Start Focusing Your Marketing Efforts

We All Start As A White Belt
Being a practitioner and fan of martial arts, I'll use "learning how to fight" as an example. If I were starting my first day as a white belt with no previous fighting experience, I cannot walk up to a black belt or UFC champion like Anderson Silva and expect to dominate. Before I can become a formidable opponent I must first learn to build a posture/stance. I then need to learn how to understand my balance and limits. Then I'll need to learn how to twist my hips and body for leverage and momentum. After that I can finally learn to throw a punch. Without knowing how to do each of these properly, my punch becomes a jumbled mess.

This concept can be applied directly into internet marketing.

1) Build A Posture/Stance - Don't just dive into the sea of internet marketing information. Don't think you can become an SEO expert, Social Media Expert, and Pay Per Click Expert all at the same time. Rather, choose one and start building a laser focus. Don't let your focus go off course even if you see a shiny new "Make Millions In One Hour" method. They are all distractions that hinder your success.

2) Understand Your Balance and Limits - Organize how much work and time you can commit to internet marketing. Know the limits of how much money and time you can invest. If you can invest money to save time, then do it - but only do it after carefully researching and understanding what you are buying.

3) Leverage and Momentum - Stay laser focused on your stance! Leverage your time properly. Utilize tools to keep you on task like Google Calanders and Google Docs. Imagine you are still at work and your boss said that you have to get a specific project done like building a niche site in 2 hours. If he told you to do that, would you still be playing around on Facebook or reading about other ways to build online fortune? No, you would be laser focused on getting that task done. If you set time limits on everything you do, I guarantee you will double or triple your productivity!

4) Throw A Punch - If you do the above steps you'll be throwing punches (making money) in no time. Congratulate yourself for a job well done!... But don't think you're able to compete with the best of the best yet. You need to learn how to perfect that punch of yours and learn variations as well. Once you're already making money, maybe you can start taking a peak at learning how to kick (a new method)

So what are you waiting for? Choose your stance and get to it!
