Where do I go from here?

I have my website set up (Blog - JamesCanzanella.com) I am an affiliate marketer for building muscle and losing body fat)

Signed up for getresponse and have done 60 follow ups

Have a squeeze page, 2 fb pages, youtube channel, and lots of credibility on a high traffic forum.

I have these great tools but I am stuck on where to go from here.

Pumping out blog articles? Building list, relationships, traffic, how to get traffic, ppc, etc?

I have gotten to the frustration point where I need to just get away from my office because of the lack of productivity.

Any recommendations?

    There's too much you have asked and not enough info..

    building a list is the perennial of IM so never stop building it.

    What do your prospects want? If you can answer this fully then you can gear your next step/product...

    If you don't know the exact needs and desires of your prospects then you should start there.

    Pumping out endless articles is not the answer and it's no wonder you need a break if your thinking along those lines.

    Why not create a target, list the obstacles that stand in the way of you achieving the target and over come the obstacles by taking daily core commitments that will help you knock them over one by one?

    This is business.

    Recycle your content IDEAS by writing out original blog posts from your forum posts. Turn these into autotweets. The key is to WORK ONCE and reap the reward many times. Efficiency is the key here.

    Have you found the keywords you're shooting for, organic SEO wise? If I we're you, I'd make it a daily objective to publish 1 blog post per day and start investigating into link building and SEO. If you've got a budget, PPC or media buys could be your route, but that's a bit more difficult. Submission work to article directories, press releases, web 2.0's. That's all quality stuff that will bring up your rankings.

    You can go so much more from here.. I'd suggest working on your backlinks and trying to rank higher in google to get some seo traffic.

    Lots of great ideas ... But the thing is that all of this affiliate / Internet marketing is entirely all new to me. It seems like with every idea ... There are 100s of different strategies to do them

    I am basically a bodybuilder coming into the affiliate marketing aspect of building muscle and losing body fat. For example, I don't know the difference between organic seo and 'nonorganic?' seo and all of the info out there is making my head spin.

    I am coming across the same challenges people have when looking to build muscle or lose body fat, yet I don't know how to overcome this challenge with my situation

    Everything you do should benefit/use your list in one way or another.

    I spent about 5 years trying to make consistent money online, and I made money, but I was constantly going from rags to riches and back again, because I DIDN'T BUILD A LIST.

    So yeah, build a list

    You don't have do it all for traffic generation, link building. You can find JV partners or outsource it.

    Hi James,

    You'll get a ton of good insight from some great people here (you already have), so I will focus on just one thing: the email list.

    You already have an advantage being as you are a member of the community you are trying to market to. Use that insight and knowledge, determine what the most asked questions are in that niche and then create blog content and email content which answers those questions -- that's what basic good content is. Use google, your fellow body builders and your list to find out what people want/need to know and provide that. Be the resource for them.

    Regards,
    jim
