I’ve got a simple question for you. Do you often hover over a link just to see where the link is sending you before you actually click it? You too? Well, congrats. You’re not the only one. As a matter of fact, tons of people (especially the more experienced internet users, give yourself a pat on the back) often test a link before clicking it.

So let me ask you another question.

Would you be more likely to click a link that lead you to this URL:

Or this one:

The choice seems obvious to me.

Make Lists!

This doesn’t seem like the most exciting idea, but trust me, once you start taking notes, and making lists, you will become increasingly more focused on what you are doing. You will become task-oriented. Your thoughts will be put on paper, and you will free the space in your head to start thinking of other things that will help you succeed in affiliate marketing. Then you will write those ideas down, and more will come.

In an industry where a simple idea could make you $6,000 + in a month – and this goes for all industries – there is no excuse to not always have a notebook with you. Go to Walmart, and buy a $.50 cent composition notebook. Write your name, the year, and subject on it, and go to town. Write only your ideas for affiliate marketing in this book. An added bonus of having your own, bound affiliate marketing / idea book, is that if you properly date your entries, your notebook can be used to back up your ideas and originality if you ever get called on the carpet by some legal authority (I learned this in my Engineering Class in High School). In other words, they provide good documentation if you ever need to look back at your records.

I just started my notebook a while ago, and I’ve become a lot more productive. I strongly suggest that you get your own affiliate marketing notebook and do the same if you want to get serious about what you are doing.
