A Normal Week In The Life Of A Super Affiliate

Monday, Jan 28th, 2008 by Jonathan Volk

I always loved reading these posts and so I decided to post my own version.

My week generally consists of about 3 really large time groups that take up most of my time: Work, Church, Maria (Girlfriend) / Family.

Saturdays, Mondays, and Tuesdays are the only full days of work that I do. All the other days are part time hours that are involved in church or family events.

On a normal Monday, I generally sleep in till about 8:30 or 9:00. I’m not doing this because I’m lazy but because I generally am up working really late the previous night. For some reason I seem to get a lot of work done in the midnight hours.

After I wake up, I go get fixed up a bit. Brush my teeth, wash up, etc. I dont like to stay in my boxers / pajamas all day as it seems to have some odd effect on me that makes me less productive. I guess the saying dress for success has some truth to it? Heh.

After this, I generally turn on some music and get the emails going, do a couple quick checks on some stats, and then hit the ground running. On Tuesdays, this is the time I would then work out for about 30 minutes. I used to really be in shape but affiliate marketing has made my focus go more towards work. The resulting less physical activity has taken a bit of a toll and I gained around 15 pounds. I’m still fairly skinny though and I’m working on turning that 15 lbs into muscle.

After this I get working on some campaigns. This is the time where I optimize, split test ads, work on any small changes and see what I can do to increase.

After working on all these tweaks and answering emails, it’s about lunch time. I need to work on optimizing my time to be a bit more productive before lunch, but I enjoy slower mornings.

For lunch I like to take an entire hour to relax. I find it actually helps me work better even if I am really busy. I usually have a sandwich and a coke or a jones soda. The best tasting soda in the world is the Jones berry lemonade – If you have not tried it, I HIGHLY recommend it. I think you can find them @ Safeway or Sam’s club.

After lunch is when I get the majority of my campaign research and development done. It’s the time bracket I take to read up on new niches I’m looking into and finding new ways to get more traffic to my high converters.

That brings me to a little tip: If you find a high converting offer and you’re making 100%+ profit expand the niche as much as possible. Any means of profitable traffic should be explored. That’s a little extra freebie for ya!

The rest of my day really is spent working on campaigns, dinner time, and about an hour (or three) of relax time before bed. I generally watch some TV and then read my Bible. After all this, I then set everything else aside and get out my list. What do I need to get done? I write out a list and then order them from A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, etc. All the A’s need to be done before I do the B’s. All the B’s before the C’s and so on.

Listing what you need to get done is the sure way to optimize your productivity.

If you’re struggling and a part time affiliate looking to become full time, take this advice from someone who does it full time. Use your time as wisely as possible as it’s the one thing you’ll never, ever get back. Itemize what you need to do and organize it into importance. Write your vision and make it clear.

So you’re probably wondering what I do on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays?

Well on those days I volunteer at my church from 8:00 AM till 1 PM in the office. It’s awesome, I love it. After 1PM I go home and work a little bit but not a huge amount.

Sundays for me are family days. I hang out with my girlfriend, Maria, and my family all day or as long as I possibly can. It’s great because it allows me to rejuvenate and kinda just relax for an entire day.

So, that’s pretty much my entire week right there. :)

Hope you enjoyed.
