my posts take 10 minutes, maybe 30 if it’s a long guest post. This email could have been a blog post by itself– another 2-3 minute example.

Love to hear what you think!

Dennis

There are times we all can slack and it’s important that we let that happen every now and again. If we didn’t take a little time to ourselves occasionally we’d all be nuts, anyway, what I usually do to keep focused is listen to music. Helps me maintain focus on my work.
