Tired of making chump change

Maj. Stress · 2007-07-28, 02:01 AM

6 months is not enough time to build up solid traffic or judge anything these days, especially this time of year when some folks experience a slowdown in sales.

Are you building and submitting a free site a day?
Do you have a hub in place to send your wayward traffic so that you can filter them?

I would also suggest not spreading yourself to thin right. Work one thing at a time and get that going well. Then work some other things like tgp, link list or whatever into your routine.

I'm really not that wonderful a guy

I help people a bit, but only if they know what they're doing in a basic way, and have some talent. We've made a few deals that are better for you than me short term. But I'm thinking longterm. If you stick it out and do well I'm sure some benefits will come my way. If you don't, well, we had a gesture that didn't cost me anything more than a bit of time.

I'm on a comeback that started almost exactly a year ago. I knew it wasn't going to be a quick comeback because times have changed, it ain't as easy as it was. I'm making more than I was a year ago, next year I'll be making more than I was 4 years ago, and the year after that I'll be making more than I was in the golden years of '98-01, after that, I'll be making more than I ever made. At least that what my goals are, and I don't think they are unrealistic given the amount of work I'm willing to do to get there.

You're working smarter now than you were when you first started, 6 months from now you'll be working smarter than you are now.
Point is, it's not a get rich quick thing anymore, and six months is fuckall.

I think you hit on a good point Stress, I might have taken on too much at once right now. I really want to devote most of my time to learning and putting out AVS sites while keeping up on doing free sites. Right now, it seems like I can’t do it all which might be what’s getting me down. I don’t think I’ve put out a new free site this week. I think I’ll work on the other projects slowly but make my top priorities my AVS and free sites. Thanks for the suggestion

SheepGuy, your too modest

I really like the way you think and to be honest, I try to model your ideals. The help your giving me with AVS is something I can take away and return to somebody else down the line. Again, thanks!

I realize that this industry is not a get rich quick type, but without a manual it’s hard to know when you’re on the right path and doing things right. I guess that one post here somewhere about getting a sale a day with free sites just stuck in my head and set false expectations. But nothing comes without hard work and finding what works best for you. Something I’m still working on.

But having a place like this to vent and ask for advice is invaluable.
