1. Stop chasing the next learning opportunity
There is always something more to learn. There is always someone who is offering you a product to teach you the next "proven" way to make money online.
The problem is that everything you read, and everything you buy never seems to quite give you the information you need. Maybe it does, but it just seems to do hard.
It is easy to get seduced by the next e-book as "the answer". Surely there is an easy way to learn affiliate marketing. You just need to find it.
At some point the learning needs to stop and you must begin.
Stop learning and start doing.
2. Stop assuming that you do not need to know anything technical
Making money on-line means that you use the internet to advertise or offer products or services.
Affiliate marketing requires you understand creating web sites and to be knowledgeable with things like HTML, URL, SEO, etc.
There is a lot to learn about creating web site, but you not need to be an expert in everything technical. You only need to know how to do it.
Stop denying and start building websites.
3. Stop going in circles
There is a lot of pieces to internet marketing. Learning affiliate marketing is only one of them. Building websites is another. And there is still more.
But at some point, enough becomes enough and you start to put your knowledge into action. You need to start somewhere and action is necessary. Action without a plan is random motion. You think you are moving forward when in fact you are going in circles.
You need a goal and a plan. A goal is where you want to be. A plan is the action steps to require to move toward your goals.
Stop dreaming and start planning.
4. Stop planning
Affiliate marketing is a business. A business requires a plan. Planning is not an end in itself. It is the beginning.
In order to be successful with affiliate marketing you need to work a plan.
That is, make daily goals and execute them. Successful internet marketers work a plan. Daily.
Stop planning and start doing.
5. Stop surfing
It is easy to get seduced believing sitting in front of the computer is actually working. Surfing the web, viewing statistics, visiting forums, responding to e-mail, FaceBook and instant messaging are not actually doing anything for you.
You cannot make money online sitting at your computer. You need to produce product for the web.
Stop pretending and start taking action.
6. Stop going it alone
It is hard to do things on your own. It can be lonely. It is nice to have colleagues who are doing the same thing as you. To find out about, and visit some good on-line communities.
Stop feeling alone and start getting help.
