Heapin' Helping of Inspiration, Please...

6 replies
Okay Warriors...would love some "pump me up" words from any of you who have recently started to make some steady income...

I've been working diligently every day for the past 4 weeks...built a blog (hot niche), write articles (daily) posted on ezinearticles, etc, hub pages, videos for youtube, etc...

Have made a few sales (3) but not getting the consistency and upward climb that I'm aiming for...

It is hard work...and I'm not afraid of it...just want my efforts to eventually (operative word) pay off where IM is all I do...

Thanks for any words of advice, encouragement, etc...I feel I'm getting closer but need a push toward the finish line...

      You can't stir a parked car my friend, keep moving and believe in yourself and it will come.
      Some meditation techniques I use are:
      - Self affirmation
      - Visualization
      - Contemplation
      - Try to remember the times when you were successful in something and bring back the success feelings when you visualize and when you do the affirmation..

      Good luck

      What is your motivation and what your goals are? Congrats on making your first sales though! There are a lot of people on here that write one article, post it to some article directories and sit back and wait and then are disappointed when the money doesn't start rolling in. You are doing what will make you successful and this could be applied to any goal.

      It could have been making that first sale and you did that! Way to go! Now what is your next goal? Maybe your first $100 day? Maybe it could be the 100 articles in 100 day challenge on EZA? Both of these can easily be accomplished by doing just what you're doing. Keep your head down, remain focused and be diligent day in and day out as you do the things that sure to bring you closer to your goal.

      Once you hit those goals you'll say "well, that was easy. what next?" How about your first $200 day since the $100 days will start coming on a regular basis. Then maybe a $500 day.

      The cool thing is that along the way you will be picking up skills that will make reaching your goals easier. You will figure out how to write better articles that get more views and more clicks to your offer. You will find more niches that interest you that are profitable that you can write about and help people and you will be rewarded both financially and emotionally.

      It can be a lonely road sometimes working alone like this and at times you feel like you are just spinning your wheels. You might wonder if you should just hang it up and get a real job to make money. But this stuff is all quite possible and for me, quite probable... I know that I can reach any goal that I desire as long as I keep my head down and keep plugging away at it...educating myself, improving myself, learning more and following those that have done it.

      You're smart enough to have become more successful than most of the people that visit this forum ever dream of. I know that it took me longer than most to make my first buck because I'm stubborn and I just didn't understand that this stuff is work. But it can be a hell of a lot of fun and very rewarding both financially and emotionally. The feeling of accomplishment that I get when I see the fruits of my labors is ten times sweeter than the feeling of satisfaction that I get from receiving a paycheck at my regular job.

      Keep up the good work and congrats again!

          LOL! I know that there is some sort of old saying about being just too stubborn to quit or too stupid to quit but either way, persistence pays off. Plus an ability to learn... I'm still working on that one but my stubborn Irish hardheadedness works both for me and against me.

          Yeah, there were many times that I wanted to quit or did quit for a day or a few days but I agree with you. There were more times when "failure isn't an option" came to my mind when I thought to myself, "well, what other bright ideas do you have in mind then?"

    Making a few sales in only 4 weeks of IM is really good, actually!
