how to be successful online

thesuccesscoach · 04-28-2009, 09:12 AM

just a short post but one i think is good lol i'm biased

Step 1
Define your goal - start with being realistic as to how much you believe you can earn, sure people say think big etc, but if you're down to your last dollar, 10,000 a month may be too unrealistic for you.
Chunk Down - once you have your big goal chunk down to smaller goals.

Example
I want to make 400$ a month selling ebooks.
That's 100$ a week
Assume you work 5 days a week, that's only $20 bucks a day - does not seem that difficult.

Step 2
Make a plan
Plan out what you need to do each day to achieve this figure. It may be list building, forum posting, research, developing your website.

Example
Week 1
Mondays - research topics
Tuesday - research markets
Wednesday - print out or save all your info
Thursday - begin to work thru the information
Friday - begin to write

Week 2
Monday - re-read your book what needs to be added
Tuesday - make changes
Wed - decide on a domain name
Thursday - purchase domain and hosting
Friday - Package your ebook

Week 3
Monday - find a template that you can use
Tuesday - tweak the template
Wed - upload the template
Thursday - brainstorm marketing ideas
Friday - check viability of marketing ideas

This can continue for 4 weeks, or you may do some steps quicker

Step 3
Stick to your plan - that's a simple step

Step 4
See what's working and what is not, make appropriate changes and stick to your plan.

Ok that's a simple overview but it is a start

To me the key problem for most is focus and motivation. You never know how close you are to success, so never give up, however keep changing and tweaking your plan if it's not working as you expected

Hope that helps

Great write up!

A person also must have the right mind set. For instance, if he is always self sabotaging, then there is a part of his unconscious mind that prevents his success. This have to be taken care of to free the imprisonment.

Once that part is in agreement with the whole, than you will see him/her soar.

thanks yes sorry that was under goals, but it was a short post

GoGreenGo · 04-28-2009, 05:37 PM

That was a great article! Thanks for posting it! I think some people don't get that you have to start small and work up from there. It takes persistance and it pays off in the long run!

robertstr · 04-28-2009, 08:19 PM

Thanks for your fully detailed article.I thinks a writer needs to pay attention what he/she will do. The important is putting his/her right mind. Patience is the keyword to access the success.

BloomerBeak · 04-28-2009, 08:38 PM

So easy to say, so hard to do. Nonetheless, if you're persistent enough, and stick to your gameplan, everything will work out.

Thanks for the post. ^_^

It's not easy to make enough online to replace your current job.

Yes, it's not easy, but I for one believe...

--- I'd rather have a hard time building an online business by:

a) carefully studying relevant factors that can affect my business;

b) developing ways and means to control those factors to the advantage of my business;

c) expanding my business to new target markets;

d) investing my business profits in profitable investments (i.e. real estate, oil, gold, etc.); and

e) using my business and investment profits to start new businesses operating in industries with factors I can control to my advantage...

...than...

--- build the foundations of my family's financial security around the whims of my employer who can all of a sudden not care to control all or some relevant factors affecting the stability and growth of the company because...

...my employer doesn't like the color of his admin employees' eyes (among a long list of subjective reasons) so decides to...

...file for bankcruptcy, and...

...I depend my family's temporary financial security on the relevant welfare programs of a government indebted to global financial institutions with billions used for the same set of welfare programs while I look for another job and brace myself to continue repeating the same process over and over again.

I firmly believe stable financial security won't come to me if I choose the latter over the former because...

...for me, it's all about --- the amount of control one has and can continue to gain.

Where is the STAND UP AND APPLAUD button on this computer?

Now that's keeping it real! Thanks!

Wonderful post, however I think that there may be a bit more to step 3. Staying focused and sticking to your plan is often very difficult, at least for me it is. Of course this brings up the subject of setting goals and keeping them, which has been discussed in many posts before. If anyone has any hints for achieving this I'd love to hear them.

Thanks thesuccesscoach for posting this.

i would say to start selling other peoples products as an affiliate first for a little bit until you get the hang of it and then develop your own and go from there.

I bet he got that idea off ShoeMoney or one of the other big name scammers er, bloggers.

Anyways, I know the thread is about success and that so I'll add my two cents instead ending on a negative note.

I think that sticking to your plan is indeed an important key. And I'd be the first to admit that I'm probably in need of this advice possibly more than anyone here. Shed distractions as much as possible. Take a look at Anik's desk at the Launch Tree website. Nothing but the essentials. That can be symbolic of so much other 'fat' around our lives to distract us.

For focus check out Simpleology 101. (Google will point the way).

What's the quickest way from point 'A' to point 'B'?

Answer: A straight line.

Focus is the 'straight line'.

One of the way to be successful online these days is to register with free business directories.

One of the business directory i can suggest you to www . o2directory . com
Its free, Simple and easy.

This is an global business directory, you will not only get a chance to reach the local market but the international market aswell.

good step by step work plan, but the work, I think, is not that easy at all.
