I just FINALLY added a couple new categories to my blog to try to organize things a bit better and make the important stuff easier to find. So I just added a motivation and success category to make those blogs easier to find for anyone that needs a boost or some inspiration.
One of my goals when I started the 5 Star Blog was to offer motivational and success-conditioning resources to my readers. It didn't happen at 1st. I got caught up in all the affiliate, SEO, ad blocking, cooking eating, parasite issues that affect our industry. However, affiliates, SEO's and many work at home affiliate managers face isolation, even frustration at times and realize how hard it can be to stay self-motivated and on-track.
If you want to stay on top of your game, associate with positive, like minded people. Hang out in upbeat forums with people who are focused on solutions - not problems. Try tuning in to some positive motivational tapes. Below are some free audio online resources you can listen to in the background while you build more pages and tweak your sites. I commit to trying to add more resources to this section of the blog over time, but there is some good stuff in there to get you started.
Til next time - stay focused and positive...
Happy selling!!!

I also believe like Linda... motivation is an excellent "tool" to help us all achieve what we desire. It helps us press on to accomplish what we set out to do.
Perhaps some of you may find a few of my free motivational "mini-posters" helpful in your daily dose of inspiration. I offer over 300 unique designs that are 5"x7" in size, and available to be printed out directly from one of my websites - Print-A-Poster.com
Please enjoy your fill of these free motivational and fun printables...

Oooooopppppppps sorry. I deleted that blog category by accident so those posts are mixed in the affiliate category. Guess I better unstick this thread now. I will try to repost any motivational blogs here in this forum in the future.
Use my blog search for words like success - motivation - etc. and you will find them.

Actually 90% of what is on the blog is here too. I try to copy my blog entries here so people can discuss them. The blog search and forum search both are pretty good at pulling things up if you are looking for specific topics.
Plus I had a bot auto posting all my blogs to this forum for awhile: http://affiliate-marketing-forums.5s...splay.php?f=36
so you can find lots of blog articles there. Had to pull the bot cuz he started posting dups and triplicates. BAD BOT!!!

ROFL - I wish...some days I think I need a boot to the butt myself. I suspect a lot of online marketers do.
Usually when my mind wanders or when I feel lethargic, it means that I need to refocus my energy and it's probably a good time to grab a snack, day dream, or write some articles off line.
After a few minutes, I'm usually refreshed enough to continue working
Do you know how much I have blogged and posted in forums about datafeed to blog conversion???? I have a big market ready for the solution and would love to promote your program when it's done if it does all the things I think a program like this needs to. Please contact me when you are close to launching.

Boy Linda, you hit the nail right on the head for me!
Its very hard to not get caught up in whats wrong with your program/product when everyone else is looking skeptically at what your doing thats supposed to be "right."
Does that make sense?
Working from home is great, but it also is very difficult to stay connected when you are on your own. I look forward to reading your success and motivational blog. Thanks for sharing.
