Some of us become professional learners.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re stuck in a state of mad desire to get a business happening and complete inertia \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p>Well, here\u2019s the news folks.<\/p>\n<p>The riches are right in front of you. What you need to do (and I\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n<p>Doesn\u2019t matter whether it\u2019s Article Marketing, Video Marketing, Information Product Creation, Freelancing, Google Adwords or whatever. Every system works. There are people who<!--more--> exist in cyber space who have made money with every conceivable method that exists.<\/p>\n<h3>What made them successful?<\/h3>\n<h5 align=\"center\"><\/h5>\n<h4 align=\"center\">Having a plan.<\/h4>\n<h4 align=\"center\">Sticking to the plan.<\/h4>\n<h4 align=\"center\">Taking action.<\/h4>\n<p>So, let\u2019s get you moving.<\/p>\n<p>Here are my notes from watching a webinar by Robert Plank today. This is a PLAN, it\u2019s a METHOD and each action is DOABLE. You\u2019re going to need to find some time and headspace first.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Free up some time by not watching tv \u2013 catch up on Netflix or iTunes or record it and watch it later so you can flick through ads and save time<\/li>\n<li>Be aware of what your weak points are eg not planning your time or procrastinating. Work out a game plan to minimise their effect<\/li>\n<li>Improve your attitude<\/li>\n<li>Talk to yourself better\u00a0 stop wallowing and feeling sorry for yourself<\/li>\n<li>Focus on what makes you the most money right now or has the potential to and milk it for all it\u2019s worth<\/li>\n<li>Make a schedule to get things done. Have stuff transcribed, have autoresponders written and scheduled, etc<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Plan<\/p>\n<h3>ONE \u2013 Set yourself up financially<\/h3>\n<p>Step 1 \u2013 make sure you have at least one months income in the bank to reduce the stress. Get yourelf some freelancing gigs, whatever you can save, work at it<\/p>\n<p>Step 2 \u2013 if you have enough in the bank, reduce your debs, especially credit cards.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3 \u2013 save on a regular basis for taxes and super \u2013 put as much as you can into your retirement fund<\/p>\n<p>The idea is to put a solid cushion behind you to fall back on and reduce finanical issues going forward.<\/p>\n<h3>TWO \u2013 Start \u2013 <strong>Make a product<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Get good at something \u2013 be a transcriptionist, writing articles, losing weight, playing golf, whatever<\/li>\n<li>Read a book a week to educate your self where you\u2019re lacking knowledge<\/li>\n<li>Compile a report showing what you do eg a word document with some photos of your renovations before selling<\/li>\n<li>put together a 20-60 minute audio lesson explaining how to do it \u2013 real estate, hypnosis \u2013 there&#8217;s already lots out there but you can do it better<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>THREE \u2013 Get your <strong>funnel<\/strong> going<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>get an autoresponder, set up an optin page<\/li>\n<li>what is it converting at?\u00a0 make more forum posts to get more traffic<\/li>\n<li>do you have a 10 day follow up sequence? do your new subscribers see your blog posts, your report, your webpage, your sales letter<\/li>\n<li>if you don\u2019t have anything or can\u2019t put anything together, buy some pre-written content, get the rights to sell it and set up a sales page with an active buy button<\/li>\n<li>what\u2019s the sales letter convert at? how do you know? do you know? Make sure you let people know where to find the sales letter<\/li>\n<li>Set up an affiliate program so people can recommend people to your products and promote it for you<\/li>\n<li>if at this point you\u2019re making say $100 from freelancing, $500 from your day job and selling $300 products, then focus on the products. (Build a bigger list, put out more products, get more traffic etc)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>FOUR \u2013 Set up a <strong>coaching<\/strong> program<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>find someone you can work with to help them for free eg<\/li>\n<li>once you have them as a case study, this becomes version 2<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>FIVE \u2013 Extend<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>who is in your niche at your level and size to buddy up with?<\/li>\n<li>ask to interview them and tell your subscribers about them \u2013 builds the friendship with them<\/li>\n<li>contact one new person a day and figure out how you can talk to them for 20 min \u2013 becomes a bonus, a free offer for an opt-in<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>SIX \u2013 Repeat<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>At this point you should be making more money each month<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t need to get into new niche \u2013 you already have a passion and are getting paid to do something. Maximise it rather than let it die on the vine and move onto something untested and unproven<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>MINDSET<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Your marketing has to be meaningful- just sending out what everyone else is sending won\u2019t cut it<\/li>\n<li>Info products will always make money<\/li>\n<li>Pick your topics eg embroidery, scrapbooking, guitar lessons, self help, golf, weight loss,<\/li>\n<li>Find out what people are buying and check what competitors are doing<\/li>\n<li>Build the list, build the relationship, get more traffic, improve your sales letter \u2013 you can continue tweaking once it\u2019s all in place.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid the scarcity, blaming mentality. Have the idea of abundance \u2013 it\u2019s way more empowering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What if\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You could produce a report to sell @ $27 \u2013 sell one \u2013 that\u2019s one hour of work for $27; sell more than one and your hourly rate automatically increases for the same level of work<\/li>\n<li>You set up a Member site @ $97 per month per person\u00a0 \u2013 sell one a day \u2013 a much better ROI<\/li>\n<li>Get 30 members paying $97 per month \u2013 you just replaced your day job. You can then support your family or others, travel, pay more of your debt off, pay out your mortgage, retire earlier, have longer holidays. It all starts with a plan, commitment and action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What you can achieve<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>1.1 million words transcribed by others to produce<\/li>\n<li>write an article in 7 minutes or less<\/li>\n<li>turn one idea into 52 articles<\/li>\n<li>produce 50 x 5 minute videos in a\u00a0 day<\/li>\n<li>record 100 articles in a day<\/li>\n<li>produce a sales letter in one hour<\/li>\n<li>do a blog post in 15 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By doing these things faster you can produce more, build a list faster, get indexed faster, become an authority site.<\/p>\n<p>If what you are doing now is not working, then get yourself more productive. If you&#8217;re not now \u2013 and I guess you&#8217;re not, then grab this. It is a foolproof easy to apply system to get stuff done.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s 5 areas where you might be having issues<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>marketing your products<\/li>\n<li>managing your time<\/li>\n<li>writing articles<\/li>\n<li>creating content<\/li>\n<li>producing videos, products and traffic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, if you want to start getting results, start DOING.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Set a schedule<\/strong> for working on your Online Business DAILY \u2013 make it early in the morning for an hour or last thing at night \u2013 whatever works best for you but keep it as a commitment and try to keep the same time scheduled so you set up a routine<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write out a plan<\/strong> of what you will PRODUCE over the week and each day eg <em>This<\/em> <em>week I want to write a year\u2019s worth of blog posts and 20 Articles for Submitting to directories<\/em>. eg Tuesday I will write 12 blog posts on niche X.<\/li>\n<li>At the appointed time and date, clear your desk, clear your head and <strong>do the ONE THING<\/strong> you said you would do. Do it in one batch and get it done. DO NOT check email or forums or social media pages.
