What Makes Me Qualified
Reading the post from 45n5.com, “Your Best And Worst Make Money Online Skill?” got me to thinking: Why do I believe I’m going to be able to do this?
Strength: My day job is a web designer. I make pretty things. I can write html and css, and read and edit most programming. I feel like I have all the skills and knowledge I need to make money in affiliate marketing.
Weakness: For some reason, every time I go to put a campaign together, I get stuck. It’s easy to say “Just do it,” and it’s another thing entirely to actually, well, do it.
So why do I get stuck? I’m not sure really. Even just picking the campaign I want to run becomes a stumbling block. It seems like there’s only so many offers that every network has, and so in my mind, I get stuck thinking there’s only a few major markets that do cpa, for instance: financial, dating, ringtones, education, diet, insurance. So if there’s only a few major markets, don’t all the offers already have serious competition? It feels like I want to make a new soda company, but how do I break in when Pepsi and Coke already own everything?
Tell me if I’m being small minded. I guess this is a pretty major weakness I’m going to need to get over, stat.
