DON'T Check Analytics or Amazon for ONE MONTH!

EDIT: I have failed! I checked them...

So, I find myself blogging away, creating massive content that features tons of affiliate links, I plug away at my site for months, with tens of articles, traffic grows slowly, some sales trickle in - but I find myself obsessively checking Google Analytics and Amazon Associates every.day.before.I.start.actually.working.

DON'T FALL INTO THIS TRAP!

It Takes Time to Get Going.

When you're running and IM (internet marketing) site such as the ones we build through WA, you're going to have to slave your arse off for months, probably years to see any results.

Personally, when I jump into Google analytics and I see my traffic has stagnated, or even worse - dropped, I feel a sense of depression and "what can I do differently" - and this is completely wrong.

I find myself falling into the trap of writing content with the sole purpose of getting and converting visitors, instead of focusing on the most important thing - growing my website and ramping up the traffic to it.

Checking Amazon/Google Analytics is Discouraging.

When you're constantly checking these two accounts everyday and you're looking at the same result, perhaps you'll do what I did and end up getting more discouraged to write than motivated.

This can be a bad trap to fall into:

1. You're checking your traffic, seeing it's not growing and you get discouraged from writing
2. Your lack of writing as much as you could is literally responsible for the traffic stagnation!

Rinse and repeat. It's a catch-22, and I don't want anyone else to fall into this trap.

I Have Made a Vow to Myself...

...not to Check Amazon/Analytics Until Thursday, March 22, 2018 - 30 Whole Days.

I want to let analytics and amazon do what they do for 30 whole days, and I want to focus on delivering the content that will ultimately make those two things show growth.

Constantly obsessing over Amazon and Analytics and not seeing improvement daily is not only senseless, but it'll leave you with feelings of desperation and discouragement which is the last thing we all need when we're trying to grow a business.

I invite you to join me on this journey of not checking these two things for 30 days - and let me know in the comments how it's going!

I'll try to update this thread every day to be held accountable for actually sticking to my guns and not checking it.
