Each year at this time, a lot of ink is spread talking about New Year's Resolutions. In most cases, this ink goes wasted as resolutions are soon forgotten or dismissed.The reasons for this yearly collapse of personal discipline are many-fold.
One, people draw up their resolutions based on old habits they wish to break. Old habits are hard to break simply because they require a constant daily effort to overcome what is ingrained into
lifestyle of
person. It is easy to say to yourself, "Well, I can skip a day." Once a single day has been skipped, it becomes much easier to skip another. Before long,
days have been skipped so many times that there seems no point in trying to pretend anymore.
Two, people may know
reasons why to change
habit, but they don't have one reason that is powerful enough to drive them to change.
Three, people make resolutions to change what they do not possess a true desire to change. Sure, you tell yourself that it is important, but do you feel it important with every fiber of your being?
Now, I will bet you are asking yourself what this has to do with
profitability of your ezine and website.
Well, let us take a look at
passing year. How much did your ezine and website earn in sales this past year? How much in profits?
If
answer to either of these questions is zero, then I implore you to make only one resolution this year --- to start earning money and profits from your online endeavor.
Without reading your ezine or visiting your website, I know that you are offering real value to
world. I also know that in order to maintain this level of value, there must be some sort of incentive to drive you forward. Without
incentive of sales and profits, there are few things that can qualify as an incentive that you can feel important with every fiber of your being!
This is
most important ingredient to your success online or offline.
You must possess a reason strong enough to propel you forward. You must feel its importance with every fiber of your being. And you must reaffirm your dedication to your goal each and every day without miss.
Thousands of people online already possess these three distinct traits which will work towards their success. Yet, many of them may be trying to reach through their monitor right now in a frivolous effort to slap me in my head. I can hear them now, "I know this. I need to find out how to make money!"
Folks, there are thousands of affiliate programs available on
web that you can participate in. The unfortunate truth is that most of these affiliate programs will never earn you more than a few dollars!
