That seems to be a common problem with me here.  I want to try and do things differently from what we're being taught.  What the heck is my problem?!  How many times do you have to bring a horse to water BEFORE THEY DRINK?  Apparently a lot because I'm not drinking enough!

Actually what I really have a problem with over-complicating things.  It seemed that once I had a bit of success, I tried to do too much including websites, e-mail lists, etc.  Being that I am still relatively new, I probably should have slowed down a bit and stuck to what was working....again, not trying to reinvent the wheel!

So this morning, I took my highest visited articles and redirected my links from my website (haven't converted squat) directly to the affiliate offers.  I'm going to let them do the selling for a while!

What I also decided to do was put Squid. on the back burner for a bit.  What I'm going to do is buy cheap domain names for each campaign and just forward them to my affiliate offers.  There are a couple of reasons why I'm deciding to do this -

1.  Time - I won't be spending as much time creating Squid. pages that aren't going to do anything.

2.  Simplify the process - All I need to do is write articles, that's it.  Write, write, and write.

I think that I can get just as much content out there without having to worry about getting sites indexed, backlinks, etc.  Now of course I want to build my owns sites and such, but I need to start creating a steady stream of income first.  I am obviously doing something wrong because none of my sites are converting.  It takes time and a certain skillset to know how to build a dynamic and compeling website.  This is a skill that I haven't yet mastered.

I need to get back on track and I think that simplifying the process is the best way to go.  Even in sports when you see a player struggling, coaches will try and slow things down for them.  Same here!

I do want to give a big thank you though to the entire WA community that continues to support me and help me out when I need it.  Without you all, I probably would have given up weeks ago!

As always, I'll keep you posted!
