It has recently occurred to me that I know more than I give myself credit for.  I have spent a lot of time learning about SEO (Search Engine Optimization), how to get traffic, how to promote sites, and so on.  Although far from being an expert on these topics, I feel comfortable enough to remove the training wheels (so to speak) and go it alone.

If that made no sense, bear with me.

My learning has been come from many places.  I have bought e-books that have helped me.  I have asked questions in forums and on blogs.  I even paid for mentoring from one very helpful individual.  I did all those things because I didn’t know enough to successfully do them on my own.

A few days ago I bought an e-book about creating eBay affiliate sites.  The e-book was on sale and I figured I might learn something I hadn’t previously read.  

It took me about an hour to go through the e-book.  When I was finished, I was a bit shocked to realize there was nothing new to me!  Not only that, I knew more than the e-book had gone over.  While the e-book was perfectly fine for those new to eBay affiliate sites, there was not a single bit of new information in it for me.

That was the moment I realized that I actually do know enough.  

This week I have come to realize how to get traffic to my sites, and it’s pretty simple (but it does require an investment of time).  But I have a tendency to be easily distracted, so I am currently working on a “To Do” list for myself to keep me from straying.  When I’m done with it I will share it here, in case it is helpful to any of you.

Believe me when I say the idea in my head isn’t anything Earth-shattering, but I haven’t seen it spelled out the way I’m thinking of it.  I haven’t put it to use yet, so this will be the perfect place for trying it out and seeing if it works the way I think it will.  And, as always, I will be interested in the input from you readers, as you are very good at helping me see what I may have missed.
