I (sort of) have a plan for getting to $250 a day. And I’m starting to execute on that plan.
But, as always, this is the part where my neuroticism kicks in and I start inventing problems. Here’s the problems I have so far invented:
- Almost no one is reading this blog about my progress. Like two people so far. So I am fighting the urge to spend a bunch of time and energy figuring out how to get traffic here.
- I can’t find a WordPress theme I like for my primary site. Since I have WP skills, I am extremely tempted to spend the next week or two designing my own theme. Almost certainly this is a terrible idea.
- I’m not sure I like the domain name I have already for my target niche.
- I’m having general doubts about my plan, my goal, and also whether affiliate marketing is even a good idea to begin with.
- I’m reading too much.
The domain name issue is easy to solve — I can afford $8 to get a new domain name.
I’m thinking about adding a few outposts (Facebook, Twitter) for this blog, just so I feel like I did something.
I need to just bite the bullet and get started with some vaguely decent theme. I can buy or build a better one later. Get over yourself, Adam.
My doubts about all this… work through them, work through them. I have no plan for overcoming these feelings. I will just need to work through them.
I have got to stop reading about affiliate marketing. At least for, like, three weeks. I’m not going to find a piece of information that will actually be helpful until I get my site up and have something to work on.
When I started this project, I said:
Something needs to change. As far as I can tell, that something is me.
It is more and more obvious to me that this is the real challenge.
