My accountant will be very happy when I start making an income from affiliate marketing. So far I only have expenses so have quite a way to turn it into a profit. I am definately determined to get there though.

Hi Elly,

A spreadsheet is a fantastic idea and really easy to set up. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

Now that’s something I neglect – based on the fact I don’t get much! I do check Amazon – maninly because they remind me to. I have also forgotten which programs I have joined – how’s that for accuracy!

More work – but, it was something that was on my agenda.

Hi Sean,
As one who wants to know the ‘ins and outs’ of everything, your words are very timely. This is the season of ‘tax time’ and for nearly all of us, transferring the concepts of the PAYG system to a business focus should be fairly easy.
When we want to say we are successful financially, it will be truthful when we can see the detail. Now, to learn about spreadsheets – with all the rain we’ve been having, scratching details in the dirt has made the ‘mud-map’ unreadable!

Hi Sean

As an affiliate marketer we are in business and one we are deriving an income (no matter how small initially), we are subject by law to keep all records of income and expenditure etc for tax purposes.

I would suggest that if you know how to set up a spreadsheet they are excellent for keeping track of stastistcal information for your business (excellent for affiliate marketing)and for keeping track of your income/expenses too.
