Coming to the second leg of the question, I personally spend the time I have for both departments in doing these 4 things.
- 50% of the time on marketing/promotion.
- 20% of the time for training myself and my affiliates.
- 20% of the time for communicating.
- 10% of the time for sundry activities like Trivia Games.
These percentages work very well for my highly-disciplined schedule and I think they will work very well too for any serious affiliate who wants to succeed in the business.
