Let's face it...marketing is DULL for most people. I read in a forum about a woman who loves her handmade Etsy store, but HATES to promote the marketing side of it. She hates trying to get visitors through all the traditional methods of promotion and I really can't say I blame her.
One of the key elements to being a success online is to actually ENJOY what you do. Don't promote some long, boring affiliate gateway page if your heart really isn't in it. There are people who do like online marketing, but if you're not one of them then avoid doing something you can't stand, as that will only add to your frustration and make you want to give up your online business without giving it a proper chance.
Find something you like first, and then find a fun way of promoting it, so it will then seem less like work and you'll stick with it longer. Think of the internet as a big flea market where lots of people have stuff to sell, but with social sites you can swap ideas of what works for you. Find forums and sites related to yours and chat with others within your niche.
If you're having fun, then you're more likely to succeed. Your enthusiasm will likely spill over to other aspects of your online business and every little bit helps. Get away from anything you're not happy with now! Enjoy your new business!
