There are 3 critical tasks to make it big in affiliate marketing:
Content is what will make people connect with you + is your long term strategy.
Building your list is something that you should ALWAYS be doing. Is how your business grows.
Making offers... Well, this is how you make money. I think this one is self-explanatory.
And guess what?
You need to execute these tasks on a daily basis.
You can't do it for a week, for a month, every 2-3 days, every time you feel like it.
If you execute half-ass, you'll get half-ass results.
Kill it every day.
