Is It Failure or Frustration?

Today I read a post on why some people are successful and some are not. This post was very interesting to me as I have been working on a project that has come to a standstill and I feel failure in the air.

Here is a quote from the blog that I am talking about.

“I believe most people fail to take action because of their fear of failure and I’ll agree, failing sucks. Because of the action I’m always eager to take, I’ve failed plenty of times in my life. In fact, I’d bet I’ve failed more times than most of the people that have said I’m lucky - and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t call failing luck. Only the successes stand out (I know it feels like the whole world is watching when you bomb though - they’re not).”

What Causes Me To Fail?

As I was working on this project I realized that my most common problem is running into brick walls. I needed a way to put up a pay per download without all the time it takes to setup a PayPal button. I started searching for a way that would suit my needs. Well, this proved to be much more difficult than I anticipated. I started searching and the search continued for a good week or better.

At last, I finally found the program I was looking for but not through the intensive search but through a source that really had nothing to do with my searches, Go Figure; This program was perfect, I mean it has quick buttons, a large download area, a connection to PayPal’s IPN and other features that I am not going to go into at this point.

The bottom line is, I setup many links and some squeeze pages and many ways to connect to this pay per download income source that I was so adamant in creating. What do you think happened? Now keep in mind that I have been working on this project for months now and could feel this project really starting to take shape. Before I could go live with this project I had to know just how the buttons worked so I could show my potential customers just how easy the whole process would be.

I Became The Customer:

I decided to become a customer, so I posed as my wife and used her account and purchased a download from myself. I wanted the costumer experience so I could convince my potential customers just how easy this whole thing is. Well, I went through the whole process with PayPal and everything went off without a hitch. I even received an email that I received a payment from a customer. The only problem I am having is no product. I have no way of connecting to the download area.

Far be it for me to think that this new program would automatically take me to the download file. Well that’s where I am at with this project and am waiting for a response from the administrator of the program. The program is in bata mode and is quite new so help is limited.

The Bottom Line:

Look, the bottom line is that I have created many projects with the potential to be a success only to find failure in the fact that something complicated stopped me from perusing it any further.

Not This Time!

I say “Failure Is Not an Option”

This post is not about any program. It is not about technical background. There are a lot of people out there that get frustrated with things that many others have no problem with. I think that in my case, It’s time to keep pushing until I find the resources that I need to overcome my frustration.

How about you, what causes your failure?

What You Don’t Know About Using PLR Content – But Need To

Private Label Content (PLR) has been a hot topic in online business over the last couple of years. As more opportunities have emerged for people to make money with niche marketing, so has the demand for affordable content.

PLR is the perfect solution!

If you’re not familiar with how PLR works, it is essentially a way for multiple people to “share” content. Since they are all given access to use or change the content, they pay significantly less.

You can then use that PLR as is and put your name on it as the author. Or you can divide it up, add to it, combine it with other content, create an audio product from it… the sky’s the limit! The more creative you are, the more unique your resulting product will be.

For online marketers, this can mean a savings of countless hours of work over writing all of their content themselves. Or thousands of dollars in outsourcing fees if they were to hire a professional writer.

But before you get started using PLR to grow your business, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind:

1. It’s important that you trust the source of the PLR content – Not all PLR content is created equal. There are lots of people publishing inferior content that no marketer in their right mind would use.

Remember, once you put your name on the content, your potential customers think that you wrote it. If it’s not well written, informative and interesting you’ll make a bad impression. Even if you’re just using the content on your website to improve search engine rankings, it has to be good quality because prospects will be reading it and judging you based on it.


2. The best use for PLR is not article site submissions – Submitting articles to article directories can be a great promotion strategy. And in the early days of PLR that is primarily how people used the content. But the article directories have gotten smarter and realized that multiple people are submitting the exact same articles. This makes the directory look bad – so they’ve tightened up their policies and no longer allow this.

But that’s alright, because that’s probably the worst use of PLR content. It just makes you look bad if you’re publishing the exact same article as someone else. Instead, smart marketers are using PLR content to create their own unique products. Customers are less likely to notice any overlap in the information if you do this well.


3. Combining PLR is the easiest way to use it – If you use a piece of PLR content exactly as is, the odds are that you’ll be competing directly with someone else who is offering the same product. However, if you add other pieces of PLR content then you can create something that is uniquely yours. You still don’t have to do any writing, yet you have a product with different information then your competitors are offering.


PLR content truly is a great way to get the content you need for your business. It’s affordable, easily accessible and flexible. Whether you need content for your blog or want to create a complete product line, PLR is the perfect choice!

To Many Social Network Sites

I am one who loves the social network seen but enough is enough. I posted on the amount of social network sites back in February and was amazed at the numbers. The post is here: Social Networking, How Long Will The Craze Last? Anyway, you need to see for yourself just how many there are. I believe there have been quite a few added since then.

In most of the networks that I am a member of and I won’t go into detail on what ones they are but, I get many members trying to recruit me into their new networks that they just discovered. I usually write back and tell them that I belong to way to many already but thanks for the offer.

Social Networks are a great place to meet new people and build traffic to your blog but there comes a time when you have to say enough. Remember, being involved with means you have to be social. How can you be sociable when you are just answering every comment that is placed on you? After awhile it becomes a burden, you find yourself meeting everyone’s needs and neglecting what you are blogging for in the first place.

I find that to be a blogger I have to only be a part of a few social networks and not over do it. I belong to social networks that I am comfortable with. When joining a network you have to ask yourself these questions.

Are the people here receptive to new people?

Do they welcome or do they snub new, un-established faces?

Are they easy to navigate?

Do they have a good variety of networking tools for you to work with?

You can get most of these answers from reading the f.a.q.s, or asking members these questions. I find that a few good networks are much more rewarding than trying to join everything in sight.

You will find that most of your traffic will come from your friends who you communicate with on a daily basis. You will find that if they find something that interests or helps them, they will spread the word to their friends and fellow networkers.
