Marketing in Fits and Starts
Are you a person who wants to make money online and find yourself lacking focus?
Do you take a run at getting started and then let it fade into the background when you don’t see immediate results?
Have you acquired so much information and knowledge about how to make money online that you have no idea where to start?
You know you should just pick something and work on it to the exclusion of all else but fear not choosing the right ‘thing’?
In varying degrees, all of the above is and has been me. There, it’s out there, true confession time. So what am I going to do about it? First , I’m going to recognize that any time I’ve let any of the above hold me back in the past, it’s a failure. A failure doesn’t mean to stop, it means to learn and move forward. Time I moved forward — again.
It is my intention to focus on establishing and growing an online business. The core of that business will be three blogs. This is the first. This blog, going forward will provide me space to share what I’m doing and how that is working out for me. I will also be sharing what I learn about building an online business, the methods I’ve tried and how that worked, the theories I’m learning.
I encourage anyone trying to get going, or even those who are starting to gain traction, to take part here.
First Challenge
The first challenge I’m going to tackle will be establishing a list for this site. That’s the first challenge but not the first step. I’ll talk about that first step in another post.
I know the conventional wisdom is to use either GetResponse or AWeber autoresponders to setup a list opt in. Well, I haven’t made any income yet and I don’t have the money to spend. So, I’ll be setting up my list in MailChimp, a free option that once I get rolling I can either move to a paid option and continue using or move to one of the other two options.
So, I need to get cozy with their documentation, which they have plenty by the way. What I’m about to learn, is their plenty of documentation written well enough that I’ll know what to do? I’ll share what I learn.
So, what about you? Are you frozen in fear of failure or moving forward?
