Many of you will be giving internet marketing a go while also holding down a full-time job, so learning
how to get the most out of your hours is essential. That said, sometimes it's even more difficult to be
efficient if you have all day to do it so decent time management is also super-critical for full-time
marketers. That’s why in this lesson we’re going to look at 12 Essential Tips to Double Your Productivity
#1: Use time-management software
We recommend ClockingIt.com - it's free and it does the trick.
Add in your ongoing and one-off tasks and select a due date. When you begin working on a task, click on
the "start work" icon and ClockingIt will start the timer. Click on the icon again when you finish working
on the task. You can keep stopping and starting until you finish the task — at which point ClockingIt will
tell you how long you've spent on it.
The software makes it easy to see where you are spending your time and pinpoint potential bottlenecks
(it's quite shocking to realize that you spent five hours of your working week checking your email!). It's
also a great tool to get your staff using too, if/when you employ any.
You may also find it useful to use a countdown timer for when you want to accomplish a lot of work in a
short period of time; try setting your timer for two hours and then working solidly for that time, refusing
any interruptions. Try to this a couple of times a day, and you’ll see big results! (If you're nervous, try 30
minutes to begin with. You can still get an amazing amount done in 30 minutes if you avoid distractions!
Once you master that, increase the time period.
#2: Keep a notebook of ideas
It's easy to get distracted by a brainwave while in the middle of a task. If you follow it up, you can
inadvertently spend hours of time away from what you really needed to get done. Obviously, this isn't

good for productivity — but at the same time, you don't want to ignore and potentially forget about
these good ideas.
Dave Allen, author of the fantastic book Getting Things Done, recommends that busy people keep a
'tickler' file. A 'tickler' file can be a Word document, notebook, or a permanent ClockingI t task. The idea
is that a tickler file is somewhere to quickly jot ideas when they occur to you, so that you don't need to
interrupt what you are doing and you can easily find the idea again in the future.
#3: Set daily micro goals
All too often we get overwhelmed by big tasks and end up floundering around not really achieving
anything at all. The best way to counter this is to make a list of three to five small goals to achieve each
day. You can either make your list the night before or first thing in the morning.
Online task lists are handy, but there is something about actually picking up a pen and writing on paper
that helps to focus your mind. Micro goal setting ensures that you systematically get where you want to
go. And it also helps you to feel l ike you are achieving something, each and every day.
#4: Get rid of clutter
A tidy office equals tidy mind. If you find yourself getting distracted by items on your desk, chat
windows, the phone, or the view out of the window, then simply remove them (or change the position
of your desk). It makes a world of difference to your power of concentration.
#5: Limit your email checking to twice a day
Did you know that, for most people, email is the single biggest interruption? We recommend checking
your email only after midday, as you may discover a lot of fires to put out that are best left until after
you've done some important work. Don't keep checking your email throughout the day; close your email
program or the window in your browser. Concentrate on your current tasks and limit yourself to two
checks a day at the most.
#6: Learn to say 'no'
Being able to stay on task for an extended period is vital for getting a good result, but that can't be done
if you are constantly getting interrupted throughout the day.
The solution is to get ruthless: only say 'yes' to tasks that just can't wait, or that can be easily completed
along with your other goals for the day.
#7: Get the worst job over and done with first thing
Procrastination is very distracting. Get into the habit of tackling the task you dread the most first thing in
the morning, so that your mind is free from niggling worry for the rest of the day.
#8: Pull to-dos out of emails and add them to your task list
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 3
Going back and forth from the original email to check up on what you need to do can waste valuable
minutes, and increase the likelihood that you'll overlook something critical. Make sure you immediately
add tasks from emails to your time-management software.
#9: Use the 80:20 ratio
Eighty percent of your time should be spent 'doing', and no more than twenty percent should be spent
‘learning’. This is an especially important lesson for affiliates! We can be easily suckered into sales
pitches from Internet marketing gurus, and we all know how long those sales pitches can be! If you're
going to give time to these sales pitches, or to reading forums and blogs and newsletters, make sure it
fits in with your schedule for getting things done - set yourself a timed task and keep track of how much
time you spend, then decide whether that time would have been better spent achieving goals on your
task list.
