Are you trying to build traffic to your site with “free” methods? I put “free” in quotes like that because,let’s face it: you’re spending time when you create and nurture a social presence, and you might be spending some cash on tools or training to make it easier.
That is: IF you’re putting in the time. For those of us with day jobs and/or family responsibilities, that can be a big “if.” That’s because of two factors: stress and fatigue.
Stress becomes an issue because you really, really want to build a business online, and it doesn’t take long before you realize that it takes consistent, persistent work to succeed (or even make any progress at all).
After you’ve handled your employer’s needs and helped out your family members, you wonder how much time you’ve got to maintain your site and to build your social media presence. And it’s a bit of a pain when you realize that it’s already bed time, and you need sleep to perform well the next day.
If you just go to bed at that point, you may get some decent rest, but the stress of having made no progress will haunt you.
If you push through and work into the night, you can reduce underachiever’s stress, but fatigue will build up over time and make you less effective in all areas of your life. And realizing it will create stress on its own. A vicious circle.
There are at least two ways to handle the stress: 1) you can spend money on junk food because crunching down a bunch of crap can alleviate stress, and/or 2) you can spend money on more training about how to succeed online, because the dopamine rush you get will give you the illusion of progress. Hey, at least you’re gathering knowledge, right?
So, heavier in the gut, lighter in the wallet, and no closer to earning money on line, what can you do?
Consider this: how much are you spending on chip, ice cream, and cookies? How much is going through your PayPal account to load up on courses and software on WarriorPlus, JVZoo, or wherever?
Five bucks a day can finance a starter campaign on Microsoft Advertising, formerly known as Bing ads.
