I'm posting this is the newbie section cos I think it will be most beneficial to people here. I'm writing this post to encourage people that are struggling with internet marketing to get doing something.
I have a plan for the next 30 days, this may inspire you to do something about your own situation, or you may just laugh at me - take your pick.
My greatest strength recently has been reading - WickedFire, blogs, sites etc etc etc. Recently I've picked up so many beautiful nuggets of information that I just can't believe it's all available for free on the internets.
But at the same time it is my biggest weakness. I find the time to read WickedFire (hell I even had time to write this post) but where's the next piece of content for one of my projects? Where's the next PPC campaign? I think I get high off of forums, it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. But that warm fuzzy feeling ain't making me no dough.
So, the plan is simple - get organised. I have the time to work on internet marketing, I just need to get into the right mindset.
And... I'm limiting myself to only checking blogs, feeds, forums (even WickedFire
) to when I'm at work (day job). My job doesn't need my full concentration and it allows me to benefit from all the lovely information without having to sacrifice proper working time.
Any other noobs want to follow me in this then feel free to post your own ideas and aims in this thead if you like.
And for anyone wondering why would I bother to post this. It's simple - accountability. Yes I know, it's very strange trying to be accountable to some random peeps on the internet - but the basic principle is still there. If I commit to do this, and then 30 days later I report back saying that I sat back, ate pizza and hit F5 on my Adsense stats all month I'm gonna feel a little stupid to say the least.
