Get Off Your But And Do Something - Rant To Follow....

7 replies
Fellow Warriors,

This is a post more to myself than it is to all of you.

I am a lurker. Have been off and on this forum for years. I have bought WSO's over the last few years only to have them pile up in my downloads folder and not do a damn thing with them. I went thru them the other day - pretty good stuff that I never did anything with over the years.

So, what's my point you might ask?

I am getting to it, I promise that I am.....sometimes it takes me a minute to get to my point.

----

You need to take action! That is my point. You need to pick a direction and just jump off of that cliff and go for it.

For years I have owned a successful online company - I sell auto parts online. Have been doing it for years. I am somewhat successful in this, blah, blah.

I have also been in and out of cpa affiliate marketing for the past two years both as a publisher and as an advertiser. I was and continue to be somewhat successful, blah, blah.

Ironically, neither of these statements have really anything to do with this post. They are just me setting the stage.

----

What I really love to do is create. I have always been in love with the idea of creating my own digital product. And, for years I have talked about creating my own Clickbank digital product.

Well, now I am finally getting off of my butt and doing it. I am in the process of creating my first product right now.

And, it is one of the coolest things I have ever done. I am working with developers, coders, copywriters, etc., etc.

----

It is cool to me because it is is me finally chasing and doing something that is very important to me.

I am not going to bore you with the some diatribe about how you need to chase your dream, blah, blah. But, I am going to post here that at the end of the day you need to take action.

Get off of your butt and DO SOMETHING in this Internet Marketing game. That is why you are here, isn't it?! Because you are interested in this arena.

Figure out what you want to do - cpa affiliate marketing, building your list and marketing to it, building a niche site to sell something.....whatever - JUST DO IT (to steal a catch phrase from a major sportswear company)!!!

Just take a step. You will find that the first step you take will lead to another step, and that step will lead to another, etc., etc.

That is all for now! Go forth and make some money!!

Peace,
Austin

    i never understood why people buy WSOs and obviously never look at them so they simply pile up on their computers?

    Maybe those people are afraid since 99,9% of WSOs/method require some work..and they expect something handed to them which "magically" creates money - but this wont ever happen without your own motivation TO DO something.

    Those people might rather spend money on the lottery or something in the hopes for "free money" But i am glad you started doing something!!

    If you're not going to do any actual work... then your better off investing in stocks or something like that - an online business is a business... every business takes 'work' the same basic rules apply online as they do offline

      Plus, you'll feel much better, knowing that you decided to do something and actually take that first step.

      I can relate. Years ago, I was very hesitant about writing articles for money and publication. I stopped reading about doing that and just did it, with great results. Overcoming initial hesitation, in my opinion, is the biggest roadblock.

    I agree with everything that has been said on here, first of all props to you for creating your own product. In my opinion that is the best way to build an online empire. You are also correct about taking action and knowing what it is that you need to do next. Make sure that you have a plan in place to know what it is that you need to do next.

      Great, you started! Have you got a plan in place to make sure you finish?

      I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but just remember: Inactivity obviously doesn't get the job done but inappropriate activity doesn't offer any better result other than making you feel busy.

      While you're full of energy, enthusiasm and confidence make a plan, write it down and hold yourself to it.

    The first step is the hardest. That being (as you've said) to take action and go for it. Congrats on getting it going. But don't lapse back into your normal ways of putting it off thinking "maybe someday I'll do it"

    Basically, as has been said many a time on this forum. Keep your eye on the goal, and don't give up.

    Cheers
