Stuck in a quicksand whirlpool, HELP!

This is my second blog post on WA, and I need some help from this community.

I want to make changes in my life, I've always been scared to try new things, to put myself at risk, because I know it will only end in heartache, as it has so many times in the past.

I've tried and failed at several other online money-making opportunities, and I know I'm the problem. How do I fix me??

I want to succeed in this business, but I don't know where to start. I'm on lesson #4 of Course 1 in the "Getting started" area, and I don't understand anything I'm seeing.

I don't consider myself to be an idiot, I worked in IT at a hospital some years ago, mostly answering phones, printing reports, etc... I thought I would retire there, then they ran into money troubles and were purchased by a bigger group, and I was downsized. I'm sure it's a story that's familiar to many of you.

Ever since, my life has been mostly a mess. I make enough to get by at my current job, but that's all it is, a scrounger's existence.

I've always had a problem with poor self-image, I look at my profile picture, and all I see is an idiot that's in way over his head. The idea of putting myself in a video promoting a niche scares me to death.

I can't think of a niche idea, either. Nothing's coming to me. I enjoy working at my computer, and I play computer games, mostly World of Warcraft. I enjoy books and I'm an avid reader, mostly thrillers and suspense.

Maybe I'm just looking for some positive affirmation, or a kick in the pants. I suppose either would do. Here's hoping you all have success, I'm still looking...

Hi Supersaint,
Many of us are in similar situations. We don't have the time or the inspiration to get this thing going. I will tell you one thing about your blogs. They are from the heart and they are good to read. Maybe you should be a blogger. Just speak from within and you'll be alright. At least you are honest about your views. Great question that just lead me to your profile again about the competition. How many of us can really compete with so many web sites out there?

I know exactly how you feel. But I've made the decision not to fail anymore. There is lots I fear and don't want to do. But I'm just going to do it even if it is an embarrassing mess. I'm very close to 50 and when I get there I want to feel proud of myself instead of the failure I feel I am now. WE CAN DO IT :-) your not alone

Hey super saint Scott, Thanx for following me.

Hang in there Scott. You got this far.

A bookstore specifically about suspense and thrillers might be a good start. Grab your microphone speak about every single thriller and suspense book you've ever read and pretend we're there on the couch listening intently, hanging on to every word. Making us want to go out and get a copy ourselves.

Save the recordings so they can be transcribed and used at a later date. Unless of course you're already doing this.... Cool if you are. That's stuff for a website already to go.

Take care.

Hi Supersaint. To be honest, my English isn't that good as I was staying in Japan for so long and totally didn't use English in Japan. I am here to share my method. If you don't very understand the meaning of the content, try the video walk through. Follow step by step slowly. This may help I think.

Hi Supersaint. If all of this is completely new to you then I would use the skimming approach. It's a bit like a jigsaw puzzle- looking at just one piece at a time can be confusing. Just move through the training lessons at a steady rate and don't worry about understanding them at first. When you get to see more of the pieces then the puzzle will start to make sense. Then you can go back and learn in greater depth.

Hi, why dun you try and start a niche a website about games expecially pertaining to World of Warcraft? I have seen YouTube about successful marketer marketing books on the game they are playing via Amazon. If they dun buy what you recommend but still buy something else through your link, you still get something.

Also on the same note, how about a website reviewing the books that you have read on thrillers and suspense? You can still link them to Amazon and some other websites.

Actually i can already read what you are interested in. Why dun you start with your forte first? Good luck to you!

Don't be too hard on yourself, you have just started and you will get used to it. Ask questions on top the bar and there are many WA members who are super helpful, or try the chat room here. ;)

Mate just keep moving forward, it's confusing at the start but you will get it mate. This will motivate you i am a bricklayer that had no idea but now with WA learning new idea's. Mate you are doing well, never forget why you started and stay focused. Now have a great day and have fun cobber
