10 Things to do when you seem to hit a Wall in Affiliate Marketing

Posted on February 8, 2007 in Affiliate Tips  

As Affiliate Marketers we are always trying to come up with new ideas and new ways to promote offers and websites, but what happens when your well runs dry? Below is a list of 10 things I do when I hit a wall or I am frustrated with the results I am getting.

1. Turn Off the PC.
2. Go For a Walk
3. Hang Out with the Wife
4. Veg out in front of the TV
5. Blast some people away on Xbox Live (Ghost Recon & Rainbow Six Las Vegas)
6. Play Boxing on the Wii
7. Go Browse around Fry’s Electronics store
8. Read the Newspaper (Yes I know it’s so 2000 but still serves a purpose)
9. Take a Nap
10. Read a Book

No I don’t always do all of those things but those are 10 of the things I will do when I hit a wall and just can’t seem to come up with anything or I am getting frustrated with my results. I will say every time after a break, I do go back to my PC and work, I will start over flowing with ideas or an idea will hit me while I am doing one of the 10 things. Noticed I listed watching TV and Reading the paper, I have gotten several ideas spurred on from those two sources as you will read or see something and a light bulb will go off.
I hope this may help you when you hit a wall or maybe you have a few you can suggest?

    A couple of problems with this…

    1. Good Idea
    2. There’s a foot of snow out there, and it’s 3 degrees outside!
    3. My wife is watching One Tree Hill. I refuse to watch that!
    4. See item #3
    5. I don’t have x-box. I have a PS2 but the kids tore it up.
    6. I don’t have a Wii
    7. Fry’s? Must be a southern thing.
    8. That’s SOOOO 2000! :-)
    9. Great thinking!
    10. Great thinking!

    Great post, and great tips. I find myself doing this more often than id like, but it does help. Another good one is if you have kids, chill with them and ask them what is cool right now at school. ;)
