I heard a nifty expression this week. It’s something called ‘hugging the cactus‘. That’s not a phrase I can remember hearing before…but I liked the sound of it. It means embracing something painful, for the greater good. Apparently, it’s used in terms of addiction recovery and stuff like that. However, we can apply it to online marketing too. Why? Many of the things we need to do to make our businesses produce cash like a busted ATM are boring, mind-numbingly dull, repetitive, and often slow to produce results. But, if we don’t do them we don’t get decent results. So, settle in for the ride. Do what has to be done. Set yourself a schedule and mark it off every day. Before you know it there will be a trickle of income. That will grow into a stream of income. Be warned though, not all streams can or will turn into a river or torrent of cash. However, once you have one flowing, the maintenance is minimal, and you can start another. Go on, hug that cactus. Regards, P.S. One of the daily activities you need to do when you have a free account at https://go.wm-tips.com/llhome is to actively view other people’s ads so you can get visits to yours. I recommend viewing 100 every day for good results. But this is not the only activity you can do to bring visitors to your ad or landing page. You can park the link to your page anywhere you like, including buying traffic through solo ads or other sources. It’s all cactus hugging, though, so you might as well get used to it. |
