When I first started blogging seriously
five years ago,
A-List bloggers wouldn’t link to you
unless you had a year of daily blogging
under your belt.
A couple years later,
that increased to three years.
Last week,
I couldn’t get into a blogger party
because I ‘only’ had 5 years experience
(and likely also because I’m a pain in the ass).
When I first got published
two years ago,
I was told not to expect a profit
for at least the first five books.
A month ago,
I was told not to expect a profit
for at least the first ten books.
What is the lesson from this?
Start now.
There is a penalty for delaying.
Or,
people who know how much experience you have, tell you that you need more when you complain about failure. Until you succeed, the amount is always just beyond what you’ve got.
