Has Charlie Given Up On Affiliate Marketing?

Ok,  so your probably wondering where the hell I’ve been.   I start this blog to track my one year journey to see if I can make this work using the Affiliate Article Writing and Article Marketing,  I post a couple of times and then disappear for 2 weeks.

So what gives you ask?

Well I since my last post on 9/7 I’ve been on the road in Chicago doing a big project.  I’m an I/T guy and we had a huge systems install that cause me and my team to work 12-15 hours a day for most of the time I’ve been away.

I know excuses, excuses.

When I look back over the last 2 weeks there were times I was sitting in my hotel room and could have wrote an article but didn’t.  Shame on me.

But this is a learning experience for me.  I’ve been at the affiliate marketing thing for a while now and have never make it big.  I’ve had the tools, the ability, the knowledge but have lacked the execution.   I wonder why,  could I be afraid to be successful?

Well I’m not sure of the answer, but one thing I do know is I’m very attracted to shinny objects.   And what I mean is I have a very hard time focusing on what’s at hand,  which is interesting because its not that way in my normal job life.

I’m always looking for the next approach or tool.   I think this is mainly because I’m just not fond of writing so I avoid it like the plague.  But I need to get over that or find a great writer to pay so I don’t have to do anything but submit articles.

Not sure I have that much money…   OK time to just buck up as my wife would say and get it done.

Thanks for the therapy session,  It’s good to write your thoughts down every now and then because what flows out of your fingers may shock you.

Now on to what little I have done.

Just tonight posted a new article on ezines.  I’m working on the 100 I had a ghost writer do, the problem with them is while they have some good content they need to be re-organized, partially re-written and some points added to each one.

I had also mentioned before that my son was going to be helping me out.   Well that’s not happening.  Now he has started his senior year of high school this project doesn’t even hit his radar.  Guess I can’t blame him,  I would have been the same way in my day.

One last thing for tonight,  while I didn’t get anything submitted in the last couple of weeks I did make another sale,  this one from a repeat customer.   Got to love life time commission programs!

Oh and I did get a small check from one program as well,  now I need to add a couple of zero behind the amount and we will be cooking with gas then.

I’ve updated the sidebar with my latest status and look forward to submitting more tomorrow.

Thanks for reading!
