I have about 10 different avenues of income that could come in, but finding the time to focus on learning, and creating is overwhleming.

I have created my first affiliate site, but have not submit it yet as i have not created the extra pages like material that gives higher ratings, and I havent had time to get linked with other sites.

Do you normally submit your site then start contacting other tsites to partner with?

Yes, because it can take awhile for the SE's to crawl your site. Build some decent content to flesh out your concept. Then submit, then get your links. Then build more content Smile and the circle continues.

Best wishes,
Debs

Take one step at a time.
work on one income stream until it is producing sufficiently.
plan your time each day.
do the tasks that are most important each day.

launch that site, get it out there.
Most successful marketers will tell you that it is taking action that sets them apart from the others.

As Deb says, it takes time to be indexed and you could be making gravy during that time.

Test the components of your copy, your headline and subs, your offer, your gaurantee etc. using split testing. there are scripts or programs available to do this.

Track all your ads.

contact prospective partners for joint ventures.

Get feedback from others and your customers along the way.

You are further along than many ever get.

Don't expect great success in the beginning, creating your product is only half the battle.

Be excited about and enjoy the process, have fun.

Take action...don't wait for things to be perfect...get that program out there.

Mitch

shiner25,

Mitch and Debs offer good advice.... start one income stream, work it, tweak and start building another. Don't let your brain tie you in knots.

Take action, learn, fail, move forward. No action means ZERO revenue streams.

Don't overestimate the time it can take to get listed by Google currently.

I decided to submit my new site by linking to it from another of my sites. I thought it would take some time - time I would use to add further content.

The new site was in the SERPs within a few days meaning a rush to get the basics finished off.

Google are constantly updating their index at the moment.

Blimey, it's not very often you hear people complaining Google indexes too fast! Wink Laughing

It's a good point about the power of being found rather than submitting though.

All the best,
Charlie.

Absolutely Niall, nothing is set in stone, SE's in particular change things so fast. Google has always preferred finding sites and pages on its own though so that's no surprise. One reason exchanging links is such a good idea Smile
