Affiliates: Do 2 Days Work – Take 2 Months Off
How would you like to take the whole summer away from posting to your affiliate blogs to play with your family and friends? Or how about taking an equally LONG winter vacation?
You can and you’ll find out how I set things up on different sites to free up most of my time this summer. (That advance planning & work came in especially handy considering our recent family emergency!)
Note: This technique works particularly well for affiliate publishers and bloggers who promote the same products consistently.
So, if you want to take a little time off, or make sure that your affiliate business keeps ticking right along when you have to be away unexpectedly – watch the video – and have a super summer!

Hi Rasalind,
Thanks for the sharing. Wondering how you systemize your affiliate business in overall.
YC.
The heading seems quite interesting> I would love to work for 2days and enjoy for 2months if its gonna work. But i think that that is practically impossible. It is necessary to keep your eye on and see what is going on and about there.
Hello abraxas,
Definitely NOT impossible to set things up to take more time off… I do it all the time.
Cheers,
Ros
Hi Rosalind, thanks for your inspiring post. Hope your tip work for me. Cheers
Hi Ros,
Generating quality content is my biggest challenge as I’m sure it is for most bloggers.
If you could put together a video showing you actually sitting down and putting together a few days or weeks posts, including how you mix your original,PLR,advertiser’s copy, etc. that would really be helpful for me in establishing a daily/weekly system.
Thank you,
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
That would probably be a really boring video to watch, me sitting down and reworking PLR and writing articles.
I think an article about publishing timetable strategies might be in order, however. Thanks for the question!
Cheers,
Ros
I see Carol Allen’s article there! I actually met Carol at Eben Pagan’s seminar – and signed up for her astrology articles. She’s a neat lady – great energy!
And lady – you are posting some amazing content. I am glad to see you at 110%!
Hi Kit,
Cool that you met Carol Allen and sorry that I missed Eben’s event… next time, hopefully. Too, thanks for the kudo.

I wasn’t aware that affiliate, nevermind super affiliates, took days off… LOL
Oh, you betcha! THIS Super Affiliate always works with a view to working less and playing more!
Cheers,
Ros
It is not bad to try out and i am sure that this will really work if we give our total commitment and full dedication in it. If it really works i will definitely work for 2days night and day to enjoy 2months.
Hi Ros
As always..a great post. Question for you – what, if any plug-in do you use to accomplish this. I have upgraded to 2.8, and have searched WP plugins to no avail. There have been problems with the install of 2.8 – is it a piece of WP or a plugin? Thanks! Keep up your great insights – they are invaluable!

Ted -
To schedule a post in the future just set a date for the post (on the right side in the little box with the “publish” button in it.) You can edit the date for the post – if you set it in the future, it will release automatically on that time and date.
Is that what you meant? Hope it helps.

p.s. where’s your site?
Hi Ros,
Thanks for your response.
I was really leaning more toward how you apportion which type of content rather than the actual writing or editing of it.
Like if you’re looking at putting together a week’s posts in advance, what mix, resources, etc. would you use to accomplish that task.
Jeff
Hi Ros –
First of all, has anyone told you today how amazing you are? Well, you are! This is a great post and gave me insight on how to keep up with posting on more than one site – and also what to do with all that energy when I’m in the mood to write. Sort of like a backup for the slow don’t wanna write days.
So, thanks for yet another great tip!
Hi Rosalind, how in the World do you get a category “HOME” on 101date.com to be a .. static homepage that goes to your home page? I have a website that uses the lifestyle theme and I tried for probably an hour after seeing this video, and I couldn’t find anything or any website help on it?
Any reply for a general direction would be appreciated..
BTW, Very keen leveraging wordpress for your time
Thank you
Hi Gordon,
I just coded a link to the homepage within the subnav bar as follows:
<div id=”subnavbar”>
<ul id=”subnav”>
<li><a href=”<?php echo get_settings(‘home’); ?>”>Home</a></li><li><a href=”http://101date.com/dating-categories/”>ALL Sites</a></li><?php wp_list_categories(‘orderby=name&title_li=&depth=4&exclude=76,95&use_desc_for_title=0′); ?>
</ul>
</div>
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Ros
