10 Tips to Make the Most of Your Affiliate Marketing Day

3. Stay informed. Keep abreast of relevant affiliate marketing news by checking industry blogs, forums, podcasts, social media, etc. on a daily basis, said Salvino. You need to know what's going on with the hot topics - e.g., internet sales tax.

4. Schedule time wisely. Block out times of the day for application approvals, responding to emails and checking stats, Ely said. Don't let your inbox dictate your day and focus on the tasks that have the greatest impact on your company (i.e., those that grow revenue). And in between these tasks, give yourself a "brain break" every 60 minutes to 90 minutes, Ely added.
