Now, I began my affiliate marketing
using the article marketing technique because I didn't want to invest
any money, proving to myself that it was possible. I still believe it
is, I just don't seem to have the patience for it.
I'm still looking for that good,
consistent time to devote to my affiliate marketing endeavor that
will keep me on track of my goals. Even an hour a day can pay off in
the long run, so it doesn't need to be a substantial amount of my
time. When your writing, it's not that bad to sit down for maybe
twenty minutes and then take a break. It can almost be more
productive using that approach rather than forcing content out of a
four hour work block. And it can be surprising how quickly your
output can increase and accumulate over time, so doing it now is of
the utmost importance.
I have sold some items on Ebay,
creating a positive balance in my PayPal account. Once I discovered I
could purchase the domain and hosting using funds from that account,
it didn't take much of an investment to obtain a website.
So a lot of my time is being spent
behind the scenes, playing around with the templates and learning
what to do. Being completely new to this, it can be overwhelming with
all the options that are available to you. Sometimes you can over
think it, causing more frustration than progress. It's hard not to
think I have to get it perfect before I make it public. But thinking
about it more, I think I may loose out on an accidental opportunity
or even learning from mistakes, teaching me more than if I didn't do
anything.
I have the option of launching an
instant page, so I plan on spending available time to get that up and
running this weekend. It shouldn't take to much time, but I'd like to
have it up to decent standards before I publish it. But not be
concerned with perfection. This page is available until I have the
actual site running. That alone should give me enough flexibility to
help learn.
Total cost for the website and hosting
was just under ten dollars, making it surprisingly reasonable. But at
that price, it gives me customization and a lot of research will
accompany that. It already has.
The biggest obstacle I've encountered
is myself. Trying to take too much in on all the aspects of
developing a website. I want to be creative, but that desire slows me
down, causing me to waiver between two or more ideas with an
inability to make a choice.
I know I'll get a great sense of
accomplishment when I actually have my web site up and running. I
just need to stop over thinking and just produce.
