This Is One Thing I'm Doing Different In 2013...

I agree with your idea about system.

My system is easy.

1. Set product, website and all things that essential for my business.
2. Create get traffic plan.
3. Take action
4. If in one week, i have poor result, i change my traffic plan.

Being more specific than a system, a plan of action. So many people say "okay I'm going to do some backlinking today". They may spend hours throwing their link all over the place but won't be making efficient use of their time.

You want to plan your time. "I'm going to do abc for 3 hours and then at 12:30, I'm going to do xyz". And stick to it!

I'm actually fleshing out my planned system right now. I'm creating a mind-map to show the different steps I need to to take.

I benefited greatly from a webinar that Roger and Barry put on this week showing how they built their business. After seeing that, it made perfect sense.

Tride and true mehtods that have always worked and still works. A lot of the old school business practices still work in today's digital world.

Ya also need to recognize when it's time to stop, regroup, and change direction when a plan is not working. There is so many ways to make money online (cliché!).

A great post good luck with 2013.

the new year is just one day. best is to look back and change direction if necessary every week. good luck in 2013

Awesome thinking. Once a person starts thinking systematically, the growth of a certain niche will certainly be going nowhere but up. Thank you for sharing, as I might implement this systematical way of improvement to myself.

Why wait until 2013? I would start working now

hmm I'm not sure yet, I do make monthly goals.

But I'm going to make 2013 a big year for sure!

Yup! Definitely have everything automated and outsourced so I dont have to worry about my business so much but still profit a lot off of it.

Well good luck for 2013.

Just make sure that enthusiasm is still as strong on Feb 11th....March 13th and June 26th when the evaluation of a previous year starts to fade. Keep that system alive and why not keep us updated .....maybe we can keep you on track??

Great to hear you are going for it though! Keep it up

All the best

Thank you. You can be the best (fill in the blanks) but if you don't have a system, you can't persist and you can't be consistent. It's all about system building and SUSTAINABILITY.

oooh oleskool, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who gets hung up on 'easy' tech stuff. Bought that cover maker pro that was on special here a while ago and couldn't get it to show the right hand toolbar. Then my son came home and adjusted the size of everything on the screen and hey presto! it now works. Love dem geek sons, lol

Writing out your processes is very illuminating. You can then see what needs to be cut out and improved.

The real key, which I've had a lot of trouble with, is getting yourself out of the business.

Dexx has a high-quality WSO about systemizing your business.

Im planning to wake up earlier instead of starting at 9am, start at 8am instead. 1 hr less sleep but hopefully it will bring more fruitful results.

I definately have systems in place. Systems and processes are what allow me to produce repeatable results, and are what allowed me to take myself out of my business.

One thing when you start setting up your systems and processes is there will be actions that are one-off actions, or actions that you only do once, for example, download Roboform softare. That is a one off action. Those are actions that you don't need to create systems out of (obviously) but you do want to track those on a to-do list of some sort.


And then you will have repeatable actions that you will do over and over again, for example, uploading videos to youtube.

When you upload a video to youtube you go through the same process again and again, and again. For those what I done was put those kind of repeatable actions into a checklist.

Also what you will find is when you have repeatable actions, they usually are in a group, sometimes a group of 3 - 8 action steps.

So looking at uploading a youtube video, you want to make sure you have your keywords, fill in the description, add any links, add annotations for your video, etc. Those group of actions will form your "Upload Youtube Video Checklist"

Then the next time you upload a video you just pull out that checklist and quickly get it done. And even better is when you start hiring outsourcers you just give them the checklist and tell them to follow it step by step and that is how they upload your videos to youtube.

And that is how you start to take yourself out of your business. Now you have your outsourcers uploading your videos to youtube and you don't have to do that.

So you want to find as many of these areas in your business where there are repeatable actions that you can put into a checklist, or a process list and these become your systems.

And the more of those you have, the more parts or systems of your business you can hand off to an outsourcer.

If you haven't done so, I would recommend that you pick up Michael Gerber's book "The Emyth Revisited"

It is such a great book on how to setup systems, and how to setup your business so it can run without you.

When you don't know what your doing its hard to follow a system, I bet most of the people on here don't follow any type of system.

If you are trying to be efficient you always need to have a system in place and break things down in small, manageable parts that can be passed on to somebody to save time elsewhere in your day to day activities.

Yes I guess it's going to be a good decision for being consistent. I think that's what I'm also going to do in this business, stick to just one process. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Reg,

Hopefully 2013 year would be our year...

My dad always use to tell me ... Only those people can become rich in life who can make systems. Once you know how to make a system, there is no stopping you..

In 2013 I plan on not getting distracted, and follow one system/modal.... I have started working on the system now...

Lets hope we can stay focussed....

thanks

I'm always evolving my system. The system that I have in place is to always be evolving my system until I reach continued success.

Congratulations for understanding that you need a perfect business plan if you want to succeed online. It really is indispensable if you don’t want to waste time and money without having the results you desire.

I created a simple business plan for my business, and it seems to be working fine.

I’m giving more information and detailed explanations to the public instead of repeating many things and instead of giving only a brief idea of my work.

My field is totally different from internet marketing, while I was imitating the behavior of internet marketers, thinking that this behavior was ‘necessary’.

So, in 2013 I will follow my own original business plan, which was created based on my experience working online for six years and fits with my business, instead of following the plans I was following before, which were made for other types of businesses.

Thanks for all the responses and feedback! Now let's go forward and do great things. 2013, BRING IT ON!!!

I have a system in place. The same system that i'm running now will be amplified times 3 next year. Will have a MAJOR and INCREDIBLE breakthrough.

My system is simple and works for.. I don't go for perfection because i never start or finish when i go for it, i simply take action and tweak as i go.. Action is my system..

Good luck in 2013!

That is my motto for 2013 as well. i have been all over the place trying too many different things. I need to settle down get organized and get a workable sytem in place. Good luck to ya!

I will tell you what my system is going to be for 2013.

I am already having success with a company called Empower Network.

Instead of promoting a few programs at a time, I am going to send all my visitors to a web page that will talk only about that program only. When I reach a curtain monthly income, I will then add more programs to my site and build more residual income.

I will not give my website visitors at this time.

2013 will be my year to breakthrough and earn more then $10,000 per month in residual income. I am putting all this out to the universe so that it knows what my intentions are.

For 2013:

I have 3 plans for online business:
1. e-commerce - in my country
2. building a list and keep blogging for "internet marketing" niche
3. marketing affiliate products through SEO in Google

yeah definately..it is one of the best method to get success in any field....you have to make plans and try to stick with it...every plan has it's loop holes...so you have to ready with your backup plans toooo....if you will going to follow these steps then the success is definately in your hands...

Definitely going for paid traffic source right now since I have been in SEO for the last 4 years and it just became messy..

I will make more time for my family. That's really my main issue. 2013 I will focus on my family.
