Keep Working

Many of the questions asked in live chat relate to how long it takes to begin earning a full time income through affiliate marketing. Of course there is no way to answer that question because there are so many variables that affect the outcome of our work. Rather than give any vague time frame, I try to encourage the questioner to learn as much as possible and to develop a routine for using what is learned. I also encourage people to keep going... to persevere not matter what it takes. Thinking about how long it takes to feel completely comfortable at a new job can put things into perspective. How long are people on the job when they stopped learning new things?

I am writing this post both to brag a bit (as you will see) and to encourage WAers to establish a work routine to build their business and to perseverr until they achieve their goals. Recently, my brother-in-law and I decided to rebuild a '78 280Z that my wife bought almost 40 years ago. We both have some mechanical apptitude so we committed ourselves to seeing the project through no matter what.

This picture represents a month of extensive body work which we had not anticipated.

Here's the car redone inside and out. It took hundreds of hours of work. Early on, as we tore the car down, we developed a work routine. Over the weeks, we persevered.

My bragging not withstanding, whether we are aiming to be on page one of google or to earn $5000 monthly with our websites or rebuild a car, we need to be consistent and organized with our work. Its pretty easy to persevere when rebuilding a car because each day some kind of tangible result is seen. This is not always true as we work on our websites. We need to develop a work routine and keep on fishin'!
