Focusing to Make Money Online

Posted by: admin Post date: February 17th, 2011

This article is part of the Niche Marketing Series.

The problem that I have and I know that a lot of people have is the inability to focus and hone in on one thing that will make them money. We buy the next product thinking that that is the magic bullet. The end all cure all. Guess what? It doesn’t exist.

There are dozens and even hundreds of products out there that will help you, but you need to focus on one area at a time, and move on from there. One idea that works is using a barometer, like how much you would like to make from a particular site or project. One of the most influential books I ever read on “productivity” is 5 Bucks a Day by Dennis Becker.

The goal in “5 Bucks a Day” is to work on projects that earn you, you guessed it, 5 bucks in one day. You might question and even think that 5 bucks a day will get you nowhere, but think about it this way. If you have a list of 10 projects, each taking you a defined amount of time to complete, and if they all produced just 5 bucks a day, then you would have added over $18,000 in yearly income from just those projects alone. Can you see the math?

Working on projects that are closely related to each other, will feed off each other and create more returns.
For example, instead of working on different niches, work on one sure niche that you know will return profits.

It’s tough to focus, at least for me, on the things that I know work. Article marketing works, but it’s with great pain that I write. Actually, I love writing, it’s starting to write that’s the problem. As an member here for years, you can see that my article output is abysmal, but that’s okay, because, I make money other ways.

Personally, I’ve been successful with niche marketing and creating products. I’ve been miserable at article marketing and this article is an attempt by me to change that. I’m challenging myself to write 50 articles in 100 days.

My goal is simple, I want to add people to my list, help them move towards their goals by pointing them in the right direction for them.

There are many ways to make an online income, and quickly finding the best fit for you, and then focusing on that route is the quickest way to achieving your online goals.

Five Bucks a Day is a must read, that helps you to improve your productivity and primes you on some of the fastest ways to make money online, and I would like you to get a free copy, by checking filling in your name below.

Magic of Thinking Big Notes

Posted by: admin Post date: May 24th, 2010

Here are some thoughts I have on The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz. I’ve had this book lying around my home for years, but only after I saw it recommended by  Steve Goltiao, of Ad Inflitration, whom I highly respect, did I start to read this book.

The main thought behind chapter 1 is this:  believe you can succeed and you will. Your mind is simply a thought factory, he calls it Mr. Triumph and Mr. Defeat. They are the two bosses who run our minds or “information bank”. It’s up to us to decide who we are going to summon.

When we have problems we rely on past problems to help us deal with the new issues. How we have though about things in the past, is how we’ll think about future issues. By resolving to think positive, we build up a store of positive thoughts that will help us to overcome problems and issues that arise.

Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. BELIEVE BIG!
