What if there was a system to approaching all of the issues you might face as an affiliate?  Whether it was finding a niche, finding products, creating a blog, getting subscribers, getting traffic , or even getting sales. I want to give you 10 quick tips you can use and help others even when they start to deal with problems or roadblocks in affiliate marketing.

1. Choose A Place To Start

Quit worrying about how much work or how big the problem or issue is. Finding a starting point is a big step in your road to progress. Getting this first step accomplished can be a major factor in getting the results you need. If there is an end surely there is a beginning.

2. Divide It Into Parts

It can get mind-boggling usually to frustration, when there is a huge problem or project that feels like a mountain of work. Make the first step to actually divide the project into parts or steps. This will help you feel a sense of accomplish and achievement as you complete each part. e.g. day 1 create a squeeze page .

3. Create  A Plan

In order to help yourself get organized this step will help you see how you are going to put the parts together. You will also see what is needed to get you from part one (1) to part two (2). It will also help you to manage your time as you decide what you will get done each hour or day, depending on the size of the project.

4. Know Your Limits

You must know what is possible for you as an individual. Don’t expect to get the same results as the experts. Maybe you want to make $5.000/ month, but how about getting the first $100? The $5,000/ month affiliate may not tell you what it took to get to that point, he may have a bigger budget to market on facebook .  Know how much you can do and get accomplished and the put your best foot forward.

5. Take Time Out

As much as you want to get through this issue problem or issue you must take time out. Add it to your schedule and plan. You must remember that you are human and that this is beneficial even to your health. Make sure they are fun and rewarding. Allow yourself to be refreshed and  revived. Just be discipline enough to get back to work. (smile)

6. Getting Past A Roadblock

If you get stuck e.g. creating an article or cannot get inspired, learn how to take a walk outside, play a game, listen to some music or do something totally different to get inspired, do what works best for you. An important step back can turn out to be the best way to see the whole picture and get inspired to move on.

7. Get Some Sleep

Yes even sleep has to be scheduled sometimes, especially if your dealing with a big issue. This will help you to concentrate and do good work. It can also be a great time to get over writers block or a fear of failure. Tiredness will never allow you to put out quality work. Maybe the reason why you are taking a long time on your project is because of a need for rest. It could be that you are not mentally sharp as you can be.

8. Know What’s More Important

Not knowing where to place things can be crucial to your decisions and cause stress. Focusing on the wrong details can consume you. Don’t let choosing the color of your blog take priority over  its content.

9. Ask for Help

I’m sure you must realize by now that none of us has the solution for everything. With that in mind, there are others out there that can assist you in finding a solution to your problem or situation. Yes many have already passed the road you are now traveling on. Whether it be through searching the internet, checking out a forum, or from someone you already know. The only thing is you must be willing to do is ask for help.
