Forget all you’ve been told about making money online
They promise you the world with each new guru off but the truth about making money online is kept from you because it takes hard work and commitment - as any business does. The only true path to success is to form or get a plan or blueprint and take the action needed to go from start to finish.
We all know what can happen if we don’t make a plan, we dither, delay and fail. As the mantra goes - people don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan” - and yet we seem to be destined to fail and give up, time after time. So what goes wrong?
It’s so hard to keep focussed - You take a decision and decide on a new plan to profit with every good intention to see this one through. Then you hear the message that “you have mail” and the latest guru offer has arrived and you simply must buy it or lose out on a fortune! The old plan is now forgotten and all the work you’ve done on it wasted as you download new pdfs and watch more videos that lead you to a new path. You stay on this new path until the next offer arrives. It’s time to make a change and focus on your future rather then filling the coffers of the next guru.
We get information overload - then want more - Information overload is the insatiable hunger for more training and the latest product. We buy, we devour then we seem to forget all we’ve read and hunt for our next information meal.
It’s too easy to quit - When the going gets tough the tough give up according to those trying to make a living online. I think it’s a psychological problem that we don’t actually beleive that online success is possible and therefore take the slightest failure such as the lack of traffic after a single article as proof of this negative thought. If we were given not only a blueprint but also step-by-step instructions backed up by support that we could beleive in then our chances of success would be greatly improved.
We don’t invest the necessary time and effort - In one word that means that we don’t take action! Action is what will drive us forward, step by step to success. Even if you feel frustrated or feel like you’re losing ground you must power through and keep taking action or you are bound to fail again.
It really isn’t our fault because everything you’ve been told about affiliate marketing is wrong! We need to stop being lead around like sheep and start taking action and responsibility.
The route to succes is actually surprisingly simple.
1. Choose a path or a product - I’m going to recommend a method below but if that doesn’t appeal then find something that does.
2. Read it through twice. The second time take notes of what steps you need to take and what else you need.
3. Create a detailed task list. Break the plan down further into a task list with everything that you need to do.
4. Start from the top of your task list and begin. Cross them off as they are completed and add any news ones that you come across. Don’t worry if the task list gets any bigger - as that annoying fish said in Finding Nemo -Just keep going!
5. Do a task whenever you have time. This approach will make you very efficient.
6. Just keep going and then have a big push to finish the list.
7. Enjoy the landmarks such as the first sign up to an autoresponder and that first sale.
