Running to Stand Still in Affiliate Marketing

September 21, 2009 by Shawn Collins

I noted a couple weeks ago how there are some parallels between getting into affiliate marketing and becoming a runner.

My point was that you should not expect to make a million or run a marathon right after you start up.

But it makes it easier to have some guidance – so many people need help with the basics.

So anyhow, I’ve got some information for both affiliates and affiliate managers – quick, easy things to apply and get moving. No million dollar ideas, but they’ll set you in the right direction.

Back in July, I ran my first 5k and finished up with a humbling time of 34.24.

Yesterday, I ran my second 5k and improved my time to 30:09.

Compared to experienced runners, my numbers stunk both times. But I’ve made steady progress and achieved a PR (personal record).

Make it your goal to keep improving and you’ll win.
