Affiliate Marketing is Hard, Blogging is Hard

I have been at this for 6 years now, more off and on, I never left WA, never abandoned my sites enough to let the domain expire, too much work has gone there to let that happen, just get tired along the way then take a break then get back to work when I feel ready. But for the whole of last year and this year, I just don`t seem to get out of the deep.

As my title says blogging is hard, when you think you have it going, something comes up and messes everything. I`ve had all the ups and downs in my journey but never totally gave up, but recently I just feel too tired of it.

I installed a plugin that seriously messed my sites, to make matters worse, it took me months to realize the plugin was the problem as I ignorantly installed two different plugins at the same time. Even after removing the plugins, the damage remains(remember I was working on the site, updating and all that)

The damage this time has left me physically weak, every time I think of even starting to straighten things out,I get physically tired.

Working offline, going online has been kind of a luxury for over a year now, and to go online so as to mess up with codes and HTML and whatever,...................the thought of it is scary. It`s almost 1 am as I write this and still have to go to my offline job the next day, not be back home before 8 pm, do I want to mess up with CSS when I finally go online? surely not.

So now I`m back to where I`ve been so many times before, press the pause button.

Do you ever feel like you need to recharge to go on with your online business? or have you been going on as strongly as you did the first time you started?

I`d really like to hear your experiences
