Overwhelmed! Anyone Else?

I didn't start taking IM seriously until about 6 months ago and have made about $2500 along the way through seo traffic and cpa offers. one problem is is this isn't sustainable income. Not to mention before I say anything else I have big time OCD and I am a perfectionist. I'm looking to make at least $2500 a month but I'm confused where to go now. I know how to set up websites but I'm afraid of putting my hard work into these sites when they are just temporary. Do I keep concentrating on building a bunch of sites based around individual products or is there a way to create more sustainable income through affiliate marketing? My wheels have been spinning and spinning on a daily basis my mind is so tired of thinking of a million ways to take what I know and make more money

    Start creating products. Once you have products you can build a list and you can market to that list forever. Also, products give you leverage and that's really when things started to turn around for me.

    Start an offline business. Where you offer to do online services to offline businesses.
    $2500 could be done within the first week if you are dedicated and serious.

    You can always expect the possibility of putting your hard work into something
    and it will not work out well, maybe fail or the wind changes direction and spoils
    the fun.

    It's part of everything. Accept it.

    Yes, you can create a sustainable income with affiliate marketing or really anything
    else. Create mailing lists with affiliate marketing or product creation.

    A sustainable anything will always require more input at some point in order to
    sustain it. >> One of the laws of thermodynamics that applies to everything.

    It is just that some things require less energy as it builds momentum.

    But with affiliate marketing or product creation, the work is front-end loaded, generally
    speaking.

    If you do not diversify your marketing, then you are endangering sustainability.

    Make an effort to stop making everything perfect. You are talking to perfectionism
    personified here. It takes effort to draw the line and let it go. If you don't, then
    you will always be fighting your self and creating inner conflict because you keep
    doing it. Takes time but worth the effort.

    Drive your traffic to a squeeze page and build a list (offer a free report or similar) - do it in multiple niches.
