One thing I struggle with a lot is the LONG grind it takes when I am first learning something.
My first product took me over 3 months to validate, 2 months to build, and 6 months of conversion optimization. That was about a year of work, to generate about $500-$1500/month (avg. $750/month or so).
My next venture was a "niche site" and that took me about a week to validate, 2 months to build, and 4 months of waiting until I got to a point where I was pursued by an affiliate program for lead generation. It went from $0 to $400/month with only about 2 months of work. Much less time.
When I first started writing copy for my first venture, it took me about 2 weeks to write an article, sales page, etc.
I just finished a piece of sales copy in about 15 minutes and it's better than any of the copy that took 2 weeks when I was writing for my first venture.
It does get easier over time. Just keep your head down and keep working on the skills.
It helps me to remember this sometimes when I feel like I am working on something for weeks with little results.
Thought someone else might be happy to hear it, since it helps me.
