Quick Tip for Frustrated Newbies


You’ve had your blog for a few months now.  You’ve chosen a topic you love and have great information.  But you have very little traffic and no sales.
So what’s wrong?
Often times it’s nothing but your impatience and lack of consistency.
A few months is hardly enough time to give a new business.  So if you went into this with unrealistic expectations, you will be disappointed.
I get an amazing number of emails from people who claim “affiliate marketing doesn’t work.”  And when I ask them how long they’ve been at it, the answer is often two months or less.
Are you kidding me?
It took me months before any worthwhile money started to roll in. And even when my income didn’t equate to the hours I was spending online, I never stopped writing and strategizing.
If you haven’t generated a steady stream of traffic yet, one thing you have to work on is building momentum with consistency.
If you’re a new blogger, you need to establish a rhythm.  Posting once a month is probably not going to cut it.  This is a business so you must commit to it and take it seriously.
There are so many blogs and websites out there with great potential, but they’ve been abandoned by impatient owners looking for too much too soon.
I know it’s frustrating when you feel no one is reading your content.  But if you have a solid concept and believe in your site, you will be amazed at what will happen if you just stick with it and produce solid content on a consistent basis.
Set goals for content and video production. Make your presence known. It’s time for you to get serious. Let’s make 2011 a great one!
