7 reasons why focusing on one aim is SO important in building successful internet businesses

It’s so easy to get distracted from your primary business purpose, particularly when you’re working for yourself.

At the beginning of the day, the deluge of emails can be overwhelming and it’s tempting to spend hours wading through them.

If you’re going to be successful, it’s essential that you stay focused on your primary aim – to build a successful business.

Here’s 7 tips to success for business building:-

Decide what your primary aim is – whether you want to build a successful site selling ebooks, build an information site, be an eBay powerseller – whatever it is, you need to know the one thing you’re aiming for

Set Targets –  create targets to help you achieve that goal.  Break them down into daily, weekly and monthly targets.  How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time !  That’s also the smart way to build your business, don’t get overwhelmed by how far you have to go, work out what steps you need to take to get there.

Make them SMART

Smart targets are specific, measureable, achievable, realistic and time-limited.  For example,  for a new website, your target might be “to sell $100 worth of products within 90 days”.

Write it down

Write down your targets in bullet pointed format – and put them somewhere you’ll see them every day.  This is a helpful reminder to keep doing something every day and can also help you stay on task when you’re tempted to get distracted.

Create Rewards

Add in rewards for when you reach goals.  In our example, how would you choose to reward yourself for actually achieving $100 of sales ?  Celebrate each step of success along the way.

Keep at it

Even when nothing seems to be happening, keep working at it.  Most businesses need a lot of ground work before anything starts to happen – a bit like a building site, where they seem to spend ages on the foundations, and yet it’s just a matter of days when the actual building finally starts to appear.

Focus, focus, focus – stay focused.  Don’t get distracted from your main purpose – keep working towards your goals and don’t quit!

The Adsense Advantage – free ebook from Matt Callen

When I receive an email from Matt Callen offering me a free information product that he’s put together, I know it’s going to be good.

Unlike other experts who churn out recycled information or blatant promotions of their new products, Matt can be relied upon to put together a  well-written article that’s interesting, informative and easy to read.

His latest offering, the Adsense Advantage, is no exception and is 47 pages of reading about one guy and how he made over $9000 in one month from Adsense.

It really does offer a step by step approach that any internet newbie can follow to make money with Adsense.

The guy in question is Abhishek Agarwal who’s a big powerseller in India, but wanted something that would offer him a way of earning money with less effort on a daily basis. 

This ebook has proof of earnings and shows the very low income that Abhishek was earning in October and November 2006, prior to trying out Matt’s HyperVRE system of creating Adsense websites. 

Whilst the HyperVRE system is available as a free download for anybody to try, Abhishek purchased the Gold version which has a number of bells and whistles that help the search engines to see fresh content each time they visit.

If you haven’t considered this method, it might be worth checking out the report.  Combine it with reading Michael Campbell’s IMS ” 200 Page Website Challenge ” and you could be on to a winner – using HyperVRE to create pages and Michaels advice to create fresh and interesting pages of content.

Download both Matt Callens and Dr Andy’s EZSEO ebooks and you could be setting up a series of successful internet businesses for yourself.

Stay on Target with your business !

It’s so easy to get distracted isn’t it?!

We have the best of intentions, but then something comes along and we find we’ve gone half way down that track without even intending to.

Over the past year I’ve read literally dozens of ebooks and reports written by the internet marketing experts. 

The one overwhelming piece of information that they all say is how easy it can be to waste time and not stay focused on the important things.

Let’s have a look at the past 24 hours:-

Emails in about Day Job Killer – a system of making money with PPC advertising (although some think it’s rather unorthodox in it’s approach).  Read reviews from well-known marketers – not all positive and reminded myself that this was NOT related to my main business, so was not relevant.

Email from Matt Callen about Adsense Advantage – offering a free report on how one guy using his HyperVRE system had made over $9000 in just one month.  Well worth a read – although I’d have liked more information – like how much money this guy spent on PPC advertising to get that kind of an income.  You can download Matt’s free report here.

Email from Michael Campbell – general internet marketing info, but suggesting that I subscribe to the Adsense Blogspot update list to get the latest information on making money with Adsense.  I did – am fed up with hearing about it first from Joel Comm!

Dozens of other emails offering new ways to make money – info products, PLR, affiliate, you name it, there’ve been emails about it.

Since I realised just how much time I was wasting just reading through these and chasing off after the latest ” fad” – I’ve been far more strict with myself.

I know what my goal is  – to build my Adsense income by creating quality, informative sites – and if something will help me do that, then I’ll go with it.  Otherwise it needs to be ignored or shelved (if it looks interesting for the future, I’ll print a page out and file it for reference).

This is a key way to build your business – that’s what I’m doing today – adding information and content to my existing sites and the related blogs, posting new articles and building my Adsense income further.

Don’t get distracted – whatever your business, whatever you’re good at – focus on doing more of the same and doing it better!

Dr Andy’s EZSEO

After finishing my Adsense Freedom site, I’m now in the process of building a new site using the information I’ve learned from Dr. Andy’s two books – the first “Battle for the Top 10″ and the more recent “Creating Big Fat Affiliate Sites”.  Despite being an avid reader of the latest techniques by SEO experts – Dr Andy always seems to be ahead of the game.

His ideas seem to preceed the information in the recent Googleicious and Going Natural reports – although both of those also contain some pretty useful stuff.

I love the way he uses examples – like using quotes or no quotes on Google searches for beautifully phrased words like “big bad blue widgets” – this guy even has a sense of humour!

Adsense Freedom – are you happy with your Adsense revenue?

I’ve finally finished the Adsense Freedom course, which is free for people to sign up to if they’re interested in making more money with Google Adsense.  Although Adsense is a relatively easy way to make money, many people’s Adsense revenue isn’t enough to buy a weekly cup of coffee!

The Adsense Freedom newsletter offers a new and different approach – ideal for newbies, but just as effective as for people who’ve been online for a while but struggling to earn a good income.
