But if I hadn't taken the time to do it, my motivation would have stagnated like the tank water as my sales suffered the same fate as the turtles would. By knowing for sure where to focus my efforts, everything went well - and once a marketer hits a certain level they can outsource the maintenance, as you could by hiring an 'indoor pool boy'. ;) Basically, the easiest example I can offer is a car - you do a bit of maintenance and it goes from A to B. But for the superior performance you need a race car that goes from A to B much faster. And those need a lot more maintenance a lot more often. Just like Internet Marketing. And just like your great turtles. <abbr><em>Doug Champigny´s last blog post..<a href="http://captain-affiliate.com/affiliate-marketing/the-easiest-affiliate-marketing-sales/">The Easiest Affiliate Marketing Sales</a></em></abbr><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('166','Doug Champigny'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('166','Doug Champigny','Like any other Type-A marketer, I hate taking time away from my writing and promotional activities for anything as \'mundane\' as maintenance - after all, it\'s an activity that doesn\'t generate any immediate revenue of and by itself.\r\n\r\nBut if I hadn\'t taken the time to do it, my motivation would have stagnated like the tank water as my sales suffered the same fate as the turtles would.
