What Cooking can Teach us About Affiliate Marketing

Despite having an outpatient surgical procedure yesterday I woke up at 4AM ready to take on the world. My boyfriend and I got our bulldog ready for her predawn walk. I shuddered as the crisp fall Arizona air sliced through my jacket I knew today was going to be perfect to make chili.

I de-thawed, seasoned and browned both the chili meat and bacon and went on adding a few other things such as vegetables and onions to my trusty crock pot. Everything was moving along nicely until I accidentally dumped a quarter cup of onion salt into my crock pot.

Tempted to throw in the towel and toss out my chili, I decided to see how I could fix my over seasoned mess. It only took a few key strokes to discover I had several options. I could add more ingredients such as potatoes, sugar or even sour cream. I opted for adding large chunks of potatoes I can later take out along with adding some brown sugar. Brown sugar pairs beautifully with bacon right?

Now my once ruined chili has a depth and richness that is absolutely yummy and what was once a disaster is starting to taste like a masterpiece.

Then it occurred to me that this also applies to affiliate marketing. How many times have you sought out to create something amazing, only to find you made a huge mistake? Perhaps you feel there is no recovering from it and would be best to throw it all way and give up.
