Today is the last of the 10 Common Misconceptions, Myths, and Facts About Affiliate Marketing. Today's topic is a FACT.
Consistency Is Key
The secret to getting results is to take action, every day! And take action the next day, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next...
It is not easy to go to work every single day. I know because I reached burnout after about 1.5 years. Every day
- I posted on the Hive
- I surfed traffic exchanges to find Luke
- I made a video about finding Luke
- I read emails to get credits
- I commented on posts
I did this day in and day out. Eventually, I missed a day, then I missed 2, and finally, I just quit. I couldn't take the monotony of doing the same thing every day. I did not want to even turn my computer on.
After about 6 months of not doing anything related to internet marketing, I realize I could give up as a failure and there were things I could do to get time off. With an internet business, there are things you can do to give yourself time off and relieve the monotony.
Posts and emails can be created ahead of time and scheduled. If you write multiple posts at once, you can schedule them over the next few days.
Don't do things in the same order every day. Mix it up to add variation. You may want to make yourself a checklist so you don't forget anything.
Make sure you take short breaks every 1-2 hours. Get up, walk around, get a breath of fresh air. Take a longer break mid-day. This is a great time to do your day's learning. Read a chapter in a book, watch a YouTube video, do whatever you are doing to learn something new. Break up the game.
Consistency is the key but it can't be boring or monotonous. Developing relationships, getting your subscribers to KNOW, LIKE and TRUST you, keeping your name/brand in front of people, all need to be done but don't let it get to the point that it overwhelms you like I did.
