So today I put in time to get started on an affiliate marketing campaign. Actually, I am getting prepared to do the first campaign. I came across a day-by-day plan that spells out all of the steps to do each day to get get a campaign from thought to in action. Being completely new to this sort of thing, it took a little bit longer to get my bearings that I expected.
Which brings me to my title question. Starting from the very bottom, needing to learn a bunch of stuff has me feeling a little bit overwhelmed as far as being able to do both of these things at the same time. To make it a little bit tougher, I have to cut my day at about 4pm so I can get to practice and I do not get back home until 7:30. So, my day feels about 1/2 as long as it needs to be.
I am taking on a bunch of new activities in my effort to be a "virtual" investor, so that is certainly the source of this feeling. Once I get the hang of some of these things and it is a matter of "doing" and not "thinking then doing", my days will feel a lot longer.
Right now I have a feeling like I am doing things, but they are busy work, not productive because I do not have anything in place that is making me money right now.
One day at a time, right?
Tomorrow is another day!

What a week!
Embracing Web 2.0 is a lot more involved than it looks at first. So, not only am I building my first 2 websites (I will DEFINITELY outsource this in the future), but I am also now on Twitter and using Facebook AND Squidoo...this is tiring.
But, I have made a great amount of progress on my websites, I just need to finish. It's the old 80-20 rule in effect...80% of the work takes 20% of the time, the last 20% of work is a killer. Getting there, Friday will be busy.
Once I get my initial website push finished I NEED to get back to finding some properties to wholesale...my marketing has taken a back seat this week, so that needs to change in a hurry because I doubt someone will randomly knock on my door and beg me to take their property for a song. I don't think expecting that to happen will get me anywhere.
