How are your time management skills? Are you someone who gets lost in cyberspace sometimes and needs help staying on task? Do you have the equivalent of Internet ADHD? A timer might be in order.  The internet is a vast playground that can detract you from work and as someone who wants to earn an income online, you need to stay on focus.

Beware of Productivity Traps!

If you’re apt to go off to read a blog post or update your MySpace, Facebook or Twitter status and suddenly realise time has slipped away and you’ve been playing in cyberspace for the last hour and a half instead of working, a timer can help you. Set up a little egg timer by your computer and allocate time for tasks.  Here are a few tasks you might choose to do it for:

• Social bookmarking
• Link Building
• Bum Marketing
• Blog comments
• Social networking
• Keyword research
• Chatting

They say you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket but it’s also important that you don’t bite off more than you can chew too quickly.

When deciding to start your affiliate marketing career, it can be tempting to sign up for everything under the sun and go crazy.  The problem with this is that it’s the equivalent of trying to juggle with not enough hands and too many balls.  Instead, consider starting slow, perfecting your skills and then adding to the mix.

Affiliate Marketing: Fine Tune Your Skills

Concentrate your efforts on one program at a time until things are kind of on autopilot. You can always come back later and tweak or improve your efforts on a money making program but until you’re making money consistency on one program, don’t be tempted to start on something new. There are so many profitable niches and programs that it can be difficult to be patient but patience and focus will pay off.

Start off With Small Goals

If you want to sign up for five different programs, you might set small goals of trying to hit specific milestones with one program before adding another to the mix.  By learning the ropes and fine tuning your skills in one area, you can move forward confidently into a new revenue stream before long.
