In last 6 months, if you haven’t
1. Turn your computers off – Most of us (so called internet marketers) spend way too much time in front of our computers doing almost nothing. We are always “In process” or “in creation” mode which gets done nothing. So switch your computer off for now.
2. Make a list of all things you have done so far and failed – Take out your pen and paper and make a list of all things you have done online whether they were successful or failed. It doesn’t matter, you need a list of things out there to get a real time understanding of the situation.
3. Reboot Yourself – John Reese talked about this few years ago. You write down everything related to you, your goals, your debt, your health, wealth, spiritual and get it out from your head on to the paper. It’ll get all the junk out of your mind and make it feel relaxed.
4. Fix and schedule your “Internet marketing” time – Schedule your internet marketing time. I got this idea from my fitness routine. Everyday when clock starts 5:55 pm, I automatically change my clothes and at 6:00 I start working out. This is a habit. Make your internet marketing a habit.
5. Save Your money to put it in business – Save your money to put it in the business. Do not think about buying products for now. Just save it, get a few extra jobs to get cash flow in the business. If you don’t treat your online business like a business, chances of your succeeding goes way low.
6. Make Your goal – how much action you take completely depends on your goal. If you fix your goal, schedule your time and start taking massive action, you’ll succeed. It’s about either doing it or not doing it at all. There is no middle road, only road kills, remember.
7. Understand which markets you can jump into – You cannot jump into every market you think are profitable. Answer completely honestly, Can you really survive in the market you chose? Can you answer to the readers, client’s question related to the market?
8. Understand your clientele or readers – It comes down to knowing your market profile. Like they say in marketing, “get in bed with your client”. You have to intimately know your market. You have to know their fears, their hope, their failures, their successes.
9. Develop relationships with everyone – It always comes down to who you are connected. Developing relationship with people will go long way. You need that elusive PR 7-8 link or may be get your product promo all over the web? Relationships with your readers, your friends, your business partners is going to help you.
10. Work, focus and then work some more – Time and time again, I’ve found there’s no substitute for hard work and focus. If you focus 100 percent on the task for next 60 minutes, you’ll get better results rather than spending 4 hrs with 80% focus.
Heck I personally belong to the list, who is likely to spend 5 hrs with 100% focus. Is it easy? heck no… Does it product result? Hell yes.
11. Make Your own product – Regardless of the monetization methods out there on internet, the fastest and surest way to make money online is to have a product. I have said it on this blog time and time again about this. If you are worried about your writing skills. Break the project down in small chunks.
12. Write your own blog – Starting your own blog is going to get connected with people. This is a platform where you’ll build relationships. This is a platform where you’ll find joint ventures. So get started.
13. Take a Break 1 day per week. Following from John reese’s reboot yourself theory. One thing I learned was that you need to reboot yourself regularly. Think of it as a computer. If you keep your computer on for 24/7 for next few weeks, how’ll it effect its performance?
Chances are it’ll slow down, programs may not work properly, even with the latest technology. Taking a break 1 day per week will allow you to gather yourself, gather your thoughts and get focused for the upcoming week.
14. In crunch offer services. When you are in financial crunch, you should not hesitate to offer your services. It’ll get you cash in the hand very quickly. There was time when I designed websites for peanuts. Remember, you are not supposed to supplement income this way for long term.
15. Only 3 things you need to remember in online business. Online marketing is simple. You only need to work on 3 steps.
- Find a market
- Create a product
- Promote he heck out of your product and website.
16. When you are overwhelmed, yell out loud, pound the boxing bag, do something physical – Your body demands physical attention. If you do not let it out, stress will kill you slowly. I workout and do martial arts. Some people do surfing. Some go out and play for neighborhood teams. Do something physical. Let the stress out.
17. Traffic is quite important, but don’t spam 1000 sites for that. – This one is simple, stop spamming your website to 1000 website. I know a webmaster (who is great friend) who literally opened account of 50+ forums on his market. Though he is still respectable member of that society, but we still remember it.
People have long term selective memory when they want to remember.
18. Don’t try to be everything to everyone. – I’ve personally tried to do it and failed. Trust me, if you do things certain way, people will talk and you can’t please everybody. So stop trying to be everything to everyone.
19. Don’t run after every new, shiny and loud objects. There are tons of marketing launches happening at any current moment. Do not get distracted. Do not run after every new thing.
This is a list of things or suggestions I’d give to anyone who haven’t achieved the success or the success they wanted. It does come from last 6 years of experience.
Article Writing tips – Use NLP to become a Better writer
Today, In this article, I am going to discuss how NLP can help you get more focussed and help you write better articles in no time at all. As the name NLP suggest (Neuoro Linguistic Programming), we are going to train you brain to spit out higher quality articles at faster rate. Now you might believe, it’s not possible but I am going to prove it is.
For example, Here is something I do regularly when I write article. I always start with Pen and paper and start outlining all the ideas that are in my head to write about. Why I do it?
Because it’s an anchor for my mind to let it know, that It’s time to write and get going. My unconcious part of the brain recoganizes this anchor and start firing out information about topics I want to write.
I use pen and paper because this is my habit of note taking from my high school. Though I was out of high school about 12 yrs ago, this habit of note taking still remains. If I can use such an old habit to turn my mind into article writing machine, can you imagine what you can do with your habits?
How to create this sort of anchor?
There are many ways to set this kind of anchor. First thing you have to do is find something you can use as an anchor (for me it’s my pen and diary).
One of my friend uses a Cap (which he calls a “thinking typing cap”). I used to believe my pen can absorb information (it’s crazy I know).
Now Use this anchor and state your intention aloud, “As I use this thinking typing cap, I’ll use it to write a 300 word article in 10 minutes”. Everytime you write an article, do this simple thing.
Use feeling that your cap is absorbing information and it’ll help you to write.
NLP is powerful tool, and it can set this kind of anchor in 1 time or about 3–4 times (it depends on your intention).
You can use anything to replace the or pen/diary. It has to be personal.
Now after you’ve built this anchor you need to use it daily to write. In a matter of week, you’ll find yourself writing far more than you can imagine yourself to write.
