investment. When you get started, the formula will be almost entirely about time. You
won’t have much money so you’ll do as much as you can by yourself. You’ll start
your first website, hopefully make a few dollars and then make another one. It could
take two or three weeks, but at least you’ll be started.
But, it’s after that first website or two that many people make the mistakes. They see
the paychecks start to come in and they want to know what they can do to keep all
that money. Why set aside 40­50% of it to reinvest when you could just as easily buy
that big screen TV and just do the work yourself?

I asked the same question when I got started and so have millions of others. The key
is to overcome the urge to spend the money and learn to reinvest it. Do less work
yourself and start delegating to outsourcers on sites like Elance.

Using Elance
You can outsource just about everything you do for your affiliate marketing

campaigns. Personally, I believe a marketer shouldn’t do much of anything beyond
the big picture thinking. It might take some time to get there, but eventually you
should check emails, generate ideas, and check progress. The rest of the time is
spent outsourcing article writing, website design, link building, and graphic
development for your sites.

Elance is the primary tool for many marketers in this regard. It’s easy and free to sign
up for clients and it takes all of five minutes to post a job asking for help. Here are
some tips when you outsource to someone on Elance:
