This week, I had high hopes and big plans to drive more traffic to my affiliate offers and ramp up my list-building efforts. My goal was to make some serious progress in my affiliate marketing business. But honestly, it feels like I’ve been blown off course.
Instead of staying focused on my main affiliate marketing tasks, I’ve been caught up with distractions and too many bird-brained ideas pulling me in different directions. You know that feeling when you have so many online business ideas that you end up doing none of them? That’s exactly how it went for me this week.

One major distraction came in the form of a new marketing software I’d convinced myself was the secret to success. I spent hours studying every feature, reading reviews, and planning how I’d use it to improve my affiliate marketing strategy. But when I finally got to the order page, I was greeted by a message telling me I’d already bought the software! I couldn’t believe it—there it was, collecting dust in my downloads folder. That’s the danger of always chasing the next shiny object.
This whole experience sums up the week: too much time spent running in circles and not enough on what truly matters—driving affiliate traffic and building my email list. It’s clear I need to cut back on distractions and refocus on my core tasks.
Next week, my goal is simple: get back on track. No more chasing unnecessary tools or getting sidetracked. Just solid focus on growing my online business, driving traffic, and increasing affiliate sales.
That will be helped by the fact that – even though this is a bit late – I’ll be scheduling tonight’s ezine shortly and planning the other two for this week.
I’m also scheduling posts for my blog at https://www.howtoquitthedayjob.com/blog/ with the help of AI and blocking off my time for specific promotional tasks and making sure I don’t overrun.
Let’s see if I can stick to that plan!
