"It had long since come to my attention

that people of accomplishment rarely

sat back and let things happen to them.

They went out and happened to things."

-Leonardo da Vinci

"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams.

Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.

Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in,

but with what it is still possible for you to do."

Pope John XXIII

"Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible." -Tony Robbins

I like this one! Your success is really determined by your action.

My first was Avon. (I still sell and use their products). I actually strongly consider Tupperware (That is what my mother did, and she did well for a while). Now I focus on LaBella Baskets, as it is more online. (You can learn more here http://clickadlinks.com/campaigns/labella_baskets/ )

"The price of success is hard work,

dedication to the job at hand,

and the determination that

whether we win or lose, we have applied the

best of ourselves to the task at hand."

-Vince Lombardi

Great ideas and I will start implementing them, Oh and really trying not to be dumb but whats the best way of creating an email signature with an optin offer, any ideas or feedback would be really appreciated.

Hey, zelleranderic.

I would just maybe sign of with your name, or describe tip, or perhaps your favorite quote, then link to your optin offer. For example I would do this:

They key is just linking to some text or an image in your signature to your optin offer. I hope this helps.

I agree, some may be doing "busy work", to avoid the Real Work. .....But some may believe they are doing work.  My question is it really "Busy Work", or they aren't sure what to do? Perhaps, they haven't figured out what their targeted activities are just yet, so they are just doing SOMETHING (aka "Busy Work") until they can figure out the work that is effective and efficient. 

Consider this, "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop." -Confucius In your quest for online success it can be very easy to quite, because nothing is happening fast enough. But the key is consistency and time! Stay consistent, keep going and eventually you will see results!

You know what Tommy, I must admit for a while felt like I was hitting my head against the wall. But... I was counting clicks, looking for immediate results. Recently I decided to just focus on sharing tips and ideas, and helping people. It is amazing once I just let go and really start enjoying it, this has become easier. I actually look forward to . I really had to think about why I even started this in the first place. So to answer your question, yes I do enjoy it!

I have 10 core sites that I surf (including my own). I have a goal of how many pages I surf at each site each day. Once I have focused on my 10 Core sites, I move on to about 10 other sites I focus on. 

I have found that I get results when I consistently use my sites.

"Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later." -Og Mandino

I love this quote. It reminds me that even if I do not see immediate results from my efforts, they are on the way. So I just keep moving forward.

Personally, I have used both free and paid traffic. I think the effectiveness of either really depends both on your ads and your audience. However I found one thing to be, consistency is important  if you really want to see results.

I have to admit, when I started marketing online, I was one of those faceless profile pictures too. It took me a while to get comfortable sharing my pic. I really think, for marketing purposes, having some type of image is helpful. (Especially of you us the same image in all your marketing). I think that is how we start to recognize each other. 

I don't think not having a profile picture has stopped me from buying a product online. However I do know that if you have a picture, and I "get to know you" it really increases the chances of me being a repeat buyer.

My New Years Resolution is to take action! I always set goals, make great plans. Where I tend to fall short is taking action. ...wait taking consistent action! So this year I have mad a plan, but  I have added action steps. The most effective change I am making is I am tracking my efforts! (yeah me)

My first introduction into MLM was Tupperware. (My mom sold it and loved it!) Personally my first was Avon. I now am with La Bella Baskets. Unfortunately I think MLM still gets a bad name, but i think it is a great way to earn extra income.

If had to answer this a few months ago it would be tough to narrow down. But now it is easy! My number one site that I promote is Surf Web Ads. I recently took ownership of this site, so I am really excited about it. My goal is to make it a site that is newbie friendly. Everyday I  make small improvements that I think will make the site an excellent resource for marketers. I have a couple of great promotions running right now.
