How easy is it to stay on track?
Jack Humphrey’s monthly newsletter for Web 2.0 publishers and marketeers is full of lots of useful information- I printed it out and sat in the sun to read it. I am receiving this as I signed up for his free Authority Black Book which is full of fantastic resources for Web2.0.
Jack’s Friday Traffic Report is a blog I subscribe to and full of great tips
The piece that caught my attention and I was able to have a good laugh about the article and at myself,was by Rick Butts of 1Affiliatelink: titled YOU BOUGHT WHAT? Why less is more in Internet marketing success.
This is something that I feel is worth sharing and something I know that has in the past stopped me moving forward. One of Lisa Diane’s Power Talks is devoted to this whole topic. I imagine many of you reading will relate to this, you might even get a good laugh.
