I’m just (re)starting after dabbling in affiliate marketing with limited success 10 yrs ago so I don’t have specifically relevant experience to cite, but a lifetime of experience in other endeavors makes me agree 100% with a very narrow focus until you get going. That said, I totally relate to the Tony’s comment about “shiny objects”, that challenge prevented my success the first time I tried as I shifted from one marketing idea, niche or product to another. I so hated the idea of potentially wasting my effort for months on an unsuccessful niche or channel (blogs, video, podcasting, Adwords, membership sites, Kindle books, SaaS, etc, etc) that as soon as another idea came along I would shift. But I now realize that there’s ALWAYS a better idea (and frequently they’re not really better, just different), but my mistake was not getting enough content created for any one idea/niche to allow it to become successful. Just my 2 cents, but I agree with focusing on content until you get traction before moving on. What’s the old saying “Chase 2 rabbits and you’ll catch none.” 🙂 (Sorry for the long post!)
