Help! I feel so overwhelmed

Why did you quit your job before having a solid plan in place?

It sounds like you've achieved some level of success so take a step back, look at what you've done. What worked and what didn't? Replicate what worked, eliminate what didn't and keep experimenting.

My first suggestion is to do this:

Close out everything that didn't make you money.

Remember what it was that did make you money, and scale that up.

Again, don't invest money unless you know for sure you are following a proven plan.

If you're confused, you don't have to try and build some money making website or anything too turnkey.

You could try going to Fiverr and making some good cash from there to get started. Learn your way. You don't have to get into it head on.

What are you mainly interested in?

You interested in affiliate marketing?

Search the forum here for some ways to get affiliate sales, and start testing to see what works.

Test it out to see which works for you.

I do not think it is a good move quitting your job.

You should relax a bit, and as suggested by wmrwl, take a step back and to clarify things and make a plan.

First of all I would request you not to leave your day job (at least not right now). Then you said you made some cash. So why not scale that up until you make at least $1500-$2500. After getting that much you can always check out Paid campaign. Mind it first you need to lose $400-$1000 to test. When you find a winner just invest high amount of money and make profit and repeat.

Thanks

The good thing is that you already did something that worked.

It's good to have multiple income streams, but you cannot start building a new house without finishing the previous one. So I suggest you go back to one of the successful systems and work on it until you get total control over it.

Another good way to get good focus and break free from been overwhelmed is to get a good coaching program.

I will give you 2 suggestions.

1) Don't buy the shiny objects on this website and others.
2) Write an ebook about a topic you know very well.

Once you get that done you can find a market/forum to sell the ebook to you. This is the quickest way to making money online.

Keep it simple, sounds like you are all over the place. Do some e-books and sell them on here. Sounds like you have some skills and knowledge. But if you need a job I would go get one to take some pressure off yourself.

Keep doing what you're doing now until you get really good at it, then you can move on to other traffic sources or learn other ways to increase your income.

A good rule of thumb is to try to stick to 1 plan or venture and see if it works for you. Give it time and never give up. Don't spread yourself all over the place and go jumping from one venture to another.

Overwhelm is a symptom of the dreaded disease called "shinius objectus syndrome".

Its when someone has been info overload and spreads themselves too thin in the process being jack of all and master of none in many products.

I suggest picking a way to master a skill like seo, list building, graphics or something of great value that people pay lots of money for.

Next is to have funds to feed your business to start.

If you quit your job then you must get a business load. Some way some how to start your business venture.

It is like a baby that needs to be fed. I had three jobs when i got started just to feed my biz, my son and my wife plus the never ending bills of life.

You should find a mentor who can teach you the ropes to save you mistakes and guide you to what works but most coaches are expensive. So do your due diligence to see if they are legit.

I suggest building your list, invest on an autoresponder, have a squeezepage, and have a free bribe to give away to get your traffic's emails.

Build relationship with them and turn them into buyers for life.

Always give value first and foremost!

Stick to one plan only...If I had to do it all over again I would have built my list from day 1...But you need money coming in when you first start out in this business to invest, test and tweak...Provide value and build relationships with other people before you start selling to them

1) Documentation -- what worked, how well, what did you do in the things that worked... same types of info for those things that did not work.

2) Focus -- what realms do you enjoy working in (fb, cl, affiliate pages, etc), perhaps if restaurants is a passion of yours, or even just an area you are very fluent in information wise, consider starting to focus on that

3) Automate! there is not need to be doing a lot of simple tasks by hand... if you are willing to put some money out there there are plenty of softwares out there to help you... or (much fewer) to allow you to create your own software to tailor to your personal tasks

First of all I want to thank everyone who posted. I know leaving my job was probably not the best thing to do it was a decision I made too fast and without a back-up plan. Second I do plan on re-evauating what works and what doesn't and to focus on what does. I will also be looking into making an ebook I already have tools to make one. I am a highly motivated and I know if I just continue on I will reach my goals. Thanks again!

I hope you have plenty of money saved up because quitting your job was very risky. It's extremely rare that people make a living on internet marketing overnight.

You shouldn't have quit your job until you know for sure you have enough money to live off of for the next year. But since you quit your job stick to your plan and just go straight through this wall you are feeling. Consistency is key.

Keeping doing what you're doing that works. I would recommend building an email list. Do something that you like doing or see yourself doing and move towards that.

You can look into paid traffic methods like building a list or cpa marketing. Building a list is so important so try to incorporate it into what you're doing.

One thing about quitting your job, now you don't have a choice. Make money or starve.

Are you building a list or just sending traffic to affiliate offers? If you're not building a list you should set up an AR account before you do anything else. Learn how to use it before you go any farther.
