What are your daily pains?

by Ed Micah
18 replies
As an internet marketer, I believe everyone of us had faced a lot of problems, issues, and pains every single day throughout our journey to financial-freedom.

Except for "not making any money" or "making too much money", what are your daily pains that do every single day?

What takes up most of your time fixing/doing?
What cost you the most to do something?

I'll start first --
For me, I spend a lot of time trying to track my traffic to improve conversion rate and to master my sales funnel skills, hopefully automates my traffic into sales every single time..

Yours?

PS -- What would you wish to have if there was something that saves you money/ that automates/does/fixes your daily pains?

    For me it still gets down to learning some pretty basic technical skills. This side of things has taken up a lot of my time...gettingbetter but the rate of learning and effort put in sometimes has me scratching my head

    Fortunately since I have multiple income streams it isn't a major problem re $$$ but it still takes up my time.

      I can only be creative for so long before I start getting a sore head and tired eyes.

    Definitely managing workload is one of my main issues even with planning and core commitments. It is easy to get distracted. Putting limits on the amount of time I spend on a particular area helps to focus though.

    As Jay Abraham says "fall in love with your prospects and clients." This has been a tough nut to crack and something I have to work on growing every day. Empathy is one thing, love is another... Will keep on keeping on...

    Getting idea's into products and services is the other area that I find hard. Great idea's are useless unless we can make something of them. RichShefren says about keeping a journal to help our idea's turn into reality.

    I wish there was an easier way to get commission-based sales workers. Its great to be able to handle more work, but not if you can't grow because you are spending all your time on selling yourself.

    Also, is this thread your attempt at 'The Foundations' technique?

    Ed,

    Daily pains, uh?

    Old age

    My wife! :p

    Absolutely any thing above "Copy and Paste" technical. And that is the absolute truth. Very, very time consuming.

      Basic technical skills, that's a stage everyone of us had to go through with, but once you are over, you are there! Best of luck with that

      If you do come up with any problems, you may post in this thread, and we'll have a discuss!

      Time management - it is my 2nd pain. It is easy to get distracted OR get overloaded with information. And it is important to stick to one or two projects.

      Yet, unique ideas are a bigggg pain of every product creator, but there are ways around it. If you can find the problem, you can find a solution - and bang there you go, that's an idea to create a service or product!

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your daily pains, best of luck and I hope to see you succeed soon!

      Yeah, definitely. Creativity is another one; it's so important nowadays so you can catch prospects eyes.

      You are right , it kind of inspired me a lot. Trying not to limit their technique in that area. And if you know what they're doing/ I am doing, you could pretty much get something out of this thread too!

      That's learn and grow together!

    For me it's product creation.

    I am a perfectionist and that is not helpful.

    I have to keep reminding myself, "it's not about perfection, it's about completion."

    This helps me to get my products out there in front of my market and then improve them based upon the responses I get, instead of spending all my time revising, rewriting, redoing, revideoing, etc an no one seeing my product.

    Time is the biggest issue. There just isnt enough time to do everything that I need to and to the quality that I would like.

    My biggest pain is, I always search for works. When I get a lot of works, I feel lazy to complete them and I always complete an easy work by making it hard. I cannot change it because it has become my habit.

    My daily "pains".... the learning curve
    is ginormous and it often feels totally
    overwhelming....

    I now know a bit about a lot of different
    things that can/will all work together...

    Now, my biggest challenge is getting traffic...
    and, once I have it, what do I do with it?

    Thanks for your question

    I make sure that I do two things - create and communicate. While I track results, I don't over-predict outcomes. It is all in the process. If you keep on doing it, you can expect some results.

    My dog. Keeps barking every single dam night and chews my head in the morning. Should've taken the time to learn dog training haha.

    Besides that, tracking and conversions. Split-testing too. Still trying to get the hang of it.

    Writing. I have the time to do the work but I hate writing. I'm a very direct person (just ask my students) so to come up with content without being too direct is a real chore for me.

    I would outsource it but I'm trying to make money first so I can reinvest it into hiring a writer.

      Thanks everyone for putting in the effort, it's good to see that everyone is sharing about their daily pains.

      I have to admit that, focusing on a certain project, and stick with it is one of the hardest step in my IM journey. Time management is also another issue that comes up a lot.
