A lot of people talk about how much they hate getting up in the morning and rushing off to their job.  They may spend an hour on the freeway, only to find themselves stuck in traffic.  By the time they get to their job, their boss is yelling and they’ve missed an important appointment.  Sounds frustrating, huh?  If you want to make a change in your life, you may want to take a look at a typical day in the life of an affiliate marketing associate.

First of all, it’s eight o’clock in the morning and where is the affiliate marketing associate?  Just rolling over, deciding that it might be time to get up.  After strolling over to the coffee pot, they pour their first cup of the day and go out on the deck to enjoy the scenery, while they wake up.  By nine o’clock, they’ve jumped in the shower and are now awake enough to see to their work.

Looking at their calendar, the associate realizes there is nothing pressing on the schedule for the day and turns on their computer.  He or she then sits down to check and respond to any emails that have come in.  They log in to the first affiliate program to see if there are any changes or any new product updates.  Once done, they move on the next, until they are done with the programs.  By this time, it’s time for more coffee and a break.

After coming back to work, they spend the rest of their day marketing the products they have chosen to sell.   They visit a lot of social networking sites, forums, and discussion groups, as well as classified ad sites.  Of course, they also get into a few conversations in these sites and can’t help but smile.  After all, they may be working, but they are having fun.  Six hours later, after a quick review of their financial documents, the affiliate decides they are done for the day and they shuts down his or her computer.

Which scenario sounds the best to you?  If you are one of the people that has spent years working for someone else who may not appreciate all your efforts, you may want to consider becoming an affiliate marketing associate.  Not only will you find it financially rewarding, you might just find yourself having some fun and enjoying your work.
