Hi Stacy-Ann. (I like that name. It's very pretty, if I may say so.)

You're the fourth person now inside of a week to write that you feel this way. Recently, I've begun to insist that we all stop talking about "making it" and start concentrating on "having fun" instead.

1. have a niche you find fun and love working on.

2. work on it because you love it and want it to be the best it can (not because of a desire to make moola)

3. since you're not working for someone else or to a strict timetable imposed by another person, take it easy and do what you can. Small steps, tiny steps, baby steps, **ENJOYING YOURSELF** all the way

4. Test and Measure. Set your goals in written form somewhere as a set of small tasks. How long is it taking you to get from one task to the other?
>> this is an INCREDIBLY important step. It is what took me away from television and YouTube, to sitting in front of my computer and knocking out work at a good rate.

5. From testing and measuring, what is slowing you down, what's getting in your way, what works for you? What makes you happy?

6. Stop doing what makes you unhappy, start doing what makes you happy.
>> I was surprised to learn, watching myself and through testing and measuring, that watching TV and YouTube videos didn't make me happy, because I afterwards always felt that I had wasted my time. I was equally surprised to learn that I felt most happy in polishing my blog content, planning my next article and doing the research to get it going.

7. If you think about it, you will probably agree that no one needs drive or motivation to do what they love. For instance, how much drive or motivation do you need to stuff your face with another bacon butter sandwich? In my case—NONE! 😉😊 If you are struggling with your niche, allow me to suggest that you're in the wrong one.
>> A niche should be something you love doing. Start with that, then look for the affiliate programs using the WA tool.

Well, those are my two cents. I hope that there's something in there you can work with and that you find useful.

I wish you loads of fun and a home filled to the brim with happiness. Amen.

Regards,

Welcome to the club, Stacy-ann, online marketing can be a challenge, and that can be at each stage and phase so you are not alone, it will just be that as you move along the issues can become more complex, you have made rapid progress through the training sometimes revisiting and looking at the phases that are causing you issues can be a big help.

The journey, in the beginning, can be overwhelming, creating content and doing each task can be the best way to overcome those beginner wobbles.

Best wishes.

You will do fine and when you do get stuck just reach out.

Hi Stacy
The times I have felt lost are the times when I haven’t had a clear idea about what to do next.
The thing that has really helped me recently has been having a to-do list.
It’s just a big pad of notepaper and as I have gone through the training and read other people’s blogs and other members training videos too I write down anything I think I need to do to advance my business.
When I finish a task I score it off. This gives me a sense of having achieved something and gives me momentum to keep moving on to the next task. This way I keep feeling that I’m moving forward.
Hope this helps and I hope you feel more positive soon.
Good luck 😉

I know how you feel. I have been reworking my entire blog and Some days I don't even want to turn the computer on . I usually sit down with an exercise book and pen and start writing about how I feel. This can then morf into a post or even another topic completely that becomes a post.

Hi Stacy-ann

As mentioned you may need some downtime and to take a step back and look at what you have accomplished.

At first it can become overwhelming and you are not alone in that. I felt the same when I started. I wanted to be further along that I actually was. But this is my personality.

Take one step at a time and you may need to go over parts of the training again, because this time round you will get something new from it.

I have gone over parts of the training so many times now that I have lost count.

Remember that you are building something awesome here and that is going to take time. Before you know it you will be teaching others.

You will get there in your time.

If you need someone to talk to, you can always PM me to brainstorm or just to get things off your chest. It may help.

Take care and here's to making it happen

Have a great day

Jennifer

Hi, I'm in month two of the SAC challenge and I'm right there with you. Every keyword I search has a high QSR. I know there are tons of things to write about, just haven't found it yet.

I would take a day or two off and re-focus. Whatever you do, don't give up. This stuff takes time. You can do it!

Cal

Hi Stacy-Ann! You sound normal! :) Yep. That's what can happen when we first get here. We jump into the training and we can get overwhelmed with it. Then we might also feel like there's a lot to do and so many things to write about, but the good news is that this helpful community and the training gets us to where we want to go. This is a business, so we have to try things, and re-evaluate. If one thing isn't a good fit, then we might need to shift a bit to find what is right for us. Sometimes that might mean changing niches.

So... take a deep breath, go for a walk, and then come back and look at everything with a refreshed mind. Break it down into bite-sized pieces that are do-able for you and your schedule. Send me a PM if I can be of help. :)

I believe you can do this!
Colleen
