When I first started trying to make money online, I was jumping around from one thing to another. I was trying to latch onto anything I could that would make me an income. Aside from the fact that this was totally against the rule of focusing on one thing, this was totally killing any kind of routine that I was hoping to establish. Each day was an adventure. One day I’d wake up and start posting a ton of FFA ads and the next day I’d start working on a web site that never got finished. I was a total mess.
Then it all changed overnight.
I found Secrets of the Big Dogs. It was an advertising system that was very well structured itself. This made it easy for me to get into a routine since the system consisted of about 12 different advertising resources. So each day I’d get up and go to each resource, one at a time and place my ad. After I was done with all the resources, I then worked on my ads for the next day.
After I finished doing all that, the next step was to track my clicks and sales for the day and see which resource was giving me the most traffic. Then I’d check to make sure that all the resources were functioning properly and if not, I’d contact the site owner.
There were other things involved in my day but the point is, as I began to do this more and more, because I was in a routine, I was getting faster and better at it. This allowed me to do more things in my day and actually add to my routine. I added additional advertising resources and thus increased my income.
I can’t stress this enough. If you don’t get into a routine, you can’t run an efficient internet business. The problem for most people is getting into that routine. Well, there is a very simple way to do this, though it does take some discipline.
What you need to do is this. At the end of each day, make a schedule for what you plan to do for the next day. Put numbers next to each item in order from first to last. Don’t move onto the next item until you have completed the item that you’re working on.
If you find that you’ve scheduled too many items for the day, cut back on a few things. Just make sure that you focus on the things that are most important. What are the most important items? The most important items are the ones that DIRECTLY add to your income. All other things are secondary.
If you’ve never been in a routine before, it’s not easy. But once you get into the swing of it, you’ll find that your day becomes disjointed if you don’t stick to that routine. Yes, eventually it DOES become habit.
That’s when you’re on your way to running a successful internet business.
