Conclusion
The main reason 99% of internet marketers never make any money is that they never take action to implement and focus a lot of time on everything at the same time for all the things that don’t matter and ignore the things that really do matter. They were just complaining about everybody’s fault except himself.
Just focus on 1 strategy at a time for maximum output. 20 blog posts and an e-book or a simple course is your target. Your only success factor is how you can repeatedly fail and improve again and again.
