The best thing you can do if you’ve never done anything with HTML and CSS is to dive into some Wordpress theme files on your FTP and just have a look around. The stuff ain’t rocket science that’s for sure!

The way you should be looking at it is that you should be looking at HTML, CSS and PHP throughout each day just to remain fluent with it. You don’t have to learn it and you don’t have to go searching for any tutorials online if you don’t want to. Although, tutorials certainly couldn’t HURT could they?

Anyway, basically what you should be doing iis when you come to a road block on your site and you discover you need to play with some code to fix iit, your first stop should be Google. Asap. What you’re going to do is type your coding problem into Google and throw in HTML, CSS and/or PHP depending on which you need to be working with and hit enter. Bam! A list of websites with answers to your coding question!

Go through them and read and learn. Make sure you don’t copy/paste anything unless it’s too long and instead type it out. Not only will you develop more of a feel for the design language but you’ll also actually be forced to do some frigging work for a change. Wah-wahhhhh….

That’s pretty much all there is to it. HTML and CSS are about the LEAST scary languages possible so don’t even get flustered if you have something you’re fiddling with with them. PHP on the other hand can be an entirely different animal — but still try it yourself before you go begging on Internet Forums or chat rooms asking for someone to basically stop what they’re doing, teach you a piece of code you could have taught yourself with effective Google searching, and then not getting paid a damn red cent for it. Good times!

Learn by doing, kids. It’s the way to go with everything. ESPECIALLY while trying to get the hang of HTML, CSS and PHP.

Good luck!

Everything that we do is directly related to our conversion percentages for the most part, so each and every move or action that we take must be thoroughly researched and thought about. If not, we could risk not getting the best possible conversion percentage or even worse, not running a successful campaign what-so-ever!

It’s the same with sporting teams and how football teams approach the NFL Draft. A portion of each of their organizations are SPECIFICALLY devoted to JUST scouting out the players the team should select! The amount of work and research they put into their draft selections is incredible, but you can see why they do it. They have to sign each of their picks to some sort of contract, with the earlier round picks getting some pretty hefty contracts! The similarities to affiliate marketing are pretty prevalent, you just have to think about it.

What can you learn from all of this though? Well, you can learn that you need to treat everything that you do as a business — because that is what it is. Just because you work for yourself and could realistically take a day off whenever you wanted doesn’t mean you can slack off and half-ass everything all of the time. How would that make sense from a business perspective?

You should be striving to make as much money as possible each and every day you put work in. You should be taking days off only when you can afford to and don’t have anything significant going on. If you’re like any of the affiliate and internet marketers that I know, you’ll have to be pulled hair and teeth by people to take a day off because you don’t want to risk any possible amount of money that you can be making.

So as your watching the NFL Draft tomorrow, if you plan to, think about how you can start taking every single decision and action you make as an affiliate or internet marketer and start doing it knowing that it will be the best and most profitable one you can make.

And hopefully you’re only watching it with one eye because you still have some other work going on!

Oh noes, no interwebs.

Well, unfortunately for me is wasn’t today.  It took me around 30 minutes just to find an AT&T wireless hotspot, and then I had to pay $3.99 per 2 hour block, which I am on my first but undoubtedly not my last 2 hour block.  

I’m currently stuck out in Youngstown Ohio and there’s hardly anything around here.  I found a mall that had a Starbucks in it and I thought they had free wifi.  So I went up and got something to drink and pulled out my computer to get on and get some work done.

However like I said it wasn’t free.  I know a lot of affiliates travel worldwide all the time, I can’t do that right now because of college.  However my tip for today is to get an air card from your cell phone provider.

I’m looking into the 3G air cards now from AT&T but I’m not entirely sure which one to get.  I’m also trying to figure out how much it costs for an air card with unlimited usage monthly.  However AT&T seems to want to keep that hidden away on their website.

If your a budding affiliate and you want to be able to work from anywhere, I definitely suggest you invest in an air card of some sort.  That was a lesson learned the hard way for me today, mainly to my gas tank.  

I hate driving to begin with, especially when I have no idea where anything is.  So if I’ve taught you anything yet, heed this, buy an air card!
