Man, It's So Much Easier To Quit!
It's true though, isn't it? It would save me a lot of time and aggravation if I decided just to pack it in go on my merry way! Sometimes I feel like that...
See I have noted a lot of my early successes throughout my 2+ months here at WA. I envisioned me progressing, not regressing. What happened here? I'm getting plenty of traffic. In two months of working Ezine and other article sites, I have over 4,000 clicks / hops. It's kind of depressing.
Here's what I was told though. THE HOLIDAYS JUST SUCK FOR INFORMATION PRODUCTS! And it makes perfect sense. A day before Thanksgiving (that's 11/26 for those not in the US), my sales just stopped. I'm still getting traffic - just no sales. But it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
Come the Holidays, everyone's focus is on Christmas gifts, not buying a guide to lose weight or to learn how to bowl a damn bowling ball! That's actually reassuring a bit to know that it isn't necessarily what I'm doing more so than what the consumer is doing.
So what I did on one of my campaigns is I switched out my original product that I was promoting with a product that was $10 less. We'll see if that helps.
And you know what, if it doesn't? So what! It doesn't mean that I'm going to quit. At this point, I think I have invested too much time and effort to pack it in and go home. For me, I view this as a time where the weak get weeded out from the strong.
How much can I push myself to keep at it?
How much can YOU push yourself to keep at it?
Yes, consistent work and no results sucks. But you know what else sucks?
-
Being stuck at a job knowing that you aren't going anywhere else
- Knowing that you cannot provide for your family the way that you would like
- Not knowing how you are going to pay for your kid's college
- Scrambling to make your mortgage payment each month
- or JUST BEING MEDIOCRE!!!!!
I'm tired of just being mediocre. I'm tired of doing a hell of a job at work, but still making peanuts. I know I can do this.
Believe in yourself. Everyday, ask yourself the "why" question.
"Why are you here"
Remind yourself constantly.
Now stop reading my rant and get back to work!!!!
