After seeing some success (especially if it’s your first) it’s very easy to just leave things as they are and make a nice profit off that campaign for a while. I would strongly suggest you do so until you have enough cash flow behind you to avoid any problems with growth. You have to keep in mind that if it’s your only successful campaign it could literally end tomorrow, depending on your niche and approach there could be a flood of competition, new laws/rules to abide to or the offer might just die out which will throw you back to stage 1 in trying to make a living online.

For the last month or so I’ve been using cash flow as barrier to getting more campaigns up and running, I have been working still and gathering keywords, making landing pages ready to launch new campaigns – I even launched a couple but when I saw them lose money in the first few days I paused it as I didn’t want to affect my overall profit per day.

If you want to become successful at affiliate marketing in the long term you cannot rely on just one campaign to pay your bills, you should be reinvesting most if not all of your profits back into new campaigns to get them off the ground making the income more stable as a full time wage.

The last couple of days have been a bit mental as I have been working on campaign after campaign and have actually just launched 3 more campaigns which will most likely bring my overall profit/day down but the potential to sky rocket it in the near future. Don’t be afraid to lose out on some profit and test new campaigns.

A good method of keeping track is to download the excel file I talked about in this post which will help keep your campaigns performance separate.
