Feeling Discouraged...Everything was going well and I've hit a Wall

INTERNET MARKETING

I am feeling incredibly discouraged the past few days. Everything was going well with Internet Marketing and I have completely hit a wall.

Even though I have had past successes, I am scared I will put effort into Internet Marketing and not get success.

Also, I am finding I have very little time to do what I know I should do. I need to hire out help. ( I know WHAT to ask people to do.) I have two issues with this: #1 - I do not have a lot of money to spend for help. Although I know I should be re-investing my business money, right now it has been going to pay the bills. #2 This is an unfamiliar territory to me.

What can I use from you?

Would you post some encouragement?

Also, would you provide any hints/tips for hiring inexpensive VA's ?

Thank - you!

Don't give up, since you have not much money now, try to do everything yourself instead of hiring outside help, keep on trying and you'll succeed!!

  There is just no way around that. Any time you try to improve your life or your business, you're taking a risk that your efforts won't pay off. While I hope this doesn't sound harsh, you need to get comfortable with that if you want to do this for a living.

  Something more scary than putting effort in and not seeing a return is procrastinating that time away instead and not getting the experience and results to move forward.
  
  On the subject of VA's - I don't know about inexpensive, but I've had great success finding people on ODesk. And if they use the ODesk desktop app and you pay them hourly, you're only charged for the active time they spend mashing keys.
  
  Thanks

  My Advice... Take a break, couple of weeks just leave all your Internet work if you can.
  
  You will soon want to be back at it and going for it full of vigour again
  
  Plus Don't be too hard on yourself!!! We all have periods when nothing seems to be working or happening, just keep at it and turn the corner.
  
  As for VAs I've never had great success, if you want a job doing well do it yourself. However, having said that if there are less important tasks you can delegate then do so.
  
  Thanks

I got my VAs posting in the Philippines craigslist. My VAs get between $1.50/hr and $8/hr depending on what I have them do. Some are new to internet marketing VA work and may take longer to train, but it has been worth it to me.
