Making Money Online; The Need to Develop Excellent Habits
By Michael Griep
Do anything consistently over a period of time, and good or bad, it becomes a habit. One of the keys to making money online is developing excellent daily habits. These habits are practices which are critical to success, and you must incorporate them in your daily routine.
Minimize the Amount of Time You Check and Respond to Email
There are only so many hours in a day, and even fewer hours in which you can be productive. Most people check email countless times during the course of a day, and will take time to reply to emails individually. Break this habit quickly. It is a time consuming nightmare, and it will distract your focus if you let it. The excellent habit you want to develop is to check and respond to emails twice a day, in the morning and afternoon. It may be difficult at first, but once you've developed the habit, you'll be amazed as to the time you've saved. Making money online is the goal, and to do so you need to be focused on those activities which will drive your business.
B. Create a Short List of Revenue Driving Tasks
It is a common trap to allow yourself to be distracted throughout the day with situations which do not involve making money. Develop the habit of making a short list of crucial revenue driving tasks which you complete one at a time until finished. Being "busy" does not necessarily mean being "productive." The old adage "how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time" is a habit you must develop and perform each day. Again, distractions are time killers and hinder your ability to complete that which needs to get done.
C. Call Your Opt Ins Twice a Day
Making money online means talking to people potentially interested in your business. Without this habit achieving success will be difficult if not impossible. Don't fall for the belief system of "automated" systems or signups. People buy from people they feel comfortable with, and the need for personal contact is the only way to consistently make money online. I'd suggest calling your opt ins in the morning and afternoon, the same time you check email.
D. Initiate and Track Your Daily Advertising the Same Time Each Morning
Advertising and marketing are the fuel which drives your business. Whether you're using adwords, article submissions, phone prospecting, or email blasts, develop the habit of initiating and tracking your advertising the same time each morning. Making money online requires excellent habits and minimizing distractions. If you find yourself losing focus, simply ask yourself, "Is what I'm doing right now an activity which is geared to making a sale?" If you find yourself often answering NO, it's time to reassess your daily habits and make the necessary adjustments. Strive for excellence and you will seldom be disappointed!
