Reply with quote

Just starting out with both resell products I've licensed and Affiliate Programs.

I've already got stuff all over the place. I've sat and tried to organise my file structure and email structure to the way I work....no joy....still have to search around to get passwords, links etc

Any suggestions or software on how to organise affiliates links, login details, passwords, emails, orders, ads, newsletters, templates etc

Hope you can help.

Happy Christmas to you all

Ok, here what I do.

In IE, get a free software plugin like www.roboform.com, in Netscape it comes with this feature already. Save your passwords and logins for easy access. Get a notebook and also keep them there in case your puter dies Smile mine is getting there lol

I've used both of the above features for years now and never had security problems at all. So I have no fear there. I also use Zenealarm's free firewall for added security though. Highly recommend that too.

On your desk, get a small standup slotted mail holder, use it, keep it organized.

Get a 3 ring binder, lined notepaper and divider tabs, likely 3 or 4 inch size, use it, update it!
This is for notes, printouts,etc. It is your reference manual, user's guide for anything you want it to be.

Use IE Favorites, or Netscape Bookmarks, to organize yourself. I prefer Netscape because you have 2 sections to organize favorites and can make notes on the links you save, including what they are for, as well as renaming links as you do in IE. Plus the password and form fill in features of Netscape (like a built in roboform) are awesome and unrestricted in that the free version of roboform limits you to 30 saved pw's ... Smile I have loads more than that.

In my browser bar I have the standard Home, Mail, Bookmarks, but also have

Affiliate Mgmt (my merchant programs and networks),
Family (for personal family things),
Memberships (like Forums, webmail, etc.)
Tools (I keep links to web tools I found that are truly great to use)
SBI (for my sbi login, and any links and references I want to bookmark, including a subfolders for links to exchange, links exchanged, and links verfied)

then I have a special folder called "WEB" with subfolders to bookmark template sites, info on copyright and trademarks, sites I want to keep an eye on design wise, or otherwise, anything related to general webmaster type topics.

In my mail program, I also set up folders based on direct and indirect interest to my work ... So I have a folder for my site, with subfolders on correspondence relating to link exchange and verification, visitor emails and replies, newsletter copies, etc.

I also have folder for affiliate programs, and subfolders for each network, and prominent merchants.

I have subfolder set up for each mail account I have (now 4 personal and 4 web related) and keep certain email accounts for subscriptions and newsletters, one for all my affiliate programs , etc.

Ok, my time is running out ... I also now use a time management software program and have placed myself on time limits for productivity. It's called Alarm Master, 30 day free trial, $10 registration if you like it. Awesomely easy to use, manages my calendar, appointments, notes, and time limits. I do recommend it.

Hope this helps,
Debs
