ARTICLE MARKETING FAILURE

ARTICLE MARKETING FAILURE - SPREAD THIN

I am getting ready to head off to the gym for my workout. Yes I really need to get into the gym and start losing some fat. I have not been for some time and sitting at my desk has created a not very pretty picture.

What does going to the gym have to do with “Article Marketing” and failure? Nothing on the surface, but it symptomatic of a major reason for Marketing Failure. Spreading ourselves to thin.

I started this blog with great intention, I also began Squidoo Pages and a couple other blogs, all with great intention. Along with these endeavors I have other aspects of marketing as well as living that come into play. I am spreading myself to thin, all except the waist line that is.

You are never too old to learn and your never too experienced to make a mistake. I have made a few in the past few months and they are causing me to take a second look at a few of my decisions. Focus: is one of the key ingredients for success and I really have lost focus of late.

I need to take a couple of days and look at what I am doing, what I am not doing well enough and where I am spending too much time, time that would be more valuable in other area’s.

One place that glares out and screams, enough, is squidoo. I have gotten so focused on building squidoo pages that I am not spending enough time with this blog and other areas that I really need to focus on. I had this idea of getting the “Giant Squid” that I have now built more than 75 squidoo lenses. Enough already! If it is going to happen, its going to happen, time to focus some place else.

Do you spend enough time focusing on one thing to be successful or are you spread to thin? There is no shame in realizing that something you do is not working. There is no blame in realizing you need to spend more time working on one area instead of another. There is shame in not admitting that you need to make a change, do something different or just throw in the towel and move on. That is part and parcel of trying and then trying again.

Never fall in love with an idea and refuse to let it go. If you do, you work hard and see few if any real rewards for your effort.

Until Next Time This Is The Marketing Hobo Saying - stay flexible.
