That's a line from an old episode of The Three Stooges ( guess there all old now, as am I) in which Moe was hypnotized to say this phrase anytime he heard a certain word, (don't recall the word, but needless to say Larry and Curly said it often and thus began another hypnotic monologue by Moe.).
Recently, I finally began to use Facebook. Also, had my second SA article published. So I socialized the heck out of it on Facebook, Twitter, g+. SU, pinterest, joined TY's WSS group on Facebook and received some social love as well. I only bookmarked once in each, I didn't go on a social sending spree.
Amid reports in Live Chat of others hitting page one google in what seemed like mere minutes for some, after 3 days I was still hovering around page 6, was getting discouraged, what the heck are these guys doing that I am not, I wondered to myself.
Then I made a related post on my website, and put a link to the SA article with my main SA keyword as anchor text.
Day 5 - No. 10 on page 1 for main keyword for SA article. Blog post debuted on page 5.
I don't have all the in's and out's down pat, but I am learning how to progress. I'm reminded of the saying "Anything worth doing is worth doing right" and "All good things come to those who wait"
In other words, I'm learning that patience and persistence are key factors to any level of success.
And now anytime I see or hear of others progressing, what seems to be faster than I am, and it makes me ask myself, What do I have to do to get to where I want to go, I automatically think........
"SLOWLY I TURNED, STEP BY STEP"
And with a smile I move forward.
Among other things, success is a process.
Stay the Course, ya'll
