Internet Marketing Is About Learning To Be Productive
There is an unwritten law in the internet marketing community that you have to appear to not do any work. Every salesletter I see tells me how the author only works 1 hour a day to generate six figures, or how your new profit pulling site will only take 30 minutes a day to maintain so you can sip pina coladas on a beach somewhere for the rest of the time.
Let me dispel that myth, you COULD maybe make some money like that if you get things set up right, but you would only make a limited amount of money and you need to put in hard work at the start to get it up and running (see ‘leverage’ later). The truth of the matter though is that every internet marketer I know works incredibly hard!
Sure we enjoy it, we have the freedom to do what we want during the day, miss days if we want, but it takes a lot of work to run an online business!
So it is imperative that you learn to be as productive as possible, this allows you make the most amount of progress in the shortest amount of time, and once you go full-time that means you make the most amount of money for your time!
Turn all your email alerts off, they just distract you, instead check your email every few hours and reply to everything then. Work in stints of one solid hour of work, then take a break from the screen, the come back for another hour, by focusing on just one thing at a time you will see an enormous increase in your productivity.
Try to ‘batch’ tasks as well, when you get into the frame of mind to say – write an article, then it is much easier to write 2 or 3 while you are in that frame of mind than to do one then move onto something else and come back. By learning to batch all your tasks you will be much more efficient.
Two more powerful techniques are a ‘to do’ list and a daily review. If you have a ‘to do’ list (like I have mine next to me now!) then you will have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and it will help to focus and drive you, it also shows progress when you tick off items on the list as you go along. Try to aim for just 3 or 4 things to finish per day, too many and you’ll start to be distracted by worrying about the rest, get those 3 – 4 done and then if you have free time you can start on something else.
A daily review of your progress will help to catch yourself out when you start to slack off, if you know you have been lazy one day then at the review you will hopefully feel guilty and this will drive you on to make up for it the next day. If you don’t have these reviews then you can find yourself goofing off for days at a time and that doesn’t make any money!
