Issues Related to Internet Marketing and Stumbling Blocks
Hi Guys
I think this will be quite a relevant topic. I have quite a few emails from people saying that they hit stumbling blocks when putting together campaigns. I even hit quite a few stumbling blocks. Whether it be articles not being listed ( even although you have done the same thing over and over again ) for some reason they just won’t list on google, or personal problems, or time constraints, or just sheer laziness.
I am sure we have all been in the these situations in the past at some point in our internet marketing lives. Well the way I see it this is basically what makes or breaks a marketer!
When the times are tough you have to be able to force yourself to work through these problems. You cannot let them get you down. If you let them get on top of you that is when you start questioning the internet marketing game, whether it is for you, did you make the right choice?
I find that when things get on top of you take a break, clear your head, do something different and take your mind completely off Internet Marketing or your article writing or your backlinking. So something different. You are not a robot and you cannot sit infront of a PC 24 hours a day.
Once you have your head cleared go back to it and before you start make a list of things to do like –
1. write 3 articles
2. submit those articles to bookmarking sites, and get 10 other backlinks to the articles
3. Answer 5 Yahoo Answers
4. Do 5 Blog Comments
5. Make 5 Forum Posts.
Once you have done this stop. You will find that you can do all this in a couple of hours or less. Cross off your list as you go along. You can then see that you have achieved something in those couple of hours.
Set yourself these small goals and do them on a daily basis, it will truly make the difference. When you are feeling low push through it and make a list. That is the best advice I can give anyone. When you are feeling low DO NOT give up. These are the times that will test everyone and if you achieve at least something in these low times then think what you will achieve when you are feeling good, or when you see that extra sale come in. You will be on a high and will want to do more, so write another list and double the values. This is how you achieve things in this online world.
Whatever you do DO NOT GIVE UP!

Hi Carl
Thanks for that. I think it is important to re-iterate. As a lot of people at these points give up on it when the going gets tough or the get frustrated but it is these times that you can use as a springboard to better times.

I have overdid things in the past beliving “more is better”. But is it…?
Wow! You do all that in a couple hours? I try to do that in a week. Finding places to do all that daily is where I’m having problems. And three articles that quick, how do you do it? I guess if you work hard at it, it could be done. I bet that much effort really pays off quickly though!
