My Last 5 Dollars

Make Money Online – How Do You Get Started – Continued

To make money online, we previously discussed two focus points – 1. read as much as you can before you spend any money, and 2. pinpoint what your niche will be so you can be as specific and laser targeted as possible. Here are a few more suggestions as you get started online making money.

3. Organization. Pretty simple concept, but extremely difficult to implement. If you do not plan out your day, you are going to lose. So much time is wasted randomly surfing without any specific plan in mind.

Each day you need to choose 3-5 things you want to accomplish and actually accomplish them! That means they need to be SMART goals.

  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Attainable
  • Relevant
  • Time-bound

One of my secret weapons in day to day operations is a basic blank notebook. In the morning over coffee, I write down my goals for the day. Some days they are not hard to accomplish, other days they are a bit more labor and time intensive. But as I move through my list of goals, I check them off and have a real sense of accomplishment.

This level of focus is imperative you want to succeed and make money online. You probably are very aware that time can get away from you when surfing the net, and next thing you know your day is shot and you have accomplished absolutely nothing.

In addition to daily goals, it is also important to look ahead and have weekly and monthly goals. For me, these longer term goals are a little less exacting, as I tweak them as I move through the days and week.

In the next post I will give you another tip you should consider when getting started making money online. Follow along and with persistence, focus and patience, you will see success.

To you success and freedom,

Make Money Online – How Do You Get Started

To make money online in reality is not that simple.

If you are interested in making money online, and you are just starting out, then read on. What you are about to discover may save you hundreds or thousands of dollars and many wasted minutes and hours!

Every day there are a number of new money-making products released. Unfortunately, most of these turn out to be a waste of time and money. Many are re-hashings of products that have come before, and offer very little help to those who are starting out learning how to make money online.

So before you go out there and get suckered into buying something that does nothing for you, here are some tips to consider.

1. READ, READ, READ – There are a ton of resources online that are FREE that will give you the basics required to make money online. I suggest you sign up for internet marketer newsletters offered by experts in the field. They will provide you with great tips that you can add to your arsenal that will help develop your business.

** Keep in mind that they will try to sell you something – quite often – and you have to carefully choose whether to purchase or not.  Many times these products you purchase only give you some basic information (which you readily can find for free with a bit of searching) and not truly give you the whole picture.  **

Joining forums and getting actively involved also is a great way to learn more. There are thousands of people like you looking for the answers and forums can really help you find out what works to make money online.

2. Stick to one or a few areas within internet marketing. If you start trying out everything in hopes that something will work you are going to be overwhelmed, spreading yourself too thin, and in the end be no better off that you started.

So choose your niche, and then decide how you want to approach it. Just start with one strategy and work through it. Making mistakes along the way is a GOOD thing, and you learn so much not only from what works, but what DOES NOT work. Don’t let failure bring you down, and instead use those failures to your advantage.

Some people try to do too many things at once and little focus comes from that. You know the saying, “Jack of all trades, master of none”. This is good to heed and with internet marketing it could not me more appropriate.

In the next posting I will continue the list of tips to consider as you enter then world of internet marketing. Slow and steady wins the race, and patience is extremely important. Consider that over 90% of those that look to make money online fail and give up.

Which are you going to be?

To you success and freedom,

Dean
