I Need Efficiency and Focus! Help!

Jaredweaver11 · 11-20-2009, 09:08 AM

Hello Friends,

I just want to say that I am a complete newbie that gets the concept of internet marketing. I am starting to wrap my head around Keyword Research, Niche finding, Squidoo, Ezine Articles, Wordpress and other stuff.

I need help to work more efficiently and quickly. By this, I mean that I need some guidance as far as tools, work plans, etc. Should I bother with Squidoo? Should I just focus on Ezine Articles? Are wordpress blogs the way to go? Wordpress goldmine? One week marketing?

What free or purchased tools (article writers, article submitters, niche finders, etc.) are best and easiest to use?

Especially article rewriters because I feel that all this writing for squidoo, ezine articles, blogs is going to kill me. Am I missing something?

Please give me some direction and plans as to how to work more efficiently and faster.

Thank You,
Jaredweaver11

You need to define a goal first. What are you trying to accomplish? And be more specific than "make money".

Here are my recommendations:

Stay away from any writing software. I'm not too crazy about submission software, either.

Outsource the time-consuming, repetitive tasks such as submissions.

Learn to spin articles well (thoroughly, logically, etc.) to get more mileage out of your writing efforts.

Worry about doing it right rather than fast the first couple times through. Efficiency will come with time.

Take enough breaks to stay fresh, because you'll be more efficient in the long run.

If you find yourself no longer enjoying what you're doing, pay someone else to do that task.

mass article control and mass article submitter are ones that I use

Why not consider getting yourself a virtual assistant? It can save you more time, have her work on the tedious side of your marketing like traffic generation, building backlinks, squidoo lenses, article submissions, etc.

You'll save time, plus you can focus more on your core business. Hope this helps.

Your thinking of many things. Focus on what's important for you to do and let the other tasks be done by somebody else.

1. I've never found an article rewriter worth using. They produce nothing but garbage to the human eye IMO! Write them yourself until you can outsource.

2. Dont over complicate things. Pick something and run with it. Avoid information overload.

3. Write down your goals, define a plan to reach those goals, follow thru.

I think everyone here has already given you some great ways to improve your focus. As for efficiency the number one thing that I feel has helped me is to get my typing speed up to around 80 words a minute. You'll be surprised how much time you gain when you type 20% faster.

The best way I found to do this was with Mavis Beacon teaches typing for 20 minutes a day. I am still shooting to get my typing speed to 100 words per minute.

I think wordpress is a good choice for you.It can help you be familiar with some related knowledge on website.I mean you can use it to leran those things associated with a website building or modification or updation and etc...First you'd better form a good basis.

You need to define very clear goals for yourself first, as the no. 1 problem many newbies have is ADD and information overload. In addition, this resource will also help - search for Brad Gosse's free focus and concentration MP3 here. I know many people will be tempted to dismiss this as hogwash, but just give it a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how much more productive you'll become.

There are numerous methods that can be used to do the "mechanical" portions of internet marketing. So many that trying to grasp all of them, let alone master many of them in a short period of time is "mind scrambling".

Try starting by writing a rough plan of your goals. Then add possible methods to accomplish them.
I usually lay out my site and a site map on a "white board", dry markers.
Then put it where I can see it from the computer. Helps to maintain focus on the project and helps the memory.
Works great for me.
