Distracted From Making Money

- Read a great post about Wordpress Templates and saw a recommendation for ElegantThemes. Investigated, yes, they are great and way better than the free theme I have been using. A good investment, but then came the big investment in time while I changed themes.
- Google+, Great video from Jay last week on using Google+ for local marketing. Jumped in and have built up a good following of local businesses. I found many, many local businesses are not Google+ verified. Makes a great list to target and offer my help. If only the Google+ reporting tools were better - so more time spent looking into Google+ reports....
- Another post mentioned using Yoast SEO tools rather than All in One. So tempting, had to be investigated! Actually, I do now think Yoast gets the thumbs up, some of the Google search descriptions really did need some work. Yoast has a neat bulk editor which did make life easier, but did consume more time.
- An email from Market Samurai grabbed my attention - thats what they are meant to do! Another post on WA recommended it so was tempted to explore a trial. Its a massive product. Just looking into one set of keywords and using the 'Find Content' button one of my own sites appeared in first place! Now I was using a completely unconnected email address - How did they do that! It does not rank in Google yet. More time consumed..
- The domestic chores needed sorting - Check energy bills, we need to transfer to cheaper supplier, Pet insurance needs renewing etc. etc.
- Oh, and time to update my WA Blog.
As you can see, at no point did I create any content, that is the real mantra here. So today is Day of Content Creation. Just by writing it down and publishing this statement will force me into it!

My advice is, stick to the WA Courses. Avoid distracting plugins, utilities and recommendations. Follow to the letter and when in doubt redo a class. Create content, create content. Lessons learnt.
Would love to hear your distractions from making money! I am sure I am not alone.
All the best for Easter,
David
