Beginner Affiliate Thoughts: Learning To Plan

Lately I have been feeling a little lost in the sauce. I built my site, It looks nice .. well I think so anyway … and I have a lot of content. Wealthy Affiliate makes it easy to generate and post the content and there is a lot of training to cover the different angles that I can take. I have even had two or three organic visits!!

But … I still had this feeling of ‘what should I do?’

I would sit down any time I was not working my career job (or my second job), or wrangling the dogs, or being with the family … I have a lot going on. Anyway, I would sit down to work on my site and just look at the screen. Should I do some training, should I work on something else .. eventually I would just settle on what I ‘needed’ to do and make content, then post it. I was literally just going through the motions - and breaking one of the rules of affiliate marking that I learned here at WA (more on that in a later post).

it might be my inner Capricorn, or the fact that I work with computers, but I do not work well with loose requirements and lack of a goal to move towards and after some thought I suspected that this might be my overall problem.

I needed a plan.

Nothing too strict, I just needed some kind of structure that I could use to guide myself in a direction. Specifically, I needed something that would allow me to tell me what to work on and when. So my structure needed to serve two purposes

A: Let me know what I am doing

B: Let me know when to do it

So, Ive decided that I need a plan, so whats next? Thats right, I need to plan the plan! In the spirit of keeping things brief, I’ll save that for the next episode.
