		<title>Soon to officially be a full-time affiliate</title>

		<title>Is becoming a part-time affiliate an option?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, shame on me &#8211; it has been a good couple of months since I updated you all. That doesn&#8217;t mean I haven&#8217;t been doing much &#8211; in fact the opposite is true. I have had so much going on it has been hard to find time to update things.

		<title>Affiliate Risk Management</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok so Im having a little break from doing my affiliate accounting tonight and I thought I would share with you something that is very important.

RISK MANAGEMENT.

Without this I wouldn't even be considering becoming a full-time affiliate. You see being an affiliate (part or full-time) is risky.

If you rely only on traffic from Google organic search results and then one day you get a penalty your business can quickly start losing money.

Equally if you rely on PPC and then the goalposts are moved or some big competitors start outbidding you then again you suffer.

The secret is to mitiagate your risk in everything you do. You have heard the phrase 'never put all your eggs in one basket' right? Well this has never been more true than in affiliate marketing.

Here are some of the many ways you can look to spread your risk as an affiliate:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Previously I have always netted off any PayPal income and just shown the money that gets paid in to my account disregarding the fee. However it turns out this was slightly incorrect. I called my accountant and got told that when doing affiliate accounts with PayPal you need to show in your profit and loss the gross income coming in, and add the fees in as an expenditure. ]]></description>

		<title>Affiliate Accounting: Does tax have to be taxing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Speaking of things I need to do tomorrow, I have been speaking to my accountant and he has suggested that since I plan on going full-time it's even more vitally important that all of my accounts are in order. Therefore tomorrow I will start the unenviable task of going back through my accounts for the last year and tracking down any missing invoices and receipts.

Speaking of accounting, if you are earning affiliate income and not yet started proper accounting processes then I suggest you start now - it will save you a lot of time in the long run.

It can be quite daunting at first but you soon get the hang of it. Basically it works like this if you are in the UK:]]></description>
