These tips come both from other successful affiliate marketers and from myself.
And the best part is you can implement them instantly to improve your performance with your affiliate marketing business!

1. Always follow the proven system before you invent anything new: Because the traditional way works well! Most people messed everything up before they quit in frustration because of their "innovation.
   " Try to do the reverse thing.
   
2. Connect with like-minded people: and you will learn from them, and get motivated by them significantly.
   Normally, you can find them in many forums on the Internet.
   The "Warrior Forum" is the best one.
   
3. Be responsible with what you do: If you can do so, you'll feel more in control over your own life, and your business as well.
   People often blame other people, or outer circumstances when they face failures.
   And it's not the winner's mindset.
   
4. Learn from people who have done it before: because they know what works, and what doesn't.
   They will also point out for you how to avoid deadly traps that cost them not only time but also money as well.
   Valuable lessons indeed!
5. Write down achievable goals to strike for at first: They will act as the road signs that guide you to your ultimate income goal with your affiliate marketing business.
   Without them, you're like a boat with no destination.
   Remember the keyword here is "achievable.
   "
6. Manage your working day in advance: Don't start your working day with checking emails and your Facebook account because they will distract you from the most important tasks.
   Start your day with the most important task first, then come back with other things later.
   
7. Manage your time wisely: Time equals money.
   Periods! Try to set specific block of time for specific task in your working day.
   By doing so you will find some pressures on yourself but don't try to hard! You'll be amazed at what you can do in the same period of time.
   
8. Always adjust your system to its maximum potential: That also means you should not stress too much on perfection.
   Fact is, perfectionism is a dangerous killer because it will prevent you from taking actions.
   Remember that you can come back with your engine whenever you need and adjust it.
   
9. Outsource as much as possible: and concentrate your energy on other important parts that you know you can excel with.
   This way, you will feel more confident about your business because you know every aspect of it is "professionally" crafted.
   
10. Don't fear competition: because it's a sign of a healthy market, and a chance for you to grow up your affiliate marketing business to the next level with potential partners! In today's world, you'll be more familiar with the word "co-operation" than the word "competition.
    "

And now is the time for you to implement them.
I hope you the best with your affiliate marketing business!
