I am guilty of starting on too many things at one time and never actually excelling in any one of them but I caught the same portion of the conversation that you did and it sent off the big proverbial light bulb above my head! It's not that I didn't already know that, but to hear it from the likes of Willie and Doug I think it may have finally sunk into my thick skull. I am looking forward to getting the audio and transcripts so I can dig into this a little more deeply and focus on one thing at a time, track it, make notes of it in the transcripts, and find out which ones I am good at over time. Then I can work specifically on those and eventually I can work that much harder on the ones I had difficulty with until I can become good at those as well. .-= Brett McEllhiney´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BrettsEbooks/~3/SIHHs3m40Ac/">Accelerating Your List Building!</a> =-.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10235','Brett McEllhiney'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10235','Brett McEllhiney','I agree Mike, it was truly a great call!\r\n\r\nI am guilty of starting on too many things at one time and never actually excelling in any one of them but I caught the same portion of the conversation that you did and it sent off the big proverbial light bulb above my head!\r\n\r\nIt\'s not that I didn\'t already know that, but to hear it from the likes of Willie and Doug I think it may have finally sunk into my thick skull.\r\n\r\nI am looking forward to getting the audio and transcripts so I can dig into this a little more deeply and focus on one thing at a time, track it, make notes of it in the transcripts, and find out which ones I am good at over time.

It’s not that I didn’t already know that, but to hear it from the likes of Willie and Doug I think it may have finally sunk into my thick skull.

Thanks to you and your readers for the kind words about the call Willie & I did - think I'm still recovering from it! ;) Your post brings up another important key to advanced traffic generation - it's important to know as many ways to drive traffic as possible, but also to be discerning in which methods you use on each service, product or affiliate promotion. For example, article marketing works great long-term - but doesn't help promote a 3-day sale. Twitter works great - but only those days you actually tweet the link. It's the synergy of various tactics that builds successful traffic strategies, and focusing on one at a time as you learn them is the ONLY way to truly succeed long-term, as you pointed out. .-= Doug Champigny´s last blog ..<a href="http://dougchampigny.com/power-packed-advanced-traffic-generation-training/">Power-Packed Advanced Traffic Generation Training</a> =-.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10231','Doug Champigny'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10231','Doug Champigny','Great post, Mike!

I do quite a few of the ways but I got good and focused on one at a time. Tracked it and tweaked it then added the next then the next. You can do more than one and you should but you need to focus on adding one at a time and not any others until you get the first one.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10228','Mike Paetzold'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10228','Mike Paetzold','I think you misunderstood.

You can't do it all, but I think you can do two or three at a time. I am doing some article marketing, blogging and twittering. They each need a portion of time and I do need to watch what I am doing since I tend to get distracted. But I have to agree with the main thrust of your comment. Focus and working to completion are biggies. .-= Earl Netwal´s last blog ..<a href="http://microbusinessspecialist.com/blog/seo/your-business-can-climb-to-the-top-of-the-search-engines/">Your Business Can Climb to the Top of the Search Engines</a> =-.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10227','Earl Netwal'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10227','Earl Netwal','I enjoyed the call as well, and fully agree with you in general.

I think the key now is to do as you suggest and get good a one of the traffic methods. I've been working with Advanced Twitter Marketing. It is working. Will start working on some of the other methods also. It would be tempting to try to start doing all of them. But I know that to focus on a few is far better, then con work on the others. I am sure I will be listen to the call several times as I try to work on the traffic tips that Doug and Willie covered. .-= Lonnie Minton´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.affiliateinternetbusinessonline.com/internet-marketing/two-top-internet-marketers-talk-traffic-tips">Two Top Internet Marketers Talk Traffic Tips</a> =-.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10225','Lonnie Minton'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10225','Lonnie Minton','Mike it was indeed a good call.
