I was going to post a post on focus and perhaps I will but now onto something else. So, today, on this blog, I am going to discuss one more of the psychological problems of mine.

I have made a small short-term goal recently. Become an affiliate. Soon enough, I am going to spend some PPC budget to figure out how affiliate stuff works. That means, for the time I won’t be focusing on anything but affiliate advertising, focusing on search traffic mainly. Then, as I’ll have a clear idea that it is possible to be a successful affiliate, my idea is to take it to the next level - become a publisher. Affiliate knowledge should provide me with sufficient ground for understanding how selling works. And once you know selling, you don’t have to work anymore. That’s theory.

Something like this was not an easy choice to make because I had this belief that “I have to do everything from scratch or else it doesn’t count”. So, it doesn’t  count if I spend money to earn money. I would have to earn those first money and only spend those, without investing.  You could call it “no cheating” or “no head-start allowed”. This belief I used to maintain in a lot of areas and I still do in some. Perhaps it has some logic in it because, indeed, by doing everything over and over again I may learn a bit more or still I lessen the risks. But, I lose time. And time is the thing. Also, I realized that by choosing to do everything without prior investing, I’m kinda doing it the hard way. In conclusion, I need to get over that crap idea and move on. This seems to be the right way.
