Non Affiliate Fun In Perth! Kirsty Stalls On The Work!
Kirsty's World Trip, Life Outside Affiliatedom Add commentsWell hello! It occurs to me I haven’t done much blogging recently. So what’s happened? Well, a few things.
1 ) We have arrived in Perth, and the weather is rubbish and I am freezing all of a sudden. This has resulted in me achieving affiliate hibernation mode. This little known condition prevents you from doing much in the way of work, and lots in the way of procrastination.
2 ) We arrived here for a family party. It’s my other half’s stepfather’s sister’s 50th birthday at the moment and so we have been drunk for 5 days. I tried really, really, hard to sober up after the third day but unfortunately our kind host here in Perth (another of the Stepfather’s siblings) has a wine cellar I could quite happily move into. He used to own a vinyard and he’s one of them blokes who seems to deliver drinks to your glass using guerilla skills the SAS could learn a lot from. It’s been great spending time getting to know my future step in-laws. Yes, this family is very complex as I am discovering. Don’t even get me started on all the half brother and sister in-laws I am about to obtain from other areas of my new family! Particularly don’t ask me about my new nephews and nieces to be. The youngest is 16, and the eldest is a BMW driving 24 year old. This is making me feel horribly elderly, despite only just having turned 30 recently.
3 ) I’ve done a lot of explaining to people I’ve been meeting for the first time about what affiliate marketing is. As usual lots of people nod, look a bit vague and then say “Gosh, I have to learn to do that!” and ask lots more questions. As a result, I’ve been feeling a little bit “affiliate marketing-ed out!”
4 ) It’s the other half’s birthday soon, so we are spending quality time together and I am taking him on lots of shopping trips to see if I can spot him admiring a potential present. This has not yet worked, and as it’s 3 days till his birthday, I am getting a mite concerned. Ideas on a postcard.
I think the next article I am going to write is about how to shake off affiliate procrastination syndrome which strikes us all at some time or another. Unfortunately, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet….

Hi Kirsty,
You have people bugging you about affiliate marketing as well! LOL
I get hammered with questions from people all the time. I just stopped telling them what I do. If people ask I just say something vague like “I own a marketing business” or “I work from home” or “Yes, I still work a job!” (complete lie but it shuts people up!)

Yeah, I do… and I’ll never forget that I once ended a fledgling romance with a bloke who wanted to learn affiliate marketing after he said “No, I don’t need any more information on it, I’ve got the hang of it now anyway.”
I’d only spent about an hour telling him about it. He was a software developer and I don’t think he could come to terms with a girl knowing about something complex that he didn’t.
So I gave him the boot with extreme prejudice, lol!
