I'm an internet marketer just like you are, so I know how crazy
things can get. Trying trying trying for better page rank, all
the time. Emails flying in from everywhere and you just can't
keep up. Juicy network posts distracting you again. Server
trouble, client rush jobs... and uhh... what was it that you had
planned to do today? Following are Five Critical Steps You Can
Take Right Now to get on the path to better productivity,
laser-focused marketing and more PROFIT.
1. Train Your Brain to Think Mostly Marketing Thoughts.
I get so upset when I see my friends digressing again and again
on their blogs and in their emails. That's because I know that
with every non-selling focused piece of content they produce,
they just wasted at LEAST an hour writing pointless copy, and
then probably two more hours responding to the onslaught of
reactions they got. You MUST focus your mind if you want to get
ahead in this industry. When I meet marketers who are able to
stay 90% on track with room for a wee bit of fun, I smile to
myself because it's my goal to be just like them, always. It
should be yours as well!
2. Look for the Golden Opportunity No Matter How Crappy Things
Seem.
Another thing that can majorly throw you off course:
disappointment. What happened today that got you down, and what
did you do? Instead of dwelling on the negative and complaining
to people, train yourself to take immediate corrective action.
Didn't land that job contract? Pick up where you left off in
your article marketing campaign. Server keeps crashing? Log off,
step back and devote 20 minutes of your attention to the email
marketing campaign you said you were going to write. When you
feel scattered, it's because you are scattered. Take some time
to regroup and then streamline your effort toward getting six
new tasks that you WILL accomplish today.
3. Be Slick About Where You Put Your Existing Content.
Let's suppose you have a plan to release 20 new articles, send
an e-book of brand new content to your subscribers twice this
month, and post in your blog at least twice a week. In what
order will you set out to accomplish these tasks for the least
amount of work for you? Do this: write ten fresh articles, pack
them up in an e-book BEFORE you distribute them to the article
websites, and send to your subscribers with an alert about
"never before released info!" Once the excitement dies down, use
the same ten articles to post on the web everywhere you can.
Choose a few from the pile and post to your blog. Repeat the
procedure for the next ten. You just saved yourself a bundle of
time.
