Working Late at Affiliate Marketing

When the sun sets I start my double life. The full time software engineer, husband, and dad disappears and aspiring internet marketer persona takes control.

There never seems to be enough time to get everything done so I’m usually at the keyboard until I can’t keep my eyes open anymore. Then I usually hit the floor for a few hours sleep. If I’m lucky, I wake up early enough to get a little more done before the family wakes up and my daytime identity takes control.

Last night I was on a roll and was able to stay up the entire night, with a little help from caffine of course. Around 5 AM I noticed Colin was still online and messaged him with a question which eventually turned into a phone call, luckily I changed my cell plan a while back to get cheap calls to Canada : )

I shared some of my frustrations with him about how some of my projects were going and he offered me some pretty good advice. We talked for a while before I had to sign off to go start my work day. We agreed to finish our conversation when we get together at the upcoming Affiliate Summit.

I struggled to stay awake on my way into work but as I drove I processed what we’d talked about and couldn’t help but to feel lucky to have access to someone with so much experience in the field and so willing to share his knowledge with others. I really do think my membership to the Fly on the Wall Club has been the best investment I’ve made in my affiliate marketing “learning on the job” process so far.

As I’ve said before, internet marketing experience is worth its weight in gold!
