Taking quick action without over-analyzing = Results

This post is towards newcomers or those who get stuck over-analyzing things with no serious action.

I would have preferred to make this as a detailed real case study by providing links and screenshots and stats etc. but it would seem as a self-promotion so I filtered that parts out of my post. Besides, it is the idea that is important, not the exact details. This is nothing new or groundbreaking but the focus of my post is the importance of taking quick action without over-analyzing things as it is the only way you will get real results.

Most of the times, information overload and over-analyzing prevents us from taking action and making money. Especially when you are new to the world of Internet Marketing. I was a victim of that myself for a very long time when I first started. The more I stopped learning (without application) the more I quit over-analyzing things, I was able to take more action and see results. I am still not at a point where I am totally happy about taking quick action but I am working towards there.

This is about how I took quick action to promote a product and made money. I will list all actions I took step by step to make it easier to follow. You can apply the same concept in any niche you are targeting. This is not rocket science.

So, a couple of days ago, I was checking the upcoming IM product launches on a website. The first one I saw grabbed my attention which was launching that day. I checked its sales page and noticed it was a high quality product.

1. I contacted the seller and asked for a review copy.
2. Installed the product and tested it myself and I liked it.
3. Since I liked the product, I decided to promote it to my list and applied as an affiliate on the network the product was listed.
4. Wrote a review about it on my website about two hours before the launch time.
5. Quickly prepared a bonus to include in my promotion.
6. Sent an email to my list at the launch time about the product, giving a link to my review and also providing the info how to get my bonus.
6. Sent another email the next day to those who did not open the first email.
7. The product converted well, I didn't make huge money but I was happy with the result. So I thought I could sell more if I could reach more people other than my list and decided to advertise on this forum for one day.
8. Prepared and uploaded a simple banner. It was approved the next day.
9. Paid for the banner and it went live. During the time it was live, it generated more money than the banner price and some recurring purchases which will likely bring more money in months to come.

Now, when I look back I know that there are things that I could have done differently/better and made more money in promoting this product. But I also could have get stuck with over-analyzing things without taking any action and making no money. This taking quick action did not only made me money but also gave me valuable lessons which I will use in my next promotion to take quicker action and to make even more money.

In summary, you should stop over-analyzing and you should not be afraid of taking quick action. The more you take action, the more you will start to understand what will work and what will not.

I wish you an actionful week
