My first 60 days

The last 60+ days that I've been on WA have been hugely informative for me. I'd like to go over a few of my most important.

• Practice discipline

There's no one to push you to do what you need to, except you. It's important to be your own strongest critic when it comes to certain things, and time management is one of them
.

• Write, write, write

Content is king. Unique, engaging content is what allows an internet marketer to make a living. The more we write, the more content is out there to get us paid. And, with every word we write, the next gets easier. That's because it's all practice! Isn't it great when our practice can get us paid?

• Never stop learning

The internet marketing landscape changes all the time. Sometimes slight, sometimes major, but there's always something to be thought about, discussed, worked out, strategized on, etc. Thankfully, WA offers us a first class community to do all of that.

• Save your drafts often

I can't stress this one enough. There's nothing more frustrating than losing your last hour of work because your computer crashed or you mis-clicked or whatever other catastrophe happened. Save, save, save. If you can't remember the last time you saved, you've waited too long to save. (The words of a man who's lost tons of work because of not saving....)

• Take action

This is important for two reasons. 1.) By both reading information and doing a task our brains are forced to process the information in two ways. This allows us to learn the information quicker and more concretely. 2.) It gives your website a solid foundation to work from, and many of us know that the first step towards our goal is often the hardest.

I've put together a couple websites at this point and am proud to have made it this far. My first niche marketing site, streamyourmedia.org is all about how to take full advantage of digital content providers like Hulu, Netflix and Spotify. My other site, eightyp.com is more for personal fulfillment than anything else. It has a personal blog and links to streamyourmedia but not much else right now.

Any comments about my sites are welcome. I'd certainly love any constructive criticism, as I am INTENT on making a career out of internet marketing.
