[pokerforfree]

I still work 4 days a week from 9-5, since I just stepped into the affiliate business just over a year ago not knowing what world to enter at all.

The first reason I started my site was to finance my poker bankrolls, but I soon realized that there is much more money in this business than I personally can ever make playing poker.

About one month ago (yes it took me so long to realize) I completely gave up playing poker, even for entertainment. I now have zillions of time to spent working on my site(s), plus my wife and two year old boy, which is something I really enjoy.

Because of my recent guerrilla marketing approach I have seen revenue rise, and have become even more motivated. I finally started developing my other projects which are going to be something different - you'll see.

Anyway, as you can understand there is no typical workday for a part time affiliate like me. I spent working on my site(s) for about 3-4 hours on a regular working day. On Friday I spent the whole day with my son, and we go for a swim in the morning. When he takes his nap I have some time to go through some minor things. Weekends, mostly I spent the days with my family, and in between as much as I can do on the site.

I have an office room in the house, but since I try to do as much as I can you will find me sitting downstairs on the couch with my Mac on my lap many times.

If you are new to this business, there are a couple of things I like to share:

• Don’t give up! It will take a lot of time and effort before you may have success, but when it comes… it comes!
• Set your goals. I have read this many times here at PAW, and it’s really motivating.
• Go to a conference at least once a year. I went to Amsterdam last spring, and talking to your affiliate managers changes the whole thing. Besides, for me personally it actually all began after I visited the CAC.
• Become a frequent visitor of PAW. Even if you don’t post, there’s a whole lot of interesting information to read.

My goal for next year: keep working 2 days a week for the company I work for, for social and learning aspects, and 2 whole days on my sites + the usual hours. I'm gonna make this happen!
