Let's Talk - Where Are You With Your Online Business?

[wan4941]

Hi Lynn,

I've been around the block and back since getting started trying to MMO. Like a lot of people, I've bought a fair number of courses and haven't really got anywhere. My main obstacles were not having any budget and a lack of any particular skills.

Now, I have found a "mentor" if you like that feels right for me. Importantly, we are in the same country which really helps with communication. Also, you won't find him advertising with any flashy sales pages, ridiculous profit claims, photoshopped paypal statements, etc, etc.

He has over 20 years experience of IM and is coaching his own methods of Affiliate Marketing, which involves a lot of research which I have never seen before.

His emails are very informal and sets us tasks to do. I feel that I am on the right track to develop a complete online business, not just various money making schemes.

That's where I am today

Hi Wan,

Great to see you here again! This guy you're working with sounds like my male clone. I'd love to meet him, if you don't mind sharing his name and/or link. Thanks!

Hi Lynn,

Unfortunately, I couldn't send a pm to you regarding my mentor.

I didn't want to post a link in the forum, for obvious reasons.

Maybe there's another way?

Hey Lynn,

I've listened in on many of your webinars and have followed you on social media for awhile now. THANK YOU so much for your helpful posts and all the great info you share daily.

After all the Google updates...Panda, Hummingbird, etc...my income has been on a (very) steady decline. Before, of course, I was doing awesome. I'm sharing that in my (still upcoming) eBook. YES, It's still in the works. However, much of (this year), I've been at many stalls with the completion of it. It's about many fast and free ways newbies can make money from home. Also, sharing exactly how I made money before all the Google updates.

The beginning of the year, we lost my Dad to a bad heart valve...and a ton of things have been going on (one right after the other) this year. It's been a REALLY BAD year for me!

So, yes...been spinning my wheels through this year and struggling to get my eBook done. It WILL get done! About 3/4's of it done so far. My motivation has been non-existent. However, trying hard to stay positive. I'm also trying to expand my reach with business associates and friends through social media.

That's where I'm at now.

I can't believe it's almost October!! lol

I can relate Tammy - this year has really flown by, with a lot of sidetracks here as well. Regarding the Google Updates, see: http://www.clicknewz.com/12713/are-blogs-dying/ In addition to that, people are simply using search - and the web in general - differently now than they were before.

What is the topic of your book? I'm curious how your past successes (that cannot be duplicated currently) are relevant. Sounds interesting!

[tam2005]

Thanks for your reply.

My book is about... (copied from above in my post)

Many (actually 21) fast and free ways newbies can make money from home.

I read your post about blogs dying. Very interesting. I have (3) blogs, however, I have not had the time (or motivation) to actively do up posts on them this year.

About your post though, what I plan to do is keep my blogs AND my Facebook and Twitter presence going so I'll have both bases covered. (That is after this eBook is complete and out on the market).

Oh...there is a specific reason why I've procrastinated on the project for so long. It will be revealed in the book. I have a procrastination page.

Thanks again Lynn!

Lynn Terry,

I selected the third option but I actually fall between 2 and 3. I am actually moving forward but not making loads of cash - not so much.

I just started in August, but I am very grateful for the 1 client I have and the income I receive from working with her. (plus I'm learning some new things too)

This month I'm pushing myself personally to get out from behind my screen and actually interact with my audience. It's scary but I'm meeting some lovely people. It's kind of fun too.

Good luck Sara, I think it may need to take some time until you will see significant progress.

That's great, Sara! Congrats on starting your business recently. If you want to brainstorm ways to fast-track your business and income, start a new thread and let's brainstorm! ;-)
