What Life Could and Should be Like for Internet Marketers
I always imagine what life as a successful affiliate marketer would be like, free of the financial burden we all carry with us for the duration of our entire lives.
Just to be able to wake up in the morning knowing that your whole day is free to do what every you like without the worry of what it’s going to cost.
We all have that desire to succeed in life, just to be happy and free of debt and live your life the way you want with the people you want to spend it with.
Can you and I really accomplish all this through affiliate marketing? Is it really that easy?
Well, the answer is that anyone of us can and many of us do.
The draw back.. well it’s down to you and nobody else.
There’s no need to climb the corporate ladder to get that big pay rise you worked so hard for.
This is all down to you to work through each day of the week, setting your own hours and schedule.
You are your own boss, the CEO, and you choose the way you want to work it.
You can choose the hours you want to work fitting this in with you family life, or you can attack it with everything you have.
All you need to accomplish this is total clarity, comittment, dedication and the ability to switch off from your home life and give your business your full attention it deserves.
Stay away from those distractions like radio, TV and that desire to take a nap for a couple of hours in the afternoon, unless you are planning to stay up late working on your business, which I sometimes do if I am off my work for a weeks holiday.
By continually putting in those hours each day, you will accomplish so much and you will get to your goal much quicker than you would normally.
It can be difficult to earn a steady income at first and even more difficult to stand out amongst other marketers.
Once you have your website, blog, newsletter set up and running and driving traffic it’s only a matter of time before you will succeed.
Remember, this is a long term strategy and it is not for the faint hearted or those that think there will make millions within weeks.
It simple doesn’t work that way.
In the event that you are working all day and evenings as an affiliate marketer, congrats!
You have accomplished so much to get ahead of the game and I wish you all the success you deserve on reaching this milestone.
I certainly will be joining you and I can not wait.
The problem is , I don’t know when that will be.
Just have to keep pushing myself and commit as much time as I can into my business.
Regardless of whether you’re not yet making your full time income, just understanding the idea is enough to put you way ahead of your competition.
You can end up tired, out of shape, stressed and constantly overworked as you just try to make ends meet.
And when it gets that way, you can find yourself wondering if it was all worth it.
You took that big leap, that brave experiment and you became a digital marketer.
And now you may be worse off than you were before.
But don’t worry it’s all part of the learning process and the stages you and I will go through to succeed.
The Dream of Internet Marketing
Here’s what the internet marketing lifestyle can be, if you know how to do it the right way…
For starters, internet marketing can mean having your own business that you take great pride in.
Imagine being on a night out and meeting and making new friends.
It’s just a fantastic feeling when someone asks you:
what do you do for a living?
And you get to tell them: “I run my own online business”.
You’ll have your own digital empire and you’ll feel like an absolute boss.
Imagine being successful enough to wear nice suits and drive nice cars.
It’s a great feeling to be financially successful of course.
But being financially successful through your own grit and inventiveness – that’s a whole other level.
Working online can also give you the amazing freedom that comes from being self-employed.
I recently decided that I was going to take Saturday afternoons off.
Why?
Because I need to switch off from my business even if it’s just for a few hours!
This way, I can relax and spend that little time with my family.
Unfortunately that’s all it is, just 3 or 4 hours as I need to start writing my blog ready for publication on Sunday.
This is what my life is just now, but I know it will not always be this way.
There will be a time when I will be able to take the whole weekend off every weekend.
Now that for me would be progress.
This freedom also affords you a range of other options.
If you are worried about the health implications of a job that involves just sitting down all day for instance, then you can get around this issue by making sure you go to the gym every morning before you start work.
Even better, you currently additionally have the opportunity to work any place you need.
What about turning into a computerized migrant and chipping away at the move?
You can see the world while working out of little bistros and bars along the sea shores.
Then again, you may choose you like your familiar luxuries to an extreme and choose to make an amazing home office that you can be profoundly profitable in.
If you take this to the absolute extreme, then you can find ways to streamline your business or to get it to run itself.
That way, you can earn a purely passive income, meaning that you’ll earn money even when you’re sleeping or up in the air flying to your destination.
Imagine waking up the next day richer?
The recurring commission system is a great way for you to earn long term passive income from various affiliate programs such as Clickbank, Cloudways, Fiverr, GetResponse and Shopify are just a few of the well known programs, of course there are many many more for you to choose from, but I guess you get the idea.
I will leave a lists of the most popular sites here for you to have a look at if you wish.
They will be highlighted in blue with a direct link to the website. I am not associated with any of them and will not benefit in recurring income if you decide to sign up.

The Importance of Discipline
When you are the boss, it is mighty easy to let lifestyle go to pieces and to find yourself a bit ‘all over the place’ as you try to instil structure and discipline in your own routine.
But if you’re starting work at 10am and finishing it at 10pm, then you’re not being as productive as you could be.
If you often find yourself finishing work at 1am, then you need to seriously reconsider your approach.
Not only is this going to prevent you from being able to enjoy time with your friends and family but it will also come across as unprofessional to your clients.
Do you really want to work with someone who is constantly handing work in minutes before the deadline?
Not only that, but you will find yourself constantly tired, strung out and less effective as a result.
So the solution is to start instilling discipline.
That means that you wake up at a set time in the morning and begin work by a set time too.
Likewise, it means that when you’re working, you’re working.
That means no playing games, watching TV or making personal calls.
Don’t fall in the trap of delaying task that can be done later in the day or evenings.
Do what needs to be done first otherwise you will either forget or leave it to another day.
Before you now what day it is you will have forgotten about it and you will start to get lazy.
I know, I have done just this and that’s why I have a written daily schedule that I make up the day before so that I don’t forget and I know exactly what I need to do each day I sit down at my laptop.
The most effective method to Separate Your Day Into Blocks
The principal significant point is to ensure that you do have times of unwinding and fun not too far off.
In the event that you are embarking to work and your arrangement is basically to work positively from first thing until last thing around evening time, at that point your cerebrum is probably going to battle you on that.
Sadly, the greater part of us don’t have full oversight over our cerebrums and feelings and when we neutralize them, that is the point at which we have issues.
On the off chance that you realize that you have 8 hours of strong work ahead with not a single break to be seen, at that point that is the point at which you will battle to remain focussed.
So all things considered, you will isolate your day into particular squares which will incorporate time for you to unwind a lot.
To do this, you need to ponder what it is you need/need to achieve that day and how long you have until it’s an ideal opportunity to close down.
Another piece of valuable data is to realize generally what amount of time you will in general require for finishing any given measure of work.
This thus will at that point permit you to work out how long you need to finish each assignment.
With that information, you’ll at that point have the option to break each errand into a few hour openings and accentuate them with times of rest.
Regardless of whether that ‘rest’ is only 10 minutes or 20 minutes, that is sufficient to give you something to pursue and to offer you a reprieve – which is significant for your wellbeing as much as whatever else.
In Conclusion
At this point, I hope you have some solid thoughts and motivators to begin changing the manner in which you maintain your business.
That implies changing the manner in which you handle customers, it implies ensuring you’re not going through hours and hours of tirelessly hard graft each day and it implies transforming your wellbeing.
Affiliate Marketing is a task that can give you colossal opportunity, monetary achievement, gentle popularity and a mind boggling feeling of fulfillment. To arrive however, you need to chip away at your business just as in it.
Call to Action
In the mean time, have a productive week in your business.
