As well as having a duck in our logo, an affiliate blog with the word duck in it and even a blog aimed at things duck related every now and then myself and Jude head off to the Llanelli Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust and take pictures of … ducks! The big question is how can I write a blog about photos, ducks and affiliate marketing?

Well.. affiliate marketing is a lot like trying to take pictures of ducks landing on water!

First off you need to set yourself a target!

If at first you don’t succeed! Don’t be put off if your initial attempts don’t go to plan. You might need to tweak a few things to get the results you’re after.

Don’t miss opportunities that may be nearby! Aims and targets are good but keep one eye on what’s going on around you as you never know when a different pathway opens up for you. You may miss out on a golden opportunity if you’re too focused on one prize!

Be patient! Some things in affiliate marketing don’t just happen immediately. You need to have a bit of perseverance, patience, tenacity and even stamina to succeed. Of course there’s also elements of luck and being in the right place at the right time.

When you get a result be happy about it but then try again and see if you can do better. Don’t rest on your laurels.

Finally, get out of the house once in a while. Sitting in front of the computer day in day out isn’t good for the brain or the soul.

Anyway this was just a bit of fun with a few underlying messages about affiliate marketing.

It’ll be back to the Wetlands Centre soon to try and get a better shot… them pesky ducks just seem to know when you’ve switched the camera off!
