Automate your Affiliate Day to Double Productivity
How many things do you do every day that are routine and take precious time away from the more important tasks you have on your plate? For me there are TONS, but I’m not a coder so didn’t know of a way to automate and get rid of some of those time consuming, boring yet must-do jobs. That is until today, thanks to Stuart for the heads up. This tool looks awesome and I can’t wait to use it.
iMacros is a free FireFox extension which makes it super easy to use, since I live on FireFox all day. With this plugin, any task that you can do within the Firefox interface can be recorded and iMacros will automate and repeat the task for you. Some possible apps include: Form filling and passwords, web testing, automating downloads and scraping web data into .csv files.
Stuart from Earners Blog offers some suggestions for typical affiliate tasks that could be automated.
1. Checking Affiliate Stats
2. Adjusting Bids in Adwords Campaigns
3. Moderating Posts on your Forum
4. Accepting orders from your Ecommerce Website
5. Downloading log files once a month from your server

Stuart lists a ton of ways to use the plugn – which gave me a few ideas as well! The one I liked most is checking stats – this one takes a lot of my time daily – I guess I am addicted to checking stats, I do it every now and then! I definitely need to automate it. [...]
