For years I acted like an idiot and treated my business like a hobby. Surprise, surprise it paid like one. I was so scared of failing that I was reluctant to put money into my websites. And I was scared stiff of paid advertising. I was scared to spend money I didn’t have on projects that may or may not work. Instead I’d spend hours learning how to drive free traffic to my products and to my websites. I must have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours learning how to create content, writing articles, learning SEO and doing countless other tedious tasks and failed miserably.

If I had just paid for the traffic — sure I would have been out of pocket — but I would have had the same results in a matter of hours or days. I’d have know if my projects were working and profitable very quickly indeed. Instead I was weeks and months. When You Pay for Traffic You Are Buying Results Now I appreciate that might sound expensive but think about it… You can always go and earn more money but you can never go and create more time. When its gone, it’s gone. When you waste days playing around with SEO only to see the search engines move the goalposts then you will never ever get that time back.
