One thing I’ve found is that discipline is important to finding success and this doesn’t exclude internet marketing. It can be frustrating – especially when you work on something nonstop with little to show for it. Well, I used to simply give up and move on to something else.
This is just about the worst thing I could do. Instead, it is much better to keep working and focus on one thing and make that successful before moving on to something else.
How Do You Know You’re Not Just Spinning Your Wheels?
Let’s say you have been working on something nonstop for several months and have very little to show for it. How do you know if your efforts have been worthwhile or if you are just spinning your wheels? Unfortunately, you don’t know for sure.
The best way to figure it out is to try several different things. For example, if you choose to monetize your blog, you may want to try several different affiliate programs. Once you start making sales, focus on promoting the ones that have been successful.
Focus Really Does Work
Case in point: 90% of last month’s income came from one source. It is something I had been working on for the past year. In October and November, everything finally clicked. I want you to see the same kind of success.
It’s all too easy to get distracted. My advice to you would be to find one thing that you want to do. Do you have a blog? Monetize it, write blog posts, and promote it. Set an income goal. Don’t move on to anytihng else until your blog reaches that goal. Focused effort will breed success.
Focus on One Really Good Resource or Method
My advice to you would be to find one really good resource. For affiliate marketing, my favorite is the Super Affiliate Handbook which focuses on affiliate marketing. Ros makes at least $50,000 each month on affiliate marketing, so she knows her stuff.
Other methods you can use include the Bum Marketing Method, finding clients for a freelance writing business, or writing eBooks and selling them for a profit. Remember that no matter what you do, you should not fall into the trap of trying several things at once. Make this your motto: Focus Builds Success.

I love your motto, Katherine! And thanks for pointing me in the direction of the Super Affiliate Handbook. It looks fantastic, and I need all the advice and hand-holding I can get! =)
