Lately, I have been thinking a lot about my personal relationships and blogging.
When I first started getting into Internet Marketing and Blogging, I knew that it was something that I wanted to do from that moment on. Basicly, I was hooked.
I initially started out building my own websites to offer affiliate products. Then about 6 months later, as a way to promote my websites, I started my first blog. From that point on, I blogged almost every single day.
Unfortunately, this caused my personal relationships to suffer. I would be building my websites, blogging, and trying to drive traffic to my sites all day long. I actually believed those money making programs out there that said "Become A Millionaire While You Sleep". I'm sure that you know the ones I am talking about. Chances are if you haven't purchased one of these programs yourself, you know someone who has.
Needless to say, the program didn't work, I am not a millionaire. (Not Yet Anyway) Even though I should be, I did everything they said to do, except for, spend thousands of dollars upgrading to a "pro-membership" status with the program. What a joke!
However, the money that I did earn was actually from the blog that I had started just to drive traffic to my affiliate websites. So I gave up on those affiliate sites to become more of a full-time blogger.
I love to blog, but I learned real quick that blogging alone can take up most of your time. It wasn't until after my laptop was damaged, that I realized just how much time that I did spend on my blogs.
I know now, that it is important to find a good in-between. You have to take time out of your day to be with the people that you love. What I decided to do is set myself a schedule. I promised my wife that I would only be on the computer for a certain amount of time everyday. For the most part I stick to that schedule. This makes everyone much more happy, especially my two boys, Tyson who is 9 and Aiden he is 4, he is also a real "Daddy's Boy".
So make sure you are putting the computer to the side long enough to spend time with the important people in your life.

NOTE: I still use affiliate Programs, I just don't build websites for them anymore. I also promote affiliate products on my blogs. They are still a good way to make extra money!
