World holding me back from Mastering mobile - Challenge accepted
nvm.....
First of all, I want to commend you for starting a follow-along - doing so will keep you accountable and will get you valuable feedback you wouldn't otherwise get - so definitely a good move!
It's easy to feel unmotivated. Heck - I for one experience that often enough! This AM game has so much uncertainly involved. Sometimes it just feels overwhelming - a campaign not launched feels like money saved, and by not trying you can't fail. This is a big reason why so many people quit. It takes some major changes in perspective to survive and ultimately succeed in AM.
I think hiring VAs is a great thing to do! Now you're pushed to keep up with your VAs in order to keep them busy. Between that and this follow-along you should have more motivation to get something going. If that's not enough still, try to join a mastermind to have group members keep you accountable.
BTW - do you do adult traffic? Since you enjoy SlutRoulette as a customer, you must know the service inside out so you should be able to think up some great advertising angles!
Regarding offers being pulled, unfortunately that's just part of the game. I'm having flashbacks to the time when I chose 3 CPI offers - 2 of which were international offers - did exactly what you did: get all the research done and translations for like 5-6 languages and creatives made for multiple geos - then all 3 offers got pulled on me within a week. I took that as a sign and decided to do pop instead.
To minimize the impact of offers ending on you, you can try verticals that are evergreen and have tons of offers to test. Stuff like sweeps, antivirus, male enhancement...so that if one offer ends you can test other offers to find a replacement.
The only "problem" I have with your rant is this part:
Do this one thing for me: Go to the Success Stories section and read a few of those stories. Then ask yourself why you can't be as successful or even more successful than they are. If you can come up with any valid reasons, please tell me so I can disprove them on the spot for you.
Many people waaaay underestimate the power of expectation on the actual final result. If you expect something to turn out badly it will - that would be the best way to shoot yourself in the foot.
Ever since I started to monitor my thoughts and emotions, and to deliberately lean towards more positive thoughts, more and more pleasant surprises have happened in my life. That would be another story to tell for another time. If you don't abhor new age concepts, feel free to check out Abraham Hicks' teachings. (Disclaimer: This is a personal suggestion which in no way reflects the position of the STM forum.)
There's absolutely no reason why you can't succeed. The only thing standing in the way is your negativity. You're doing all the right things - joining STM, hiring VAs, starting this follow-along...now just please give yourself a break and think more positive thoughts and you'll get there!
Don't mean to sound harsh. I wrote that with all the love I could muster. Now that I've replied to your post I'm subscribed to this thread, so please keep us all posted on your progress....I'll be watching you!
I don't believe in coincidences. You joined this forum at the right time. You're ready to give this opportunity your best shot. You're committed enough to hire people to help you achieve success. You're ready to make 2016 your break-through year.
You deserve this - you just need to let it happen.
