The First Step To Any Marketing Effort

People are always curious...what's the first thing I need to do in order to be a successful online marketer? My answer is...the same thing you need to be successful at ANYTHING. Ready?...

The first thing you need is a positive attitude. Success in any endeavor starts in the mind. The first thing you need to do before you take any action is make sure your head is on straight. By that, I mean that you need to be absolutely sure that you are focusing on the end result of success instead of worrying what might go wrong. You need to envision success. Have the faith to know that you can and will succeed.

If you go into something expecting failure, or even wondering if you can succeed or not, you are killing your chances of success. However, if you firmly believe in your mind that success is not an option, but is inevitable, you will take action that follows that belief and leads you to success.

How do you focus on success? I am one who believes in affirmation and visualization. Throughout the day, repeat to yourself success phrases over and over until they are entrenched into your subconscious. Short phrases like, "I am successful", "my plans succeed", "I make good money", etc. Anything that you feel comfortable with. Then visualize the success. Replay the picture in your mind of the high traffic numbers, or money being earned, even if it's not happening yet. Along with that, feel the excitement and satisfaction of it as if it were actually happening. It's unbelievable how this works on the subconscious, and constant doubts are replaced by irreplaceable faith.

Online marketing is difficult work, especially to be very successful. However, when success is engrained in your mind, you are taking that all-important first step to making it happen for you. It will also make the experience far more positive and rewarding. Enjoy it!

P.S. If you find this information helpful, I have an entire blog full of articles about the power of the mind. Please check it out at http://www.powerofpies.wordpress.com/.

A Powerful Time Management Tip

Are you looking for ways to manage your time more effectively? Time management can be a struggle for many, especially those exploring the online marketing world while trying to working around full time jobs.

One of the best pieces of advice I've received recently comes from Jim Britt in his book, "Do This, Get Rich". In one of the chapters he suggests breaking the day down to 15 minute blocks, trying to accomplish as much as possible in each of these blocks. This is in line with his theme that the most successful people are given no more time in a particular day than anyone else. It's just that they use their time more effectively.
After taking a closer look at this theory it makes sense. The author points out that in an average day we have about 60 of these blocks. By focusing on each of these 15 minute blocks, it helps us become more aware of the time and using it effectively. He mentions that 15 minutes is enough time to accomplish something, and short enough that, if we are moving off track, we can take corrective action quickly without wasting a great deal of time.

Since I need much help in managing my time this classic procrastinator and time waster decided to give it a try. I will admit that focusing on every 15 minute block is not an easy task. In the first weeks I tried this it was difficult to make it through a whole day of managing each 15 minute time frame. However, gradually improved efficiency by one or two blocks a day. I'm still not perfect at it, but I believe I am setting the tone for greater efficiency that eventually will become routine.

I have mentioned this information to some of my family and friends who have said they noticed an immediate difference in time awareness and efficiency. Overall, I love this philosophy because it can help you become more aware of your actions, time spent on them, and the results you are actually producing. I recommend giving it a try. Please let me know how it goes.

Enjoy the blessings : )
