The "next shiny thing" syndrome

I have been guilty of being a part of the "next shiny thing" syndrome. I have spent money and time on systems to generate leads that really did not work or did not work for me. Right now with all the different affiliate programs on the internet it seems to me that there are more promotional systems than affiliate systems.

Its easy to get caught up in all of this when you first start. "Get paid $20 all day for just $, copy our system and get $100s daily, get $200 just for processing emails". But you need to let all of it go for the most part. Focus on one thing at a time. See if there is a good group that you can join on social media or create your own. I keep saying reach out to others. I have and its helped me a lot with my overall focus.

I have now cut my losses. I will start making videos soon for the other affiliate program I am involved with as well as WA and the blog I created here. Soon I will also create a blog dedicated to my other affiliate program just as a friend has done (its a Wordpress blog too).

So now all I have to do is keep my focus and not get distracted. I know I can do this and make this work. So can you.

To your success,

Mike

I use the shinny get rich quick systems to my advantage by joining getting inside info then create a post on my Wealthy Affiliate promo website. Then I ask for my money back before then 60 days is up.

Yes, people tend to grab the shiny looking stuff, but it's always better to get the good things and polish them yourself so much, they will surely be shinier when you're done with them!
