Take More Action!

    This is pretty much where I am at the moment, all this reading/learning is great… But what is it that gets results – action.

    You can spend all of your time doing the theory work behind affiliate marketing looking into “what you need to do” but doing it is a totally different story.

    You’ve been wanting to read that new course you’ve bought…
    You’ve found a huge database of unread eBooks that tie into what you’re doing at the moment…
    You want to read as much as possible to keep losses to a minimum…

    All common excuses to not take action and is killing your business, you do have to research what you’re doing but there’s research/finding out what you need to do and then there’s wasting your own time. One thing you can’t get back.

    Some of these courses are a can of worms, they have loads of modules covering PPC, PPV, Media, Social Networking and the rest. Whilst these are all needed to get the most out of your campaign if you intend on working on PPC in the beginning, why waste a week or more going through all of the other material?

    Instead go through the PPC course then take action, when you’re ready to expand go through the rest. This will also help you identify if what there is saying works, it would be a shame to go through everything and when you come to following their instructions it’s a load of crap.

  1. Indeed, experience is the best teacher. This applies to everything about blogging, educating yourself is good, however not implementing the newly acquired knowledge is a waste of time. The blogsphere by its nature provides endless educational resources and it’s easy to spend all your valuable time reading, instead of applying what one has learnt.

    Yeah I agree, same with forums, you can easily get sucked into spending way too much time in there which will kill your productivity.

    Depends how you go about it, there is still a huge opportunity with Google, granted learning the ropes with them can be much harder/more expensive.

    Being honest the more I try out new traffic sources the more I’m hating Google.
