Only articles for promotion?

Even if I have been working hard to get my affiliate stuff back on track these last few days, I haven't got any new sales yet. But that got me wondering, why am I concentrating that much on articles when I can do so many other marketing techniques for free?

So, as from today I will also add reviews on my own blogs, I think having my own sites is extremely important too if I want to have long term traffic, articles on ezine seem to stay on top only for a few days unless you have a completely unique article on whatever subject. But I usually just rewrite articles... means my articles will rarely or never stay on top for long.

I need to think more out of the box!

The positive attitude is important

I wonder where my inspiration and motivation went since January, what made me so lazy? I have looked at affiliate marketing in a whole new approach. See, I have a day job that I really enjoy, I would work no matter what, still I don't get my money daily it's only at the end of the month, still I continue to give the maximum daily. The question is, why can't I do it for myself? I must not have been looking for instant reward, that's not possible. I like how I planned my work this time and focusing differently.

I have been experiencing a few new things too that I am sure can help you if you are just starting out with affiliate marketing. Planning ahead is extremely important. I was lost, completely lost if I happen to open my clickbank folder after a whole week. I just do not know where to start and what to work on. I still need to classify my folders better but being organized can help you get a lot more work done in little time.

Finally I have passed the 100 articles mark

This is something I should have done weeks ago. Seriously, by now I must have already written at least 300 articles... *sigh* Anyway, my motivation is back and I am really keen to tart making sales again on clickbank. I have written 5 articles yesterday and five today so I have 10 articles waiting to be approved at ezinearticles. I will write a few more articles today, I want to see what's the maximum I can write in a day. I read somewhere that a guy wrote over 30 articles/day. Well he must be a very good writer. Nonetheless I thought, if he has done it why can't I do even half of it. I will no longer put any limit on myself, eg say that I will write only 3-4 articles/day etc. I will work the max I can.

A quick update

I am updating this blog again after 3 months, I really have no excuse. I must admit that I have been very lazy and blaming everything on lack of time. Sad thing is that I have not made any sales either... My motivation was gone.

I've been thinking a lot about whether I should really continue into affiliate marketing. Both my heart and mind said yes. It's just that I need a better planning. Also at times I reach to a point where I don't know what to do next and thus do nothing.

I guess I've wasted enough time. I will get back to get the job done as from today, I also need to catch up on my goals too. Talking about this, I think I should have given myself any monetary goals. Just for the work done. See, I don't know if with 3k articles I would reach $50k. I will just focus on the articles goal for now.

Also I've received my 6th cheque some days ago, only a measly $75.63 (yeah I lowered the threshold just to get this cheque). My balance at clickbank is back to zero. So, it is as if I am starting everything again.
