Boy, This Creating Posts and Posting Everyday Is So Darn Time Consuming!

Hello Wealthy Affiliates,

Whew!! I just realized today how long it takes to post one idea or a link to an article on the four social media platforms I use which are YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.

First I create an article, then I either create a video in both a YouTube and Instagram format to go along with my post, and then I create my text to go along with what I am posting. I also create a ton of photos on Canva to go along with my posts just in case my video does not match up correctly. I also have to create a featured image for each post I do!

I have to tell you, it takes me a good hour or more to do all of the above if I want to do it professionally and meaningful. And that is just for one post.

I have three websites; two affiliate sites and one site where I sell the handmade products I make. Sometimes I find it almost impossible to post on each one every day.

In fact, I often do not post on all of them every day as I just do not have the time. (I also have a window washing business).

Does this sound familiar to any of you? I bet it does. And, the reason I posted this is because no matter what, just keep going. Even if you do not post a ton, like some of the more successful members here, posting something every day is certainly better than not posting at all.

As you probably have heard again and again, 90-95% of affiliate marketers quit after the first year. I admit, I have felt like quitting but I refuse to. Because, if I can become one of the 5 –10% that hang in there, then there is great hope for me and for you too!

One more thing before I end this post. I realize it is hard to come up with ideas about what to post next. Here is something I read today in my email that I wanted to share with you written by Neil Walsch, the author of “Conversations With God”

Neil writes:

"On this day of your life

Mike, I believe God wants you to know ...

... that the man with a new idea is a crank

until the idea succeeds.

Mark Twain said that, no doubt with a twinkle in his

eye. Do you have a new idea about something? Go

ahead and share it, or put it into motion. Do not be

afraid of the doubts or disapproval of others.

Those things will be there, of course. But what of it?

Ideas are God, saying hello. Never pass one by, or

let a good one slip away. How do you know it's good?

You don't, until you try it. That's the whole point..."

I hope this little bit of inspiration helps you to stay on course and never give up.

Thank you,

Mike
