Well it’s now the second day of the new year and I’m really stoked about what I’m working on for January.  Oddly enough it’s not really got a lot to do with affiliate marketing.  It’s got a lot to do with creating products that I can sell myself and keep 100% of the profit.

The affiliate marketing side of things is pretty low on the priority scale - because as of right now I don’t have a lot of control over how I’m getting people to the site and purchasing.  It’s got to do with a budget - or lack of a marketing budget.  I just don’t have enough capital to put into a marketing campaign - which would be so awesome and I’ve got ideas on how to kick start it, after 2 failed attempts.  “Failed” probably isn’t the right word to use here.   On one hand I didn’t make any money from my PPC campaigns BUT I did learn what I should try next time that I think will make me a few dollars and even the score.  It’s all about that learning curve and sometimes those failures are just what you need to do better next time.

The $1000 goal for January is a pretty lofty one, but I think setting such a big goal makes me more determined.   Honestly after breaking it all down - I can do it.  It’s just going to take a bit of work.  I also think a dash or two of luck wouldn’t go a miss either.  But after breaking the $1000 goal down into manageable chunks makes it realistic.  Why I didn’t do this before I’ll never know.  Now it seems so easy… you know.  If I don’t make my goal - I’m not going to be heartbroken.  I might be a little sad, but in a way that too is very motivating.  Crazy?  I think I might be, but how am I going to be more successful - I really need a plan.  I have a plan and a big goal.  It’s kind of exciting and a bit of a game to see how far I get.  If I don’t reach it - I’ll be able to fine-tune February’s goals to see where I can make more money.

So I’m off to work on the first thing on my to-do list for January and see what comes of it!
