When do you get your best ideas? For me, it is usually when I am driving, or at the supermarket, or doing anything else BUT actually working. Often great niche, Internet marketing, website promotion, link building ideas will pop into my head and by the time I get home, of course, they are long gone.

It is a fact that when we are actually sitting at the computer and working on our websites or affiliate marketing is when we are least creative, mostly because we are too focused on the task at hand.

But when our mind is just drifting around, such as when driving, working out or washing dishes that is when the best ideas can just pop into our heads.

I think for the most part that these ideas are truly the best because they are not forced they come naturally as an inspiration and as the old saying goes, the light bulb goes off.

This is so most important in the field of Affiliate Marketing for niche ideas. When you are out and about and seeing things and people in the world around can trigger some great niche ideas, even while watching television or a commercial, there are so many possibilities for a niche to creep into your mind.

Don’t Let These Great Ideas Be Forgotten

That is why I started carrying and having a notepad and pen with me at all times. In fact, I have several, strategically placed so that I am always armed and ready. In reality, these spontaneous ideas are easily forgotten and unless you write them down, you will lose them.

Don’t Let These Great Ideas Go To Waste

Also, it is important not to waste these ideas by just writing them down and then not referring back to them, implementing them and developing them. Because, these ideas are often the greatest ones you will ever have you may miss out on a great opportunity.
