If I carry on like this then I'm going to be £654 behind my target for the year.
My main issue, and I know this, it's just harder to rectify it than identify, and that is motivation. I need a routine for creating and uploading videos. Plus I need to be exploring more revenue streams.
I have for a while, been toying with hiring a social media manager, and after several weeks of searching through upwork.com, and interviewing various randoms over skype (including some guy from Bangledesh who wanted to know if I had a husband
) I hired this weekend, and am delighted to say it's actually some-one from this forum. Not sure whether they want to be named, as I will be posting the earnings on here as an outgoing.
I'm going to concentrate their efforts on the 123greetings revenue, as the £ per 1000 view is higher than youtube, so hopefully the returns will be greater
I spent some time in a car with a good new friend recently, who introduced me to podcasts, why have I never tried these before, a mine of information, and completely free!! I travel a lot with work so I've made the most of my time listening to the likes of Pat Flynn and Tim Ferris, look them up they're pretty inspirational guys when it comes to making money on line. I'm reading Tims book right now called the 4 Hour Work week, interesting read so far. I really really really wish I could maintain a blog, and post weekly, I could promote all this stuff through affiliate links. Oh why can't I be more disciplined.... :
