I love the resources that internet providing me to learn more and more about internet and marketing. I am equipped with new ideas and inspiration by simply reading all those materials. I feel like an important mission has been completed after I have read the articles and blog posts everyday.
Let me share what kind of online and offline resources that I am checking out regularly. First off all I will go over the offline resources:
Although all these magazines have online issues, I prefer to read them as paper printed magazines. I do not know why but holding those magazines in my hand and being able to read them even while I am cooking: or eating gives me a comfort to learn more and more but still feel like knowing nothing!
Business magazines have full of stories, ideas, projections, interviews, trends and critics. Many of the printed magazines that I am reading is not all about affiliate marketing but about marketing industry in general. In order to evaluate the dynamics and energy behind affiliate marketing and make trend analysis about future, I have to build a more broad and open perspective. It is the analytics of reading that is enabling me to make comparisons, realize similarities and figure out what is happening now and what will possibly happen in the future.
Especially if you are going away for short breaks, having and reading the magazines will provide you with ideas that you cannot discover if you are not taking yourself out from the routine. This is my personal experience. I am sure it will help you too. Many of our projects and plans just come up while we are on the way back to home after a refreshing journey.
