If you are not doing this, you are in all probability wasting all your time, money and resources big time with your affiliate marketing business efforts online. You do not need to belabor your brain trying to guess or take a shot at what this might be because I am going to tell you, it is STOCK TAKING.
Many affiliate marketers I have had the opportunity to counsel have always been shocked when I make the same bold statement you just read in the opening paragraph.
Where are you with your dreams, goals, plans, desires, schedule, program or ambition to earn extra cash or make a living off the internet getting involved in affiliate marketing?
How far have you gone? How best have you performed with your campaigns? How much have you invested and how best are the returns and commissions?
You cannot afford to lose track of your efforts or simply get to a stage where you stopped taking stock. You must have an up to date inventory for your online business most especially because what we are both sharing is your LIFE.
Your time, your strength, your business acumen and your money; how much are all these worth, can you tell? Friend, you cannot afford to run or operate your business on the internet on assumptions and vague generalizations. You must create time to do stock taking.
A performance review of how well you have fared will not hurt you at all because this will help you calculate how best you have performed. You must know how close or away you are from your set target and goal? Where there is a need, fill or meet it.
When you can afford to, carry out a review of your business goals, plans and budget. There must be good and proper accountability. One good thing about this is in the fact it may well mean the success or collapse of your affiliate marketing business as a whole.
