I suffer from IOD (Information Overload Disorder). It’s a commonly mis-diagnosed disease because its outcomes simulate laziness. In fact IOD is anything but laziness. One might say it’s the converse of laziness by nature of its sheer and exhausting over-activity. Still, IOD does share the outcome of laziness.
Doesn’t it seem paradoxical that over-activity results in lack of productivity? I’d even venture to call it oxymoronic. Over-activity in information gathering seems to foster AILOMI (An Incredible List Of Marketing Ideas) which can be cured by a very complex remedy called FOCUS (Fooled Overly Curious Users Successfully – no, I fooled you, it’s not an acronym, so focus NOW!). Left unattended, IOD and AILOMI without FOCUS will always lead to “Failure To Launch.” Um, I don’t have an acronym for FTL, just initials, not an acronym. “Failure To Launch” could however be abbreviated to FaiTL, and coincidentally Failure To Launch is quite fatal.
Symptoms: Uncontrollable curiosity; unrestricted drive and desire to learn and succeed; a vast library of literature on the hard drive; a complete lack of monetized content on the Internet; a depleted bank account; bill collectors; foreclosure; living on last $200 of credit card limit, and a prayer. (Well, those are just MY symptoms, yours may differ.)
Cure: The “little blue pill” for IOD, AILOMI, and FaiTL is Affiliate Marketing Schoolbook & Mentoring.
Prognosis: Without the cure, likely to continue searching, but never … Oh, look at that link for an eBook. Please wait while I check it out. I’ll be right back to finish writing this note for Laura Burke…

I LOVE my “job.” Affiliate marketing takes work, but it doesn’t feel like work.
