Newbies: Stop playing around and take it seriously... Here is how to do it in 2013

13 replies
It's Christmas time, so I decided to share 3 tips and 2 tools of mine here that are very simple but also very effective. I hope you like them!


If 2012 was bad year for you and you couldn't achieve your goals, you need to do something different in 2013, or in 365 days from now you will be facing the same frustration.

Method, method, method... People are always looking for an efficient method, but forget about something: the mindset. The first step to become a successful internet marketer is to think as a successful internet marketer.

No method will be effective for you if you don't get organized and treat internet marketing as a real business.

But I'm sure you have already heard this bla bla bla a thousand times, so let's stop with the theory and go to the practice.

Below are a few tips that can help you get organized and start working as a professional internet marketer in 2013.


1. ORGANIZE YOUR PROJECTS

We talk a lot about staying focused on one thing. Well, if you organize your projects it will be easy, natural.

Organizing your projects is basically defining exactly what you will be working on along the next year. Are you going to work with PPC? PPV? SEO?

Also, you can define specific tasks to accomplish and establish a deadline for each one so that you keep focused and know what and when you're supposed to do.

Here is a link for you to download a spreadsheet that will help you organize your projects.


Organizing your projects will also prevent you from spending hundreds of dollars on random products and trying many different methods without getting consistent results with any of them.


2. SET YOUR GOALS

How can you shoot something without aiming?

If you want to get consistent results you need to have your goals clear in your mind. Create a list with your goals and focus on results.

The goals don't necessarily need to be related to your income, they can be things like buying a car, finding your first profitable campaign, etc... But they need to be clear, something specific, nothing too broad such as making money online or becoming a successful marketer.


3. CONTROL YOUR MONEY


If you want to make money, it's essential for you to be able to control your money. You need to know exactly how much you're spending and how much you're earning so that you can control your profits and investments.

I also have a spreadsheet that I use to control the money I make and spend on my campaigns. You can download it below and use it for your campaigns as well:



In 2013, use the spreadsheets and implement the 3 tips above. I'm sure that your internet marketing business will become more professional and a lot more productive after you get organized.

If you have any questions, just post them here and I'll do my best to help you.


Merry Christmas!

William

    Absolutely. Newbies are so busy looking for the short cut or cutting edge, shiniest object that they do not go back to the basics that they all should. (Like having a todo list and tracking expenses.)

      Yes, the concepts are pretty basic, but many people ignore them.

    Ha! Ha! It's shame me too much because I never have any sheets to record my projects, plans, and expenses. I always keep it in my head memories, but who know it is mixed up and sometimes lost.
    Thanks for your mindset and files!

    William,

    Love your list. It seems that many people would simply prefer to blindly throw darts at the board and hope they hit a big number. Success online takes a consistent strategy implemented and tracked daily. --TP

    Great share William. Without proper planning, setting goals and keeping a record of daily tasks on an excel spread sheet are essential for success.

    Newbies do suffer from info overload and running after shiny objects. I know as I went through the same problems and wish I had this sort of advice then.

      Yep, the old shiny element syndrome that prevents people from staying focused and achieving their goals. Proper organization is the best way to get rid of this problem.
