Much like I’m trying to post 1 new thing a day on this blog (I missed yesterday already… Dammit…) you should constantly be trying to do at least one new thing in affiliate marketing each day.
What I mean by doing something new, is to take some time out of your day to make a new campaign, port over your campaigns to another traffic source, or dip your toes in to a new niche. One of my goals is to launch 1 new campaign a day, and while it doesn’t seem like a lot, there is still a ton I have to do to get a new campaign up and running. Finding my main traffic source, gettings targets or demographics, landing pages, rotators, cloakers… a whole lot of steps. It isn’t always a huge time taker… on average I can have a test campaign ready to go in 2 hours. It’s just a matter of getting over the monotony of doing it which is the hard part that you’ll have to push through.
But through my persistence at keeping on this goal, I’ve found a ton of losers, some that easily break even, and then the monster campaigns that I’m running now that rake in 4+ figures a day. I know many of you are working a 9-5 office job, and looking for a way out. Building 1 campaign a day will help you get there. Hell, even if you have no money to spend, you can practice building 1 campaign a day. Once you’ve got the money, you’ll have plenty of things to choose from and rotate through putting you well ahead of the pack of new marketers we’re seeing enter the space.

This is one of my downfalls, I probably can get a campaign ready in X hours but it always seems to drag on and take a day or 'something' crops up (pub) that takes priority.
I did find that creating a step by step list helps keep me on track, just having it open on my other monitor so I can tick them off as I do each one.
Maybe that's just me though :)
Great post Justin. I'm going to put that on my monitor in big bold letters… "one new thing a day"… awesome.
What do you exactly mean by one campaign a day? Are you creating these campaigns from scratch in new markets every day, or keep exploiting some specific number of markets where you already have some experience?
One new thing a day is still a lot of work for me. So do you mean from finding a new niche, to launching your PPC campaign, it can take you 2 hours? That's impressive.
I can probably find a new niche, research on it, get keywords, setup my PPC campaign in 2 hours, but it'll be rocky and I'd be scared to launch it LOL. Let alone, I don't have any tracking on the keywords, and I don't have a landing page to boot. I need practice :s
