“The Next Big Thing” Is A Big Distraction To Me
Distraction, distraction, distraction … gosh I still can’t get my priorities straight the whole time. Fortunately, I know that this is going to happen, so I just have to remind myself to keep focusing on my planned blue print which I made ahead of time.
As an internet marketer, my passion is about making money online (MMO), even though I already make money online, I know that I can do much better than this. Currently, I’m having a project to promote Amazon Affiliate Products and I realized from the very start it’s not going to be easy converting my traffics into sales, even if it happened, the commission would be very low since I sell physical products. My plan is to create content as many as I can for straight 6 months (starting Jan 2010) and tweaking on page and off page SEO for good SERP. I also spend my time to read what’s new in internet marketing related forums, apply new tricks from other people experiences, review IM tools that could possibly make my work easier, etc. But apparently reading other people success stories distract me from doing what I had planned ahead :D, every one method is like saying “This is the next big thing”, if I could do it, so can you. They all look simpler and easier compared to what I’m doing now. Well, fortunately, I can put my mind back to focus on my own blue print, I always remind myself that all those “The Next Big Thing” internet marketers are mostly trying to sell their products, that’s how they make money online … by selling MMO methods/products. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t against internet marketers who sell MMO products, there are a lot of real gurus out there who know exactly how to make money online in various niches even long before they sell MMO products to genuinely help others.
Maybe I should just stop reading other people experiences for awhile, to avoid the unnecessary distraction from my head and keep focus to my current plan as scheduled.
“Get your priorities straight. You don’t have to make decision of what you’re gonna do, you already made decision ahead of time. Because passion and emotion, in the moment, is always gonna give you the wrong answer. So you do the map ahead of time, it’s not an issue in the moment” — Will Smith
