What Is The One Thing You Discovered You Have Been Doing Wrong All Along?

Hi Todd

My biggest 'do it wrong thing' was to have too many projects on the go at the
same time, which meant working really hard and achieving 'not so much'.

I now only work on one project at a time.

The second thing I realised was that I should not use the usual IM tactics to sell into IM but sell into another niche....I chose golf and haven't looked back

Cheers

Um, spending too much time on this here forums rather than working on my site?

*smack*

Focus.
It is not easy as I think.
I had joined some forums, purchased some expensive ebooks, read hundred Guru's blogs and have thousand ideas in my mind but there is no result because I never implement it 100%.That's because I'm "too busy" wasting my time and money and to find shortcut to success. But I never found it. Because there is no shortcut to success.
It is a simple but powerful tips for newbie:
be focus in one field. set the target.success.

it was a year ago, but basically it was just thinking about the money, and not helping out my customers and visitors

Not Testing!

I have only been a member of this forum for a year.
Before then I never really heard much about testing options.
I would just create or sell something an watch if it sold or not.
I was confident I did everything right.
I guess I kinda had the mentality of an eBay seller.
This forum Rocks!

Great marketing beats a great product or service. I use to spend little on PPC, but no more. To sell well you need exposure.

Reading and not implementing.. I read almost every WSO i've seen.

Today I made over 10 money sites. I didn't evne have to research the keyword, just picked 10 affiliate marketing campaigns and took traffic from people. great day.

Then i read the 30 info products in 30 days, so i made a few.
Then i spun every WSO i ever read into a course and sought venture capital.

Now i travel for fun

Really I did 2 things wrong for awhile, and if I had done these things right when I started in this business 2 years ago I may be sitting on a beach somewhere making 30K/month.

1. Don't just blindly submit articles to article directories. There are so many other ways that you can leverage just one piece of content, and drive a ton of traffic in the process. You can place these articles on document sharing websites, convert them to Powerpoint slides and submit them to slideshare.net and other sites, and of course use them on your own blog. You don't have to write 20 articles a day to be successful, in fact you will probably burn out!

2. Build a list. Building a list has taken my business to new heights in a very short period of time. By building a list, you are creating a huge advantage over the vast majority of your competition. Do you know what happens when you have a list of 5,000 targeted prospects? If you manage your list well and provide value, it means that with each mailing you should be able to send 1,000+ visitors to any offer you desire. An easy source of targeted traffic!

Leverage your content effectively, and build a targeted email list!

Not blogging. I have been begged to do it for 3 years now. I fought it. Literally went kicking and screaming. Now... I finally am.

And it's amazing. I love being able to communicate with my clients, other copywriters, students. I'm seriously hooked.

Focusing on too many things at once and not providing quality was my biggest problem.

Quality beats quantity every time I have found.

Now we work on only one website at a time and only on a handful of pages at any one time.

Listening to Gurus.
