Increasing Your "Net Wealth"

Hey! You! Yes.. YOU! Stand Still Will Ya! (Pink Floyd Paraphrase)…

Are you flying around at a million miles an hour with no real direction? Does EVERY sales page look good to you? Does every “free” opportunity get you providing your name and email address to someone’s list – instead of building your own lists? If you said yes to one or more of these questions – you might have FireIronItis… and you know what? You are NOT alone.

One of the BEST pieces of advice I got when I started my last real estate company was this – “Pick ONE methodology and commit to it” and that is advice I have given to so many newbies in Real Estate since. I get calls all the time from people that tell me they have been trying to Rehab, Wholesale, Landlord, Probate, Short Sale, Luxury Home… and on and on, their way into success in real estate. The two biggest and best things I tell people is 1. PICK ONE, 2. GET A COACH and do everything they tell you to do.

Now if you read my first BLOG you know that I have three streams of income that I am trying to manage – Real Estate, Network Marketing and Internet Marketing. My plan is to combine the last two into a hybrid that is quite popular now “Internet Network Marketing” You also know that I completed on coaching program before starting with Alex and that my first coach referred Alex. So I have a Coach and I have a plan so … how’s it going?

Well, I’m in a “Dr. heal thyself” situation right now and I’m hoping that writing this BLOG will help me focus myself! You see, I have no less than 55 affiliate links I can promote for various things! FIFTY FIVE!!!! And that does not even take into account the 30 or more Master Re-sell Rights and Private Lablel Rights items I have on hand!! In addition I have several other training tools available to me that I purchased prior to Alex’s course – talk about running around in circles with no clear direction!

The reason I admit all of this … and I do see this as an admission because I am betting there are plenty of others in this boat that are too embarrassed to admit it (I’m here for you friend… I UNDERSTAND!). But the reason I am airing this publicly is to assign some accountability to myself and to think through what I have been doing with Alex’s course. See I have my BLOG up and I have the Profit Pulling Platform Up (The first one so far, anyway)… but I still feel like I’m underachieving – which is not a place I like to be! I feel like I’m missing something. Like I missed a big step somewhere because I don’t feel like my traffic is where it should be.

Here’s what I have been doing to drive traffic to my sites: Safelist marketing and Traffic Exchange marketing. For driving traffic to my BLOG I have been using Facebook and Twitter and, of course, Alex’s community. And yet… the numbers are not commensurate with my perceived efforts. So it occurs to me that my traffic is not targeted well enough AND it also makes me think that the Safelists and Traffic Exchanges are just marketers marketing to other marketers… and THIS is the part I find the most frustrating. I think it is also this fact that keeps me drifting in focus trying to find that thing that works to build the Holy Grail of all marketing – the LIST! I need to cure my own case of FireIronItis!!

I’ll let you know how it works out..
Peace~
