Yesterday, day 2 of the Super Affiliate Challenge, I wrote four articles and for the first time ever, I hired my first outsourcing! I paid two warrior writers from the classifieds section here on WF to write some articles for me. I gave them the niches/topics, some keywords, and other criteria and specifics.
I read the Master Checklist twice today, taking notes as ideas and "wth does that mean?" moments struck me.
I am honestly concerned about the "homework" we have to do, as at first glance it seems like a colossal waste of time the way we are supposed to do it. I understand WHY, they want us to document our efforts and to create accountability, but man it sure seems awfully inefficient. I am going to brainstorm ways to cut down on the time, for example, there has got to be some sort of program that automates taking screen shots and saving them in a download folder as a .jpg, right? Please god let there be one!
I currently do screen shots by opening Photoshop, making a new file, pasting the screenshot (which is on the clipboard after hitting 'Print Screen' on the keyboard) into PS and then saving it for web, as an optimized JPG. This will take FOREVER with the homework!!!!!!!!
Later today I will research this and hopefully find something, or, I just may have to out source my "homework" LOL!
That's all for today.

I'm trying to get my head around documenting my progress too. I think articles etc should be ok as it's URLs they want - though capturing 75 URLs this week is not going to be fun. And the 250 forums posts later on will be even worse!
I'm sure you could do print screens more quickly. What operating system are you using? On a mac it's easy to capture part of the screen and it's automatically save as a png file. I'm sure there must be a windows equivalent.Posted 20th March 2010 at 02:57 AM by Mrs S

Yeah the links aren't that bad, I already save all of my profile backlinks and such things in text files for easy access if I need something, so that won't be a problem.
It's in the later weeks when we have to document PM's and things with screenshots that will be a pain in the bum. After finding that auto-screencap to .jpg software, is to just stick all the screen caps in a PDF document, all links in a text file, and so on. Then just zip it up as a zip file and attach it to the email when I email that weeks homework (and make sure it has my name as the file name of course!).
Should work.Posted 20th March 2010 at 06:00 AM by Marakatapolis
