The main reason that people fail at internet marketing is because they never take action OR they do not sustain focused action. If you have never heard it then you may have experienced it. There are a number of reasons that this lack of action or sustained action takes place.
Sometimes it simply information overload. The fact that there is so much information on a topic that a person just doesn't know where or even how to begin. They look at everything that is involved in getting started and become overwhelmed at the immensity of it all. Hopefully this article will help you see that you can achieve internet marketing success in just 5 days. (5 days at a time that is)
I am going to give you the plan that I use to help me keep on track and stay focused. I freely admit that I think I am a little A.D.D. because I like to have multiple projects going on at the same time. However, if you are just starting out I would not suggest this.
I would work out a plan similar to mine but stay on one project until you have it completed. Once you have completed your first project you will be on top of the world, even if you never make a penny, simply because you FINALLY completed something. That is the goal - complete a project!
The key to my 5 day plan is to divide up the large tasks into manageable chunks and then complete one chunk at a time. When you do this you feel a sense of achievement and you will eventually begin to see real results.
Below I have outlined some common tasks that many internet marketers are involved in daily or at least regularly. You can use this list as a starting point and adjust it for your own business.
* Create a blog post. If you have more than one blog you can take one day out of your week and create numerous articles that can be "dripped" into the blogs you have.
* Comment on other people's blogs to create back links to your sites.
* Be an active member of forums for your niche. This allows you to make friends, help others, meet possible future JV partners, and by using a signature you can also gain valuable back links to your site.
* Write an article and submit it to an article site.
* Create messages for an autoresponder list.
* Research/review products on Clickbank or other affiliate sites so you can review or promote those products on your own site.
* Create a video promoting a product that you have created or are promoting. It could be an informational video as well that adds value to your own site. Not everything has to be about selling.
* Submit your sites to social bookmarking sites. This should be done for EVERY post or article you create and do it as soon as you are done so you don't forget.
* Write down or record everything that you think of during the day. As you are doing these internet marketing related tasks your mind will be working and coming up with new ideas or better ways of doing things.
* Write one page of a product you're currently creating.
* Update your status on social sites like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc.
* Write a short report that can be given away.
* Read something that will help you succeed (not a sales letter for the newest product out there)
* Review and organize the massive amount of material you have collected on your computer.
Once you have completed the list of things you need to get done for your business, take and make a daily list of tasks to get done. Be sure it is achieveable. Don't put more on the list than you can actually get done each day. Set your list up for the next 5 days. By writing down all your tasks for the week you will help ensure that you see the big picture as well as the individual pieces of that picture.
If you are able to get all your tasks done each day and you want to start on the next day's list that's fine but don't burn yourself out. Allow yourself time to relax and rejuvenate so you have the stamina to continue all week, every week.
I suggest that you track your list and the completion of your tasks. This will help you see just how much you are getting done and keep you on track so that everything that needs to get done actually does. You will also see your project progress to the point of completion which will help motivate you to continue.
That's it! Create a simple daily task list (to do list) and make it for 5 days in advance.
Make a plan to follow and then follow your plan!
To see how this can really set you up for success let's evaluate some of the tasks you completed and the results after just 6 months of effort.
* 1 article per day submitted to an article directory = 120 articles which means 120 back links to your site and who knows how much traffic will be driven to your site because of those articles.
* 1 blog post per day = 120 blog posts which builds content that we know Google and the other search engines love. Not to mention you are building up a following and if you have created an opt-in list then you are also creating future sales.
* Create 1 full product per month = 6 products of your own that you can keep 100% of the money for each sale or use affiliates to sell your product and bring in even more revenue.
* Find 2 products per month to review/promote on Clickbank or another affiliate site = 12 products that can be promoted via your blog, website or customer list.
* Comment on 3 blogs per day = 360 comments which equals 360 links back to your site. You are now learning how to drive some traffic.
Do you see how these little chunks can add up to big time traffic and sales? This business is not difficult. It just requires a little discipline, focus and time.
