Some guys are lucky they ever made a dime online working at home or not. There is a particular super affiliate – we all know him – who has obviously been quite successful in affiliate marketing. Now he is blogging and sometimes talking to us via his blog. He goes on and on and on but really says nothing. I read Seth – to learn – I read Shawn – to Learn – I read this blog, Amit – to learn. And…..I do learn. Then you go over to the other blogger and it teaches you nothing. He rambles on and on. Obviously working at home has affected this man. He can’t communicate – he puts you to sleep and although I am hopefully waiting for the golden nugget I can’t find it and I keep going to sleep! If this is going to happen to you – yes, absolutely find a shared office – play darts together – do something to practice your communicative skills. But don’t turn in to a guy that to fill in for his missing social life rambles on and on and on. If you, the boring blogger, happens to read this and picks up on the clues that its you. Please sir! Go out and do something fun – then come back and with enthusiasm teach us something! Teach us in five minutes not a painful 20 or 30! Oh my.

I live in a major city (New York) so I am going to look for something like that since you just put the idea in my head. I have never seen anything like that before but if I can find it that would be the ideal situation. Too many distractions at home and I never seem to focus as well when in my underwear as I use to when I took a shower and drove to an office. Hopefully I can find a good situation otherwise I might have to rent and office and sublet the other space to like minded internet entreprenuers myself. Yebot you are on to something for sure.

I like your idea, Yebot. It would be nice to stop by a coworkers desk and chat or play a prank or two.

Think about it, everyone is running their own businesses but they share in office space. Cut down in office costs and you get the group atmosphere. Best of all, no one has a boss.

They vary a bit, but coworking places give you a desk or a cube, power, net connectivity etc... the difference is that it's a space shared by other independent workers so you get 'coworkers' who face similar issues and provide some social contact. People ususally don't spend 5 days a week in the coworking facility - they go in when they want to, work at home when they want. It's basically a way to geta change of scenery, be around people but not be hanging out in a coffeeshop etc. Most coworking places have meeting rooms you can use too if you need to do that.

You're right the one thing that can weigh on an affiliate is the isolation ... Having a blog helps but it is not that social interaction... find hobbies with wifey, gf, or just some good friends and do that once/twice a week, that has helped me a lot. One thing you mentioned is a daily to do list ... this can do wonders in productivity, simply writing it down! Discipline is a must when working from home / by yourself.
