Although my current marketing plan is 75% internet marketing and 25% freelancing, it still burns when I bid on a freelance or marketing project and the client declines my proposal. I just hate getting declined. Now, I don’t mind getting declined for being too high as I certainly don’t’ want to work with any cheap clients. But to be declined becaue the person doesn’t like my style, just stings. Ok, it really burns me up.
For once, I would like to write someone that declines my bid, I would really like to give them a piece of my mind. Here’s what I would say, “Hey, I just noticed that you declined me because you didn’t like my style. Well, I just wanted to let you know that you’re an idiot that doesn’t know a good thing when you see it. To be honest with you, I shouldn’t have even placed a proposal on your stupid project and if I had known what I know now, I wouldn’t have. Goodbye idiot and good luck finding someone with real talent and finesse to complete your dumb project.”
Yep, that is what I would write. But for now, I just have to chuck it up, dust myself off and hope that someone else likes my style.
If you’re like me, you’re probably bombarded with messages from internet gurus who want to share with us some get rich quick scheme. I used to be one of those “get rich quick types” junkies. Yes, I admit it. I used to buys a ton of internet marketing crap and then dream of hitting it big with the newest super IM technique. Then, I would get overwhelmed with too much information and do nothing because the newest and greatest method just didn’t work for me. Then, I would hear about something else and buy the next method and start the craziness all again.
It was ridiculous and this went on for way too long. Now, I don’t do that anymore. I set realistic daily income goals and I use the methods that I already know. My new motto is “If it isn’t broke then don’t fix it.” And, you know what? I am less stressed and I have miraculously realized that I don’t have to figure it all out at once.
I can take my time and go at my own pace. I can relish in my small successes and experience joy when I meet my daily goals and then be happy with that. After all, evidence has shown, over time that the “slow and steady” wins the race.
So, my question to you today is, are you on the slow and steady course or the fast track? How is it working for you?

Today I visited Associated Content and I noticed that one of the same writers that is featured on Associated Content’s content with over 1,000,000+ page views is the same writer that has also been featured on eHow and Triond in their featured content/writer section.
It made me wonder, how in the heck can a writer manage to write 3000+ quality articles within 2 years and still work full time at a demanding position (like a physician)? My only guess is that they must have excellent time management skills, be extremely dedicated and absolutely love writing and sharing their knowledge with others.
I mean, it takes a lot of dedication and time to produce 3000+ articles within 2 years. I know because I’ve written about 2000(under various aliases) and I have no idea how many I’ve written for clients but I do know that it is ALOT.
My point is, if I realistically produced 8-10 articles a day and had little buddies working for me to promote my various niche sites and informational products, I could really change other people’s lives AND make some serious dough.
Hmmmm really makes you think, doesn’t it? I guess I better get off my fanny and write more and more articles. I’ll keep you posted.
