How to Keep Your Affiliate Marketing Business Organized copy;Copyright Rosalind Gardner All Rights Reserved.
I’m fairly anal about keeping my business and almost allaspects of my life wellorganized.
For example open my closet and you’ll see my clothes sorted bygarment type and color according to the spectrum from white toblack.
Sick eh?
How about a food cupboard sorted into soups veggies snackssauce mixes pasta and rice etc? Oh ya and the labels AREturned out.
Are you ready to have me committed yet?
Wait just a moment please. There’s method in my madness…really and truly.
Surely you know people who can’t organize their way out of apaper bag. They come home and leave their keys in a differentplace each time. Then whenever they want to go out they need tospend 5 minutes searching for their keys… and/or shoes orjacket or paperwork…
What a huge a waste of life!
I use the term ‘life’ because life is comprised of and measuredby time.
Nothing is more precious than time and making each of yourmoments count. Spending time on trivial matters like looking forkeys when you could be having fun with friends and familyhelping others through your business saving the planet or eventaking a nap is a waste of time.
Likewise looking for a merchant’s affiiliate interface loginand password when you want to install one of their links on yoursite is a waste of time.
Scrap that… it’s a waste of time to have to look for the linkitself.
All the details relating to your affiliate marketing businessneed to be at right at your fingertips.
I stay organized by keeping everything in one big Excel fileaccessed from my desktop.
The file has a number of worksheets each with its own set ofinformation.
All the programs I’m affiliated with are listed on oneworksheet with headings for program name username/loginpassword network association if any primary links my ownredirect links broker 2nd tier links link for the affiliateinterface manager’s name and contact info commission rate andother important info.
Another sheet logs all monies owed and received and talliesincome by program and category as well as by month and year.
On another worksheet I’ve listed software information includingpurchase date registration numbers and login details.
Still another keeps track of information for subscriptions suchas forums and membership sites.
Everytime I come up with an article idea it gets entered on the’Article Ideas’ worksheet. There’s yet another sheet with a listof article submission sites.
I log interview presentation and teleconference dates anddetails in that file.
Testimonials and success stories have their own separate sheets.
The Net Profits Today newsletter is laid out in advance onanother sheet with suggestions for topics and articles.
Last but not least my project todo list is on anotherworksheet filed by domain name and sorted by date due.
The ‘Big File’ is always open.
When I join a program the details get entered right away. Whilereading my email I cut and paste testimonials right into thefile and jot ideas for future NPT topics … as they pop up.
My site files are organized by domain name not generic termslike ‘dating site’ or ‘book site’ as I’ve seen some webmastersdo.
As soon as I join a program I enter all the details on therelevant sheet and create a redirect link which I know I’lluse if I promote the product via email.
I create email filters for every webmaster I do business withand messages go straight into their personal folder. One quickfilter no more filing.
Setting up and keeping up with such a system may seem like alot of work.
It’s not.
Do it often enough and it becomes second nature.
Staying organized sure beats the heck out of wasting fiveminutes trying to find the email with that merchant’s affiliateprogram login information just so you find your affiliate links.
