Picture The Scene
It's a hot summer's day last year. There you are at the latest Internet Marketing seminar. You're thinking "This is it, I've messed around too long with this thing ".
" I've bought my site, read some forum posts, even found some free ebooks on how to monetize my site in the quickest time possible. I read the ebooks. Seemed like good stuff. But I'm still not making money ".
" That's why I'm here. I'm determined. I've spent a grand on this seminar and all the top gurus are there, this'll take me over the top to Internet stardom! ".
So, you sit there at the seminar, wide eyed, taking notes so fast you can barely read your own writing. One speaker after another tells you to focus on generating targeted traffic to your web site.
It's the mantra of the weekend.
Targeted Web Traffic
" These gurus really know their stuff ", you say to yourself, " When I get home, I'm openin' a whole new can o' kickbutt!"
You've learned so much, your confidence exploding. You get home late after the seminar. Just got to get some rest.
Next morning, you wake up, still inspired but confusion replaces the confidence of yesterday.
" What was it they said? Yeah, that's it. Targeted web traffic ".
" Now, how d'you do that again? What do you do first? Squeeze page was it? Can't remember...oh, no, if I do it wrong, I'll never have another chance".
Paralysis sets in. Tail between legs, the lukewarm can o' kickbutt goes gingerly back in the fridge.
One Year Later
Your buddies call out " Hey, Got that targeted traffic yet, Dude? ".
That sinking feeling comes again. The same feeling you had last year when, again, you didn't DO what you learned.
You can learn all you want but ultimately, unless you DO SOMETHING with it, you won't move on. Even if you fail, you can always get up and try another strategy. Don't let the paralysis get you.
To Get You Started
Write some articles on your computer. Don't try to be good, just write them.
Next, submit them to article directories and include your web site link at the bottom.
Now, while you wait for those articles to send targeted traffic to your web site, write some more.
DO IT NOW, so your buddies can no longer say " I Know What You Didn't Do Last Summer! ".
