Hell's Kitchen...

Have you ever watch Hell's Kitchen before?

When you watch the show, you will know how important consistency is when you are running a kitchen. You just can't cook a perfect wellington now and cook a medium wellington while your customer ordered a well done wellington.

Now, that is the same when you are running your affiliate marketing business. You need to be consistent in whatever you do for your affiliate marketing business.

I know how boring things can be when you repeatedly building your affiliate marketing business and nothing seem to flourish. After that, the more you work for your online business, the stronger the little voice in your head will tell you to quit your new career.

I think that most of you have gone through or going through that stage right? How do you be consistent and shut that little voice then?

So here are some steps you can practice to be consistent in building your affiliate marketing business:

1. Stop reasoning

We tends to give reasons when we didn't do something and the most common reason is to tell that we have no time and we will do it when we have time.

Hey, when you start telling yourself that, it marks the point you are giving up building your online business.

What you need to now is to justify within yourself whether what you say is right. Is it really that you are so occupied with other things or is it your fear of failure kicked in?

Be honest with yourself when you are giving reasons.

2. Refer to goal

I know a lot people never set goals. They just jump into this business and wanting to earn as much money as possible. But that is not the thing we are discussing here. So, let's imagine you started out with a goal.

Whenever you notice that you are starting to be inconsistent, go back to your goal. Why do you want to achieve it in the first place? What is so important about achieving your goal?

If you can, have something to remind you of your goal. It can be the picture of your dream home or a mock check with the money you want to earn. So, whenever you look at it, it will motivate you to continue building your affiliate marketing business.

3. Break down your goal

Earning $120,000 from your affiliate marketing business every year might seems impossible when you are starting out in this industry. You will have a hard time believing yourself and aligning your efforts toward the goal.

Instead of that, break down your goal to earning $10,000 every month online can be more achievable. When things seem more achievable, you will be more motivated to do it.

And from there, develop a daily action plan of what you need to do to earn $10,000 every month with affiliate marketing. If an article a day is going to boost your reputation online, by all means, go do it. If reading a blog post can help you to be consistent in your marketing strategies, do read it.

4. Practice

Although you have broken down your goal into small pieces, it means zip when you just leave them like that. Regardless of how small the things are, make sure that you are consistent in doing it.

When you are building a successful affiliate marketing business, sometimes things can get very hectic. You will go around, doing anything you can, thinking to multitask to get your things done.

Guess what? You are only busying yourself and getting things half done.

Take this. When things are getting hectic, take a deep breath and slow down. Prioritize your tasks and concentrate on one thing at a time. For things that you can't attend to them now, write them down and follow up later.

Practice this over and over again and you will get better at what you do.

"Practice makes perfect." Right?
