While everybody could do bite-sized affiliate marketing, some will not profit from it, while others will.
Before you rush out to try it, take a moment to read this article to find out if it is the best option for you. It would be a pity to waste months doing something that will not allow you to progress as fast as you could otherwise have done. On the other hand, if this is for you, knowing it beforehand will give you peace of mind.
You will feel good about doing it instead of feeling guilty or lazy.
Let us start by eliminating the group of people who would not profit from bite-sized affiliate marketing.
Some marketers get nothing done unless they have their “one big thing” that they work on until it is done.
The bite-sized method would frustrate them to no limit. They would feel they got nothing done and that they are wasting their time. If you are a one-big-thing guy or girl, stay away from doing bite-sized affiliate marketing.
You will be better off doing your thing.
The only exception is if you stop after, say, five hours a day and still have a few 15-minutes time slots you could spend doing something better than watching Netflix.
You could then opt in to use this method in your spare time, after you are done with your one big thing for the day.
Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity (ADHD) is common among online marketers.
There is a logical explanation for this. Doing tedious, boring daily tasks is unbearable. It is much better to be your own boss and work on what you want and skip what you do not want to do. At least for the day.
Bite-sized affiliate marketing is perfect for people with ADHD.
How long can you focus? Maybe you are saying, rightfully so, that you can hyperfocus for ten hours. But you need to look at it in the long-term. Today, it may be interesting enough for you.
But tomorrow?
Then it may feel like a dread to get back to the task. This is where it is a lot better to work in small time-chunks. It is easier to talk yourself into doing this for just five focused minutes than having an unknown stretch of time ahead of you.
Five minutes?
Yes, you may need to start this low. If you can only focus for five minutes or maybe six or seven, set a timer for five, then take a break. After a while, you will have trained yourself to focus for longer.
Then set the timer for ten minutes and take a break.
Keep working on yourself until you can easily manage 15 or even 25 minutes at a time. There is no need to go longer. If you strain yourself by pushing too far, you risk making yourself too tired.
And that will easily lead to you giving up and quitting.
If you have ADHD, I recommend you put in the minutes you can throughout the day without having a fixed schedule. The schedule would make you feel prisoned and will lead you to stop working on our plan. Keep it loose and flexible instead.
If you are on the autism spectrum, you may want as structured a plan as possible.
You do not need to keep this structured to time. It can be every time you have finished your first cup of coffee, you put in 15 minutes. Or at the end of your workday, you do one bite-sized time slot. When you get home, you do another.
Choose whatever rhythm fits you the best.
Of course, if you have both ADHD and are on the spectrum, you will have to experience withe the two ways and find which one fits you best.
But neurodivergent people are far from the only ones who will benefit from bite-sized affiliate marketing.
Let us face it…
Even if you have the best focus in the world, who says you want to spend all day working? Even for something as funny as an affiliate marketing business?
You have probably done your deal and now it is time to relax and take it easier. You want to spend time drinking coffee on the deck with your spouse. Or be with your grandkids and play with them. But that extra money you can make will always feel good.
Plus, it keeps your mind sharp to be occupied with something more challenging than the Sunday paper’s puzzle.
You will love bite-sized affiliate marketing.
Like everybody else, you just need to plan the whole system and then work on it as much or little as you want every day.
Hopefully, you get a good pension, so the money is an extra plus, not a necessity. So, you can decide to promote one product per month if you like.
This will save you time since you only have to go through and get familiar with one product per month.
And while you would want to share this product with an audience once per week at least if you need the money. You have the luxury of sharing maybe only twice per month.
Unless your ambitions tell you to do more.
It will be your choice, and not anyone else’s.
Everybody who has a 9 to 5 and wants to leave it.
Or everyone who has full-time occupation of some kind. It could be taking care of their kids or elderly parents. Or staying home with a sick spouse.
Whenever you experience not being able to or wanting to put in hours in an online business, bite-sized affiliate marketing can give you success.
If you are still thinking, “I don’t know.”
Then go ahead and try it. Normally, trying is not good. You should either do or do not. But it is better to test if this method works for you or not than to jump blindly into something that does not work.
Give it a month where you try the bite-sized method and another month where you work, say, five hours per day.
Then do status and see which method you liked the best and which one gave you the best results.
