How do you deal with the loneliness of affiliate marketing and blogging?

I wrote about this six years ago, on a blog post entitled "Loneliness of Working at Home". And it's still true today.

I've managed to deal with it through motorcycling. I met other people who ride motorcycles, and interestingly enough, a few of them work in programming and website design, and work for themselves too.

After a day of pounding the keyboard, we like to hit the local tavern for a beer. Then on weekends we'll hit the pavement and do some riding. And even while we're working, we'll communicate via a website we built just for our group of folks.

Seems like on Twitter you find all these "social media consultants" now. It's like that's the new SEO these days.

Everyone wants to be the social media guru, because that's the buzzword now.

Social media consultants are pumping out propaganda on their websites, blogs, and Twitter feeds. They're clamoring to get guest articles into the top websites and magazines, telling businesses that if they're not using Twitter, they're losing money.
