This is why you aren't succeeding with CPA
Something sort of inspirational here during Christmas time. As someone who has earned his recent income primarily with Facebook paid advertising, I recently launched my new (and first) WSO dealing with that source of traffic. Since then, I have been getting in touch with a lot of people asking all kinds of questions about how to profit from Facebook. And there was one thing I noticed a lot, and it basically applies to ANY traffic source people have not tried - it's that people are simply scared of "jumping in", getting the grips with something they were not familiar with before. They might have read other people's unsuccessful attempts to profit off that new traffic source, pushing all kinds of doubts into their heads.
And that is exactly why people have trouble succeeding like I mentioned in the thread title here. The one weakness that will kill your profits? It's fear.
We all have fears of failing, of spending money and not seeing any return. Yet if there is one thing to take away from this whole industry, especially if you are dealing with CPA, where offers are often short-lived, it's that you need to move out of your comfort zone, you need to keep pushing the envelope. Without risking anything, you can only follow the tried and true. And when the tried and true eventually stops working...well, where will that leave you?
Now this might be obvious to a lot of people. But really, how often do people actually ACT on knowing this? If you are scared of trying new things, honestly - you're not cut out for this business. Again, we are talking about a business that LIVES on innovation and progress. That does not mean you should try something without any clue of how it could work. BUT you need to stop looking at your "failures" as actual failures. Rather, see it as investing in your future success.
If you are scared of losing money, then save up a certain amount you can afford to lose - in the same way that stock traders keep a reserve at all times. And do not be scared to spend that money. From my experience, if you really embrace this attitude, then the more often you go out of your way to risk and innovate, the more confident you will become repeating this process in the future.
Anyway, I hope this post will at least inspire some people to stop thinking about what could go wrong - and look forward to how their career as an internet marketer could flourish once it goes right.
Enjoy the last few days of 2009 everyone - and make sure to put something out of this in your New Year's resolutions!
When life gives you lemons, at least you don't get scurvy.
