Fishing with the right bait.
I bring this metaphor to you so that you might understand that internet marketing is exactly the same as fishing. You can't see the fish. You don't know where it is exactly in the water. You don't even know if they are going to take the bait. Yet you keep on fishing. Why? Because "A bad day of fishing is better then a good day at work". Start looking at your business like your fishing. Keep changing your bait to find the right one that works. Use all the tools a your disposal. Be creative. Look for that deep spot where the customer is hanging out. But most of all enjoy the moment. It will never happen again.Then when you get a nibble from the first customer and then you hook the hook, line and sinker the adrenaline will rush through your and you'll dance for joy.
Sometimes I feel the fish can sense when we're get frustrated. They sit there and laugh at you knowing full well that they are not touching your bait. They are being elusive and your not going to give up until you get what you want. Success.

I agree with you rush. All the baits (tools) are here for us to succeed but we must be resilient, focused and implement what we have learnt
Arghhhhh!
Great post!
This business IS just like fishing for sure...
On a darker note...
It is like bear hunting too...
Sometimes you get the bear,
and sometimes the bear gets you!
Today I was "getted" by the bear!
Looking at my pile of work!
Arghhh!
Again...
Cheers!!
Loes did you notice my fish. I can't get them to swim. Did they swim for you. Help my fish are dying.
:) Sometimes I have to upload them several times, be sure you select the whole area, and set them full size, sometimes it just won't work, I try another one
That is a good metaphor. I live on a lake and don't have the patience for fishing, but I do eat a lot of fish. I get them from others that catch them. I suppose that is the essence of affiliate marketing.
I love the fishing analogy. I too went fishing and was bitten by piranhas, almost went bankrupt. Glad I found a better pound here at Wealthy Affiliate. Going fishing now, thanks for sharing.
