A bucket of tools

If I were to give you the four buckets of tools I keep stored in my toolbox on my old 2003 Silverado, you probably wouldn’t have a clue what to do with most of them. Maybe the hammer wouldn’t cause too much difficulty or the long handle screwdriver. But a few of the more esoteric items such as a vinyl siding tool or the closet bolt saw could give you pause.

These tools are from a trade I learned many years ago. But all the use memory comes rushing back each time I reach in and find exactly what I need. Yes

This is much like the process we go through in the affiliate marketing space. We are exposed to tools we never used let alone heard about before. And until we reach into our tool bucket a couple hundred times we feel uncomfortable and I’ll at ease.

But over time we begin to learn the purpose and function of each part of the process. And one day voila we know what to do with that box end wrench, coping saw and mitre box. It takes time but the more you work at it and get used to the tools the better you get.

The day will come when it will seems perfectly natural to be talking SEO, GSE, anchor text, and block editor. Those tools will jump out of the bucket like magic. You won't have to think about it. You will know you have learned the skill to do the job.

Using the new tools will become second nature and at some point you will look back and realize how much you know and how much youhave learned.
