Keep On Track
The first thing I do want to stress is that there is "tons" of information that is new to you. Even if think you got an idea on how everything works like I did, you are totally wrong if you have never done this sort of thing. The one thing that I was struggling with was trying to consume too much information at one time and not really putting anything to "action". Thanks to some great people here at Wealthy Affiliate, they pointed me into the right direction because that was a problem I was having.
The second thing that I seen myself doing was getting distracted by too many other different internet marketing schemes. It was not the fact that I was interested in them because I know I have all the information I need here at Wealthy Affiliate, it was just to see what kind of things other people are out there doing with Internet Marketing. When you see tag lines such as "New Click Bank Algorithm To Make Instant Cash" you are kind of curious to see what kind of scam they are pitching. Its just crazy to see how many immoral and unethical people are out there just scamming people out of there money. But once again I was getting caught up reading and not "writing" and not putting anything in "action".
To get to my point of all this rambling I needed to share with someone is that you got to "STICK TO THE PLAN". If not, you are never going to keep on track and find yourself way behind. I can also see this happening to people and see why they might give up to easily. There will always be thousands of distractions but if you got a plan and you have your goals, you should SUCCEED!

Failure to plan is planning to fail. We need to plan even our learning process. Better to fail for doing something than to fail for not doing anything. Cheers!!!
So true. You know what the problem with sticking to the plan is, though? You gotta get over that learning curve first. I mean you gotta "learn" the biz before you can make any realistic plans let alone stick to them. That's why us newbies get sidetracked so easily. 'Cuz everything we see is something new so EVERYTHING seems relevant. The only way that I've come to the point of realising that I "know" something is by doing. There's no substitution for experience. The funny thing is, the more I learn, the more I realise I don't know. Just my two cents ;)
I agree 100%. A plan is never perfect. It has to be revised as we learn new things that impact the plan. As we all know, only change is constant. Thanks for sharing. Blessings!!!
Yea, It will probably happen more than once, it just happens. But make sure you got the first ten days down and then start 30 day success. just follow the steps and block everything else out. You will be on your way.
I am also suffering from "information overload" and it is hard to know where to begin with all the knowledge available. I think I could get focused with the 30 day success plan, but I'm not a member yet and can't even pay the membership fee until September. I have 4 days left of my free trial and I still feel like I'm "bouncing" around without getting much accomplished. But I do know this is the place to be.
Yea this is definitely the place to be. If I were you, I would take advantage of the keyword search right now. You should have some sort of niche right now and I would find all the keywords I could and write them down so in your off time before you can afford the membership start doing research and submitting to street articles so when you do come back you are already that far ahead.
I completely agree with you! Information overload! I think the hardest thing about WA is having to pace yourself :P
Stick with the 30 day success plan. After that, probably go through most of it again, then look at your options. At least then you'll have some knowledge behind you and you'll have something decent, instead of just looking at "shiny objects" like many people do.
I myself will be doing the 30 days success plan again, and stick too it this time!
Good luck, and welcome to WA!
