Hitting the Wall -- Making Any Online Income System Work Takes Commitment

Marathon runners talk about "the wall" that happens at about mile 18 or so of a marathon. This is the point where the body is screaming "STOP." Every muscle is on fire, the pain blocks every thought except to quite. Only those with mental toughness get through.

That's where I am with My Online Income System. I'm hitting the wall.

I feel like quitting. Of course, I'm not going to, but I feel like it.

I've put in time and effort that I could have spent on other, easier activities. Sure, I've seen some limited success, but that's what it is -- limited. I've made about $2 from Adsense -- from this blog. I've had a little over 300 visitors. To my main site, I've had 105 visitors, but no sales. Hhmmm, that to me says there's a problem with the landing page. Unfortunately, I am using a free site because I'm committed to not spending money on any online income system unless I'm making money. This may have been the wrong decision, but if the testing was done that was supposed to be done on the landing page, I should be getting conversions (sales). But being the eternal optimist, I still believe I will start to see sales of my online income system.

I've now published over 100 articles -- and I have 16 pending at Ezinearticles.com (geez, they can be slow!). This is definitely the best directory out there, though. I'm getting the best view numbers and the best click-thrus. I saw a definite uptick in my website traffic when I had an article picked up by a publisher -- I think that's a key to success when promoting an online income system. I'm continuing to write and post. I'm just hoping I start to see results.

And speaking of writing and posting, there is Associated Content. I am consistently getting my articles approved for upfront payment and I'm getting the pay-per-view numbers increasing every day. Plus, I've been able to write some fun stuff, so I'm happy I found that service. I've made over $60, so this is definitely something I will continue.

So here I am, pushing through the Wall. What did the little engine that could say? I think I can. I think I can? Actually, I know I can, I know I can, I know I can.

Here's to your success.
