Ok, you’ve been to the forums, you’ve scanned all the posts, all the replies, followed the links down all the rabbit holes….what now?
Well, you are probably suffering a well known condition that affects both newbies and seasoned Internet Marketers and it can be summed up as:
Information Overload
This is a place we all get to. All you have to do now is sort out the wheat from the chaff….. Easier said than done my friend.
You suddenly remember the 17 articles, eBooks, and other stuff you have dropped onto your hard drive. Which ones are relevant? Which should I follow? I’ll open this one…no this one. Perhaps I’ll open all of them at once. After all it’s about time I proved to my wife/husband/partner/cat that I CAN multitask.
So now you can’t see your desktop. Can’t see half of the open files because they are hidden behind OTHER open files. You’re confused, you have a sudden headache, your eyes have started to work independently. You close everything down and go back to Solitaire, have another coffee, perhaps go to the TV and watch something relaxing.
OK, have a break, settle down and relax, there is an answer. Go back to the forum you liked best. The forum where people cared about each other and helped each other. The forum where questions were answered without the sarcasm sometimes found in some forums.
Log in and ask for advice. Let them know what your problem is and, if they are the type of people I deal with, you will have your answers. Someone there will have come across the same articles etc. you are looking at and may take the position of mentor, offering help to get you over the problem.
After a short time, you wonder what all the fuss was about. You have cut the articles and eBooks down to a manageable number and finally you’re getting somewhere. Take it easy, read the stuff you have kept, make notes, put an action plan together. Take relevant sections from the files you are looking at and put them into a notepad file. After a while, you will have a condensed list of things you can put together that won’t overwhelm you.
I hope this helps.
OK, I’ve said enough for now, I’ll get back to you soon.
