How we approach something will have a great deal to do with how successfully we use it. I am currently looking to create multiple streams of income from my writing. I have already decided to use Amazon as my "portal". It is easy to upload written material (whether book-length or pamphlets), and Amazon has a huge audience.
There are many programs out there that talk about different systems for making money selling books on Amazon. I recently came across one that sounded good to me, so I signed up for a multiple-day live event that will take place this coming January. That seemed a bit far ahead, but it sounded good, and the price was right, and it is something that I am looking forward to.
The downside is that I have been getting over half a dozen e-mails daily since then with videos and upsells. For the first couple of days, I was overwhelmed. Then I told myself that all I needed to do was watch what I wanted to (some of the videos were free training) and not watch the rest.
I am happy with this decision. I don't want a live phone call from an associate, although for many people, this will work well. I don't want to be pushed into anything. This is the important thing - take from any program/opportunity what you want, what works for you. If you have questions, ask. Be open to what these programs/opportunities have to offer. Check out their credibility on the Internet. Read past the sales pitch - recognize BS when you see it.
By combing through the information in the program I have signed up for, I know that I can create a solid foundation for continuing sales for many years to come. No building of a new website, no e-mail lists, just good digital content to offer and an effective way to advertise it.
Do not be afraid to take only what you want from any opportunity. Be who you are. Live a balanced life.
Wishing you all much success with your writing!