#10. Use a cell phone with a calendar or personal organizer
When you're busy it's easy to forget important appointments. One way of solving this problem i s to add
appointments and meetings to your cell phone calendar and schedule the alarm to go off 15 minutes
beforehand.
#11. Keep a separate to-do list for personal matters
If you suddenly realize there is something that you need to do that has nothing to do with work, write it
down in a separate personal to-do list and come back to it outside of work time. Keeping your personal
life organized ensures it doesn't overflow into your business day.
#12. Delegate as much as you can
Don't hoard tasks that your staff or other people are more than capable of carrying out for you. Some
people find letting go of pet activities is tough at first, but it's very necessary in order to free up more
time.
Also, make sure that you have set times each day for appointments with staff and/or joint venture
partners. This is critical if you want to avoid constant interruptions throughout the day.
So there are 12 tips for doubling productivity! It's easy to downplay or put off organizing your business,
but setting up efficient business practices is just as important as good SEO or pay per click strategies, so
make sure that you take these seriously!
II. Affiliate marketingstrategies
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 4
Affiliate marketing is a low-cost
way for merchants to build
awareness and showcase their
products and services. The model
is simple; it works as a
commission-based referral
system. A partner or affiliate
markets a merchant's products
for a "piece of the pie."
Affiliate marketing experts often make an income that can tally over five figures
per month, however only 1 to 5% of thousands of marketers achieve this level.
When an affiliate reaches this elite level they are often referred to as a "super"
affiliate.
How does one become a super affiliate? Can anyone do it? Super affiliates have
common tactics that they embrace and put into place. Anyone can become a
super affiliate, but it will not come without blood, sweat, and a hefty time
commitment. The typical super affiliate possesses the following traits:
Persistence
Patience
Thirst for Knowledge
These three traits combined with the following strategy gives you the formula for
the makings of a "super" affiliate.
1. Find a Unique Niche
The mistake that many affiliate marketing hopefuls have in common is that they
try to offer everything under the sun rather than focusing on a specific niche
market. Do not scatter your efforts, focus on your niche, promote it, and sell it
well.
2. Search Engine Marketing
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 5
Once you've built your affiliate storehouse you will need to promote it. Many
affiliates use pay-per-click engines. I suggest that you learn how to achieve organic
search results or hire a search engine marketing company. This will save you from
spending all your profits on pay-per-click engines. Only use pay-per-click engines
if you know what you are doing, otherwise all your profits may end in the hands of
Google Adwords or Overture.
3. Know Your Product, Know Your Audience
Create a resource. By taking the time to learn about the products and/or services
that you are offering you can create information that builds your credibility. That
credibility builds trust. If your viewers do not have trust in you more than likely
they will not purchase from your storehouse. If you want more information on the
psychological process that an online buyer goes through I suggest that you read
my article on the Five Levels of Internet Marketing and the Sales Process. This will
help you in creating a web site that converts well, which in return will increase
your cash flow.
4. Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket
Promote products from different merchants. This way if you have a problem with
receiving payment from a merchant, or their products do not convert well the
effects on your business will be minimal. Watch out for exclusivity agreements;
remember this is your business. Protect yourself and diversify so that you do not
feel the famine effect if something goes wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong
with promoting niche products from different merchants.
5. Seek Knowledge and Embrace Change
If you are familiar with Internet marketing at all you know that what worked three
months ago may not work today. Stay on top of the trends. Seek knowledge, start
by learning something new about affiliate marketing daily. For example remember
those marketing tools called "banner" that use to drive sales at an astronomical
rate a few years ago? Well those banners developed a term called "banner
blindness." That means most online viewers will not click on banners even if they
Performance review phrases comments/ free download examples Page 6
do pertain to what they are looking for. To be a "super" affiliate you must always
spend time reading, learning, and embracing the changes in Internet marketing.
6. Don't Give Up
It's hard to do, and most of the time those dabbling in affiliate marketing give up
way too soon. Monitor your statistics, watch to see what is working and what is
not. Make changes when necessary. Do one thing daily to promote your storehouse
and be patient. Before you know it you will start getting payments.
Remember that it will not happen overnight. Encompass and develop the
persistence, patience, and knowledge. Then follow the tactics I've mentioned
above and you are on your way to becoming a "super" affiliate.
