How Much Do You Repurpose Content?

    I’ve just been going through my files and found a bunch of product I had created … and forgot about!

    IN thinking about my content I also realised I pretty much don’t follow my own advice, embarrassingly enough.

    When I reflect on what I produce I use it maybe one o three times each in different platforms. Usually it will be a blog post and maybe I’ll then repurpose that as a tweet or a Facebook post and perhaps a graphic for Pinterest.

    My reflection also made me realise I’d abandoned my editorial calendar and had taken to spontaneous posting both in terms of content and timing.

    Not clever.

    Not recommended.

    Dumb.

    So, I am starting to think about Angel reinstituting my editorial calendar as well as building into it a repurposing checklist. Of course, I won’t just think about it, I will schedule in to do it … soon!

    How To Be More Productive, Part 2

      Last time, we talked about the 4 Things Theory and how to apply that. It’s based on the premise that if you focus on doing 4 specific things a day that move you forward then you will progress more easily.

      There are, however, times when you need to do more than the 4 things. There are regular tasks that need to be done, like your annual tax return, that won’t go away and must be completed. Today we continue my notes from a talk by Helen Raptoplous.

      1. Take time to make a list of what you need to do consistently to move forward. Set up a schedule to make sure they get done.

      How To Keep Organized – 5 Tips

        One of the nightmares of the online digital world is the sheer volume of “stuff”. That stuff could be your own products that you’ve created. It might be PLR that you intend to rewrite and use. Maybe courses, Webinars or teleseminars you’ve attended. Reports, bonuses, and a plethora of freebies and giveaways. I’m sure there’s more!

        If you are diligent and highly methodical, as you download something you file it to its right place. If you’re less so, it gets dumped into an “I’ll get back to that later” folder and later never comes. Before you know it gigabytes have been swallowed by your lack of systematic administration.

        I’m no saint here: my drives (that’s plural) are full of stuff that I plan to do something with … if only I remembered that I had it before I downloaded it again, or can find it again! My drives are in dire need ofRead More »How To Keep Organized – 5 Tips

        How To Really Get Your IM Business Rocking

          A lot of the time, people at the starting or bottom end of the internet marketing online business chain are not doing much but learning. Some of us become professional learners.

          We’re stuck in a state of mad desire to get a business happening and complete inertia – the more you learn the more confused you become and the more you realise there is to learn. We flick from forum to website to article in search of the Holy Grail that will lead us to internet riches.

          Well, here’s the news folks.

          The riches are right in front of you. What you need to do (and I’m talking to myself here as well!) is to buckle down, have a plan and stick to it until you get results. Then continue working it.

          Doesn’t matter whether it’s Article Marketing, Video Marketing, Information Product Creation, Freelancing, Google Adwords or whatever. Every system works. There are people whoRead More »How To Really Get Your IM Business Rocking

          Practice Makes Perfect: Get Habitual Results

            I run development programs with people who are looking to get more from their life. One thing people often say to me is, “I need to get results fast!”. I then ask them how long they’ve been living with this issue/problem/concern. Usually the answer is “years”. So it’s kind of unrealistic to expect instant results, don’t you think? Lots of people promise just that. What I can tell you after three decades in the people development industry is this: sustainable change on a personal level only comes about through changing your patterns of behaviour: your habitual ways of thinking, doing,… Read More »Practice Makes Perfect: Get Habitual Results

            How Do You Keep Going?

              Today, I’m tired. When I’m tired, everything seems so hard. Trying to juggle my normal business, my compliance issues, my health issues, my web assets and building my online systems … it’s hard to keep all the balls in the air. And I don’t even have a family I need to look after! How do you pick yourself up? How do you maintain momentum in getting things done for your online business?
