You Can't Be A Quitter

Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves (Black, 14 oz.)

After another day of throwing in the towel and deciding I will sell my computer and take up knitting, I am up and at the keyboard again. I feel like I'm in a boxing match, down and out, but I keep getting up and trying again. Hopefully this Internet Marketing learning will not leave me bruised and beaten.

After a while, I feel like I can't give up - I've spent way too much time and money to quit. I realize that something is getting into this old brain when I talk to non-Internet marketers about some of the things I'm doing. They are so impressed that it gives me the drive to want to continue. But when I get back in the ring with the pros, then I realize I am a small-town boxer who doesn't really know how to fight.

What I need is a good coach and I think I have found a couple of them. I need to put on blinders though and not get distracted by all the other coaches out there, each trying to get me to follow their style.

There may be a lot of rounds left in this old girl yet! Please comment and give me some inspiration to continue.

Until next time,

Carol

New Year, How Are You Doing?

I've got a good feeling about this year. I'm finally getting it as far as understanding affiliate marketing. People have told me before that it isn't that difficult, but I think something needs to click and it finally has. I'm still doing a lot of offline workshops for the local community centre and have also started renting my own venue to present them. I've done two so far. The first one I allowed people to pay at the door. Big mistake. They registered, but then sent me an email at the last minute saying they couldn't come. So after I paid for the location, I was in the hole. The second one I did, I finally got smart and put a Paypal registration on my website. So much easier, not to mention nice to get the Paypal notification that I had made a sale. Ended up with three times as many paying attendees and they paid $5 more each than the first group. Lest you think I made a fortune, my first workshop only had two payees, but it sounds better to say three t...

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...

Feeling Unmotivated?

This time of year can be hard for a lot of people. Too much rain, not warm enough, not enough sun. At least in my part of Canada, that's the case. So I created a quick little podcast about what we can do when we feel unmotivated. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Carol My New Podcast!
