Is Over-Analysis Killing Your Online Success?

Before you know it, you've spent hours or even days on your computer and haven't a thing to show for it - and not least any sales!

It's time to take a step back, take a deep breath and get some focus. As Art Williams said, "No hocus-pocus, just focus"! There are a couple of questions I like to ask myself which help me keep my get my mind on the job in hand.

1. What's the best use of my time right now?

2. What action can I take right now which will move me towards my goal?

By asking these questions, my mind usually tells me the right answer. It often means doing a task which I've been putting off or which I maybe don't like to do. But your subconscious has a way of letting you know what's right, even if you might not like it!

We've all heard the well known phrase of Just Do It. The trouble is that we often get stuck on deciding exactly what 'it' really is! Sometimes we should replace that saying with "Just Do Something" to get us to take action!

The truth is, whilst one person is analysing a niche to death, another is actually taking action and setting up a simple website, driving traffic & monetizing it. Whilst another is pouring over keywords in their keyword tool of choice, another person has done a quick scan, picked out a short list and is busy creating articles and backlinks to rank for those keywords.

Things will very rarely work out the way you expect, no matter how perfect your preparation. So, by all means do some analysis, but remember that it's useless unless you act on it!

As Goethe said, "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." Wise words indeed - if only we paid them some attention!

The reason why we spend so much time on analysis is because we want to hit a home-run; we want what we're doing to be a winner. What the most successful internet marketers know is that winners do happen but sometimes they may have to work through several also-rans in order to find that winner. It's incredible the number of people who dive quickly into a niche to find out if there is a willing market out there and then move on just as quickly when their tests prove otherwise.

Would you rather spend all your time growing your successes or planning your unknowns? I know what I'd rather do.

So, put that analysis on the back burner and get on with taking some simple basic actions. Only by taking action will you get the results you want!
