How To Be Productive in an Online Business

    frosting-182849_640Imagine you were a baker.

    A baker needs to make cakes and pastries to sell as product.

    If no product is on the cake stand or in the shop window, it’s going to be hard to sell anything.

    Especially, if your ‘product idea’ is a lot of raw material all neatly stacked where it needs to be. Or maybe you’ve managed to put some of your raw materials together in readiness for launching your cake product. Maybe you’ve mixed some of the recipe but get distracted and never finish one cake before you pop across and play with another stack of raw materials.  Perhaps you’ve actually got some biscuits in the oven ready to cook but forgot you had them in there.

    You’re busy, but you’re just not producing anything saleable!

    Sound familiar?

    A lot of internet marketers are busy, They’re doing things. Just not necessarily the right things. Being productive is about producing!

    Is Someone Stealing Your Content?

      Some internet marketing businesses are ignorant and some are just unethical. Most are very good or excellent. At some point in time, you are likely to find your content served up on someone else’s site. It’s annoying, even infuriating, especially if you’ve taken the trouble to produce good quality content and have standards about how you want your work to be perceived only to find it appearing on an ad site or a spam site.

      Take Control of Your Content

        One of the big issues I’ve had with owning sites and blogs is continually adding content and keeping it fresh.

        First I’d create my own posts but my publishing was quite erratic. I’d post a few things one day then nothing for a few days and then eventually nothing for weeks on end. My blog effectively ‘died’.

        I then tried a few different automated content fillers. Ones where the tool would grab content from other sites and post it to my site. That worked in keeping fresh content coming to my blog. What I found though was the feeds were unreliable in terms of the type of information they would post.

        Next I tried joining SEOLinkvine – you sign up, tell it the kind of topics you want articles on. Other people write articles on their topics and SEOLinkine basically matches what you want with what othersRead More »Take Control of Your Content

          Secrets of Online Marketing – Part 1

            There are lots of people who have been working at online marketing (aka internet marketing) and have become jaded by the stories they hear of fabulous riches lying just at the end of your mouse making money while you sleep or play in the sun in Acapulco. 

            020416_1442_0018_nsmsHow true is it that people actually make a good living let alone a millionaire lifestyle from marketing on the internet?

            The secret seems to be that yes, it does happen. But just like every copy boy can not become Rupert Murdoch or every every country girl become a Governor General like Quentin Bryce, not every person on the internet can make it to the top of the earning pyramid.

            What can you do to even get half-way or quarter way up the pyramid?
