I need motovation! How hard will it be to earn $167 per day?

i'm guessing the $167 a day is to get yourself to $5000 a month.

I agree with ProductCreator here, one of the best forms of motivation is fear itself. Knowing that if you don't achieve a certain level of income from your business, this will have an adverse/knock-on effect.

I think as well, when you are fairly new to IM, procrastination can come about because of a number of different factors, but the main reason noobs don't take action is fear that they may not be good enough or that they can't do certain things...and once you start to hesitate or have this negative mindset, this will effect your results.

I still have articles, blogs, websites plastered all over the net and when i read some of my older work, it kind of makes me laugh. I was always in sales mode rather than actually trying to provide something of use, but the thing was i kept going and as eventually my content and way of thinking improved..(i still have a long way to go!).

i think you need to give us an idea of what you did to produce the $250. Also look upon that as a success. Did you rinse and repeat the method that got you to $250? What did you learn from that? What will you have to do differently or even the same next time around?

Lack of motivation, even in the face of fear, is often related to depression. I can say that, because this is my problem. It's not a deep depression, but enough that even the reality that I could lose my home in 6 months if I don't make drastic changes doesn't seem to make much difference.

Depression can be triggered by constant lack of success, despite your efforts. Once you get beyond this failure wall, any mild depression and lack of motivation will lift rapidly.

One great way to move in that direction is to figure out exactly what you need each day to make it happen. So if you want to reach $5000 a month income, break it down into days... what you'll sell at what price and how many sales it will take each and every day.

Next, create a lengthy list of all the things you could do that will bring sales. So, you won't waste time checking emails, visiting the WF (), messing with your web site, cleaning up your computer files, looking at other products that can help you, or anything else that is not about making money.

Your list will include:

• finding JV partners
• Contacting JV partners
• inviting affiliates
• direct promotions (articles submissions & link exchanges with related sites, PPC (if that's what you do), looking for outlets to get the word out, etc.
• listing your offer on various affiliate networks
• sending viral products around the internet with links to your offer
• finding places to put those viral products, free ads, and everything else
• figuring out where your market hangs out and go there
• promote in newsletters and other products that your market sees on a regular basis

As you make a bit more money every week, your motivation will start to kick in. The more you make, the more motivated you will become. Once that happens, just continue doing all the things that work to keep that motivation going.

Of course, your motivation will always be in jeopardy if you don't like the business you've chosen. So make sure you actually enjoy what you're doing.
