Don’t be afraid of failing, it allows you to succeed (If you learn)

Success and failure are two sides of the same coin.

In my online life, I have failed much more than I have been successful, which is lucky because you can learn so much more from failing than you can from hitting a home run.

Here is what I’ve learned from failing

Tip 1 — Stick to One Marketing Method

Pick one thing and stick to it for at least six months, It normally takes that long for things to start to work. I’ve seen so many people give up and move on just as things were about to change for them.

To put this in perspective, when I started, I was still earning less than $100 a month after 14 Months because I’d jumped around trying different things.

After 18 months, I was earning $4000 per month as I’d learned to focus on one form of marketing.

Tip 2 — Do you really need that tool?

You don’t need half the tools you’ve bought or that you’re going to buy in the future. Try and focus on learning good marketing techniques, and they will last you for a lifetime.

Only buy a tool if you know it will speed up a process you are comfortable with already.
