Another cause of failure: information overload.

[Thiago Machado]

Hey guys,

So im trying to start up something "simple" yet I'm not even able to get it off the ground.
I am skilled in graphic design, translation, copywriting (improving day by day along with everything else.)

Now I probably have come to the conclusion as to why I am failing...

1) I have failed to market my services
2) I am suffering from "information overload"

Now, whenever i start looking up something, whether it be a lesson, tutorial, "how - to's" and basically anything that will help me get something done or acquire new skills I tend to get lost with so much information out there that I don't even know where to begin.

One of the biggest things I'm having trouble with is SEO. I was trying to learn how to do some local SEO, however, so many websites say so many different things and at the end of the day, I'm even more confused than when I started.

I know that there are thousands of threads here teaching so many things. However, I would like to know from you guys, through personal experience, and be able to chat with you all, because I'm failing at even the most basic things and would like to know where I'm going wrong.

So far, I'm trying to start freelancing as a translator, just to raise some money for future projects. But the problem is: I can't get a single client. I've tried it all and no results. I would love to hear back from many you who may have possibly been in my shoes at some point.

Sorry if I'm asking for much. I feel guilty asking for help at times, being that I am a beginner and don't have much to bring to the table. However, if there is anything I can do to help anyone, feel free to fetch me a message at anytime.

Best regards,

Thiago
