One of
more common posts you'll find in Internet marketing forums is an expression of frustration in that marketing efforts are not producing any results.I was there once and I completely empathize! But I persevered and, while I'm not a millionaire, having an online business does have its rewards.
Frustration doesn't have to dictate upon you and declare it's end of road. Look at it as a call for a hiatus or a break from your work. It's that time in your labors when you merely have to take a breather and give renewed thought to your business.
Here are a few helpful brain food:
1. What is your motivation? Is it merely to earn money? Ultimately that's every marketer's goal. However, there are many ways to meet that goal. You can take small steps or various turns. Perhaps you can first build a web site that shares what you already know and then go on from there.
My first site on a free web host was a inspirational site. It was put up not to make money but to inspire. Eventually, it brought in some earnings from affiliate links placed here and there. But my motivation was to inspire. Earning money was bonus.
2. Reset your goals. Don't as yet go for big ones. Accomplish small ones first by doing small tasks each day. When you get hang of accomplishing small tasks, you'll naturally progress to achieving larger goals. Try earning first small amounts then graduate to bigger ones.
3. Assess your strengths. Some years back when frustration was about to compel me to throw my computer into trash can, I wrote an article to myself (my outlet when frustrated, depressed or such is writing) and entitled it, "The Essence of Success."
