frustrated

I understand your pain and frustration. This is the place to ask for help and motivation. Just deciding to take positive action every single day and learn something new in the IM market that you want to target will go a long way towards getting you further up the ladder to success.

Seems like you dont know what you want or something like that, it was same for me.

My best advice is to take 1 thing you really like and stick with it all day long, until you see $$$ rolling in, when it happens you will probalby stick with that, and if you continue you should see earning yourself some big money thats for sure.

So stick with 1 thing

If you are shooting arrows in different direction, better set it up on one target. Like setting a goal so that you can focus on it daily.

Hey xinickix,

There's a ton of great information right here on the Warrior Forum to help you get started.

The key is to start with small tasks and do them consistently. Once you get in the habit of doing them on a daily basis, start adding more tasks.

Before you know you will start seeing some results.

It's important to build on each of these small successes that you have

Break down what you need to do into smaller parts. Then break those into smaller parts.

(By the way, mind mapping software works great for this.)

So for email marketing, you know you need:


- A list
- An email campaign
- Something to sell


Let's break it down even more:

A list
You need to...
- Decide on an autoresponder.
- Decide how to build a list (blog, PPC, etc.)
- Decide what market to go after

An email campaign

- How many emails?
- How often are they going out?
- Direct sale or advertorial?
- Are you writing them yourself or hiring a copywriter?

Something to sell

- Are you making your own product? Do you have upsell products to go with it?
- Will you use affiliate products?

I'm sure you already see that even each of these will have more subtopics.

Once you break everything down, it lessens the frustration, and becomes easier to figure out what to do next.

Don't let a little frustration stop you! Face the problem and deal with it!

I feel your pain. Follow Benjamin's advice and maybe get a friend or mentor to hold you accountable and ask the hard question. Just to keep you focused.

Those who succeed see obstacles as stepping stones. Those who do not see obstacles as stumbling blocks.

For goodness sakes, just plow through. Experience is a great teacher. Failure is only a bridge to where you want to be, but you'll never get their if you don't cross it.

Stop making excuses and looking at all the big bad obstacles in your path and JUST DO IT.

Seriously.

Try this

A Lots of folk have a problem with planning. You know the old saying "people don't plan to fail they just fail to plan", Well here is a simple way to plan any project.

For the example below I have used the plan I made when I set up my own writing service.

1.You visualize your goal

and the feeling you'll have when you achieve it.



2.You set a completion deadline.

This deadline doesn't have to be 'set in stone' but if you don't set some date to finish you never will finish.



3. You make a 'roadmap'.

Think about this, if you are going on a journey to a place where you have never been before you need a map to get you there.



4. You make a commitment.

Sign and date your map and put it up somewhere you can see it (ideally when you wake up in the morning and before you go to sleep at night.)





These are the steps I took to plan my own writing service:

1. I'm now a professional Ghostwriter!

2. Client has paid my fee into PayPal

3. My Article has been accepted by client

4. I have submitted my article to prospective client

5. I have completed and checked the article

6. I have completed the research for the Article

7. I have studied and I understand the prospects brief

8. I have received a brief from the prospect

9. I have sent a sample article to the prospect

10. I have received an enquiry from a prospective client

11. I have posted advertising my writing service to writing job sites and forums

12. I have written my post advertising my writing service

13. I have checked the average writing fees

14. I have written some sample articles for my niche

15. I have set a date for my writing service to 'go live'

16. I have chosen my niche

17. I have researched likely niches that I am interested in and know I could write about

18. I have drafted my 'roadmap', signed and dated it

19. I have visualized my writing service up and running

20. Decision made to start a writing service

21. I have visualized what it would be like to have my own writing service and to be able to earn a living working from home.



Then all I had to do was rewrite the above putting no 21 first 19 second etc., and that was it- plan made!

Hope you find the above useful. And if you do please share it with others.

Prosperity to all Warriors
