Affiliate Project Groundhog day – how my day is structured
Affiliate Project has been going now since the end of January 2009. We update this blog with stats and updates on our progress, but came across another part time bloggers site and they asked the question – how do you spend your days as an Affiliate? Thanks Joe (howigotrich.net) for the idea
Myself and Paul (partner in crime, purely Internet Marketing) are constantly talking about how busy we are now we are doing Affiliate Marketing stuff.
So here is my answer, I’m sure Paul will post his in the next few days as he’s having a couple of days off to spend with his family.
5:45am alarm goes off, think shite where is my phone and then quickly hit the snooze button.
6:00am get out of bed, jump in shower to wake myself up, regret staying up late the night before and thinking I spent way too long on the laptop and feel bad for neglecting the misses most of the night.
6:10am chuck on clothes if ironed, otherwise head downstairs, iron clothes, make sandwiches for work, get gym gear ready, then rush to work for 7am
7:00am – meant to be at work as a Tech Support Engineer, suppose to be available for any live calls.
7:10am – whoops, arrived at work, check the Queue for any calls, if no calls, check e-mails and my widgets (buy.at and Affiliate Window) to see any earnings from the day/night before.
9:00am – meet up with Paul for a break aka morning meeting to discuss our daily Affiliate tasks, although we mostly end up talking about ‘when we can do this full time, we could just meet up on the golf course, then to the clubhouse every Monday. Pipe dreams I know, but its a nice thought 
9:30am – back to desk to do boring support cases
12:00am – lunch time, most often head to the gym
1:00pm – back to my desk, hope there is no Customer’s chasing, if not to busy, try and do any updates to sites, put any new ideas into google docs, check google reader to keep updated with other affiliates blogs
3:30pm – leave work, either head home to play with 18month old daughter or pick her up from nursery then feed her, spend the next few hours with her and my wife
7:00pm – daughter goes down for the night, myself or my wife will cook dinner, eat dinner then tidy up
8:00pm – Sit in front of the TV, trying not to spend too much time away from my wife, although this is probably when I’m least responsive as I’m focused on Affiliate stuff and finding it difficult to work with TV distractions and tiredness from the busy day. I try and spend this time trying to finish off niche sites, trying to improve existing sites, whether it be SEO or how to make them convert better. But I must admit most of the time is done doing research, trying to think of what could be a big earner to help reach the ultimate goal and do this full time earning a full time wage. Also I must check out other affiliate sites to get ideas of how they do things as they are obviously doing ok.
11:00-12:00pm – eventually close the lid on the laptop, think more to do the next day
I’d be very intersted to hear how other part time or even full time Affiliates days are spent whilst doing Affiliate Marteting.
