Affiliate marketing, what is the key to success?

I am still learning more and more each day about what it takes to succeed in the affiliate marketing business. As I think of this, it is necessary in any business or anything in life that I really want. I must have patience and perserverance. I need to remember these  two things at all times.

 I have had plenty of opportunities lately to practice patience. While reading forums, I saw that other people said changing themes in wordpress was a very simple task. Well it certainly was not for me…..but I showed patience and perseverance by going to the forum and asking for help, and then going back when I still could not get it to work. Once I found that I had downloaded my theme in the wrong folder, getting it moved to the correct place caused me grief but once again, I hung in there. What other people were saying about changing themes was in fact easy, had I just paid more attention in the beginning when I started as to where I downloaded the theme to start with. It was a lesson that I think will help me next time!  

 This has been the one thing in my life lately that I am determined to succeed in. It has taken months to get my website ready. I have not let this stop me…..perseverance!

I have got to get organized!

Wow, I am about to drive myself crazy! I have signed up with Hostgator, started a blog (uploaded Wordpress form there), been able to get to my blog today, but that is about it. I am so unorganized……I have so much I am trying to do, and not being organized, I am getting a lot of nothing done….I had started a blog a few weeks ago and saw a lot of post about how much better Wordpress is. After I got my wordpress blog up, I was able to import my post from Blogger. I downloaded a theme I like, but cannot figure out what to do to change my theme. I have watched youtube videos, read instructions, and just cannot get anywhere. One time when I try to sign in Wordpress it lets me just fine, then later I try and it says invalid password…This has not been a very productive day. I know most of it is because of my lack of organization.

I even signed up as an affiliate for a program today(one of the times when I was sidetracked) and wanted to put an ad on my new site……I cannot figure out how to do that either. I am going to make a first things first list, and the first thing on my list is going to be to GET ORGANIZED!
