#3 Chasing Software

April 19th, 2006 · No Comments

Have you noticed how many offers have started coming through your email tube lately? I have been pounded with offers to buy so many pieces of different software that you would think I owned a software retail store.

The trouble is I still take the time to read them all. We all want to believe that one of these scripts will be push-button easy to becoming a millionaire.
I’m not very smart. I read all these sales pages and actually believe that I can make $10K a month for re-arranging some articles and submitting to directories, or push a few buttons with a keyword spam generator and make some cash, or build a blog and slap some adsense on them, etc., etc.

Every week a new technique comes out promising to build faster, better, prettier sites for you to pollute the web with. Build, build, build as the mantra goes.

And that’s all good, but have you really fully utilized the software you bought last week, last month, before you go and purchase this week’s flavor? Yea me either.

One week I’ll want to build blogs and then the next week I’ll want to build content sites. Then the next day I’ll feel like spamming with keyword pages.

I’ll be seduced by the slick sales page of a promise of yet another cool way to build a site.

Well, I’m working on curing the addiction. I think it’s reasonable to insist that you make back your investment in whatever software before you go and buy another.

Two things will happen: 1) You’ll make sure that you really need the software you buy and 2) you’ll wring everything you can out of the script before you get seduced by the next model.

I know that’s what I will be striving for before I give some guberu my cash.
