Feeling The Pressure and Need To Vent

One of the upsides of writing a blog, is that you can use it to express any negative things you are feeling, as well as positive. I'm about to start my IM day and I'm feeling frustrated and disillusioned for a few reasons.

I haven't made any money for 2 days now, which is completely down to me - but on top of that my clicks(to CPA offers/Clickbank products etc) have dramatically dried up in the last few days. I could understand if my sites were sliding down the rankings - but they've actually been moving up, and traffic has been reasonably good(by my standards). We finally got an opt in to our main site list. I have no idea why it has taken a week since we put the free ebook and new opt in form on there.

It seems sales of my WSO are going to be very irregular and rare from now on. I'm sure most people that would be interested have now either seen it in the thread itself, or in my signature. Still, 11 sales isn't bad for my first WSO I guess.

Speaking of the Warrior Forum, I of course love the place but sometimes the nature of forum behaviour and trends(at ANY forum, not just WF) can be frustrating. Without sounding like a whiner(if I do, I'm just venting hehe), most of the time I feel my words and opinions don't hold much weight there. This is understandable, as I'm still fairly new and haven't yet built a reputation there on a big scale like many of the senior members. But I feel frustrated when I post something really helpful, and it is ignored, or somebody posts a worse suggestion(in my opinion) and gets a much better response.

Take for example the subject of article spinners. Whenever that subject comes up, it seems 90% of people say they are junk, and 10% talk about software that is good. This is fine, but on a couple of occasions I have posted about my fantastic experience so far with the spinner at Article Productions, only to be ignored. I even posted yesterday about how I spent one hour on an article, writing 3 alternatives for each paragraph. I spun 20 versions, and they ranged from 65% to 95% uniqueness. Now if I was reading that, I would sit up and take notice, but it seems most are happy to spend hundreds of dollars on software or use something free that spits out syntax format.

I guess I should just concentrate on my own business, but I like to help others too by posting about what works for me. Going back to the Article Productions spinner, if I'm frustrated, I can't imagine how frustrated James, the owner, is. He tries to tell people you don't have to spend money on software to have a good spinner, one that is human controlled - but it seems it falls on deaf ears for the most part.

I posted a review of The Focus Master in the product section, and it is sliding down the first page with a very low amount of views and no replies. Yet, automated programs and expensive programs that promise to 'make you thousands' seem to guarantee lively discussions. Oh well, I can only post what works for me. Everybody has their own opinions about what works for them.

I'm about to set my daily tasks, which I haven't really decided on yet. I know I need a good day to pull myself away from feeling negative and disillusioned. I need more traffic, and some sales. It's my job to go and get them. Hopefully my entry later will be more positive than this one, and I apologise for whining. We all need to vent sometimes though.
