Do you suffer from information overload trying to make money online?
Hi all,
As you know I am learning to make money online from all those who are successful online already, as you might have also experienced this, I have a sort of Information overload with all the information available and it is really hard to sift through all that information and find which is useful and applicable. So many ways to make money, so many teachers, so many ebooks which to choose and apply?
So after going through this phase this is what I have been doing, I am sticking to only one form of method which I want to pursue to bring in online money is Affiliate Marketing. Now I am following some of the very successful blog who are more open to share the info and reply back to their users.
Cutting down on Information gathering, as I read some where “you need to know enough to be successful, no need to know everything.” In my Google reader I have now feeds which can help me in achieving my goals, there is no more lifehacker, techcrunch etc. they were taking way too much productive time. Yes I know I can be more disciplined but hey why have the distractions in the first place.
Having goals and an action plan to follow, I am using this simple but effective formula.
- Written Goals (What, When and WHY?) Why is the most important, I had struggled with Why in the past and there are ways to overcome this too, in future post about that.
- What are you willing to give up to achieve your goals.
- Have a action plan to achieve the written goals
- Review the action plan regularly and make adjustments.
I hope this helps, I will be more than happy to answer your questions.

I sometimes feel a bit overloaded, but normally a cigarette and a cup of tea sort me out. It’s best to break everything into chunks and continually be making lists.

[...] In my journey to make money online I did take the first step couple of days ago, yes I know it took me more than 2 months to overcome the initial hump, you can call it beginners anxiety, fear of unknown etc but I think it was the information overload. [...]

Most people try and make money online by trying to teach other people on how to make money online. It’s just one infinite cycle.
