Default You Might Be Addicted To Affiliate Marketing If…

Friday is Funday on my blog, so I thought I would share some laughs with you guys.

You Might Be Addicted To Affiliate Marketing If… Friday Funnies

I had a serious case of Internet withdrawal while I was at the Affiliate Summit in Vegas. I didn't take a notebook and swore I would stay offline the entire time - my carpal needed a break. I made it - but had a serious jones every time I thought about all the forums I could not read and all the fights and flames I was missing. (kidding!) My hands would sweat when I thought about the 100's of juicy SPAM emails I would get to delete when I got home. My feet swelled up and hurt even worse every time I thought about how badly I am addicted to sitting on my butt 12 hours a day in front of the computer. Every time we walked past the Internet Kiosk at the hotel, several people had to hold me back. I was screaming "I just need to touch a keyboard, stroke a mouse, please just let me check my email or peak at one forum so I feel better." I needed a fix - bad!

The most serious sign of Affiliate Marketing Addiction however was realizing how many social skills I had lost with the progression of my dis-ease. Remember names? Put names and faces together? Talk to real people instead of typing to them? How do you do that??? When I was talking my fingers would twitch - itching to IM out of habit. Once someone at the convention could not hear my last comment and asked me what I just said - I replied "SCROLL UP."

So for today's Friday Funnies I thought I would share some red flags that may signal you too have a problem and may be Addicted to Affiliate Marketing.

Go read the signs and take the test. If you can relate to more than 3 of the signs, you may have a problem. If you laugh more than 3 times you most certainly have a SERIOUS problem but are in DENIAL and should seek help!

After you read it come back here to share your pain and embarrassment over your condition, your own signs of Affiliate Marketing Addiction, or funny stories that prove that you, YES YOU - are an addict too! ;-)
