For those who are serious about affiliate marketing and want a head start in the right(read profitable) direction, I suggest you skip this and head straight for the long version which is not too far down the page.

If you’ve been blogging for a while, then you definitely know that time is probably the most important asset we bloggers have.
We spend time on creating content, promoting it on social media, connecting with others in our niche, improving our knowledge.

Simply put, we spend most of our time to get better at what we do.

But if you’re just getting started and you probably still rely on your day job to support yourself and your family, your time is even more precious.

Now, I won’t tell how to spend your time when you’re working on your blog, you obviously know better than me what aspects need improvement.

Instead what I want to share with you in this blog post is probably one of the best ways you can take back your downtime, you know… when you’re commuting to work or when you’re walking the dog, basically when you’re away from your computer.

Obviously you won’t be able to write a blog post while driving the car, right? :)

But what you can do is learn. Learning things that can help you improve your online business is one of the biggest investments you can make.

I spend a lot of my time learning, but more than 90% of that time is actually spent while I’m away from my laptop.

I listen to podcasts.
