In order to be successful online or offline you will need to do some planning. Otherwise you will try to do too many things at once. This will just lead to confusion and you get nowhere in the end. I know because thats what I did for a couple of years.
I first got myself on track by making three plans.

A business plan.
A entrepreneur plan.
A personal plan.

The business plan was to build blogs in different niches and build lists from them.
The entrepreneur plan was about the future and I wanted to learn everything that I could about video marketing.
The personal plan is all about lifestyle. In this case I wanted to find ways of outscourcing my workload to free up more time.

Can you see how easy it would be to lose focus without these plans in place? I can’t stress it enough, it should always be the building blocks to your business.
Another really great way to get started once you have your three plans in place, is to think about where you want to be in one years time. Then work your way back from that point by creating a……

A 90 day plan.
A 4 week plan.
A 1 week plan.
Then plan tomorrow today.
With these plans in place you should be able to move forward. Without them you will probably flit from task to task without any real direction.

Have you noticed how many products for sale on the internet have been selected just because of the WOW factor. How many of these products really meet the direct needs of the buyers? Probably not that many.
Clever copy can fool a lot of people.
I can never understand why somebody sells a product thats so loaded with hype that it appears too good to be true, and you know what they say about too good too be true.
If you sell or recommend a product or service that you truly believe in, then not only do you have a clear conscience but you have also actually helped someone with their online success.
I find it much easier to write about a product that I believe in as well.
The big plus side of this is that your customer is far more likely to return to your site again and again, if they feel that they have been treated fairly.
We all want to make money, but I would rather give a product away than have someone feel cheated.

The question that keeps being asked the most from my email list is, how do I build more traffic to my site?
The real question should be how do I get targeted traffic to my website. Without your traffic being targeted your sales will be as good as zero. The need for traffic is a constant pressure for the newbie. I would love to be able to tell you that there is a push button method for instant targeted traffic, but sadly it does not exist. That being said with a little effort it is possible that within a few weeks you can have a steady stream of targeted traffic to your site or blog.
The method I find best for this is link building.
Link building is all about creating a connection with other parts of the internet. Before anyone can find you they will have to know about you. The chances of traffic just stumbling across your site is unrealistic. It is a mistake that many newbies make. So how do you go about getting links?
If you think about how people use the internet. They search by inputting keywords into search engines like Google and Yahoo. They click on links in articles and in advertisements on websites that they already know about. They hear about sites in forums and chat rooms.
I started to get traffic first by networking with other sites. Just visit other sites with the same theme as yours and leave a constructive comment. Others will see your name keep popping up with your link and start to get interested in what you have to say. They will visit your site and the traffic will slowly build.
Creating content for others to use is also a very good traffic builder. Write articles for article sites, there are hundreds of them. People read these and use them on their own sites with your link in them. Its really like a knock on effect, once the momentum builds a tiny trickle can quickly become a river of targeted traffic. There many thousands of forums covering almost every subject under the sun. These can be fantasic places to make new contacts in your field and to get your site known. Do be carefull not to just push your site. People will soon get fed up being told to visit yourname.com every five minutes. Always try to write constructive comments. Answer peoples questions. It is so easy to build traffic this way.
All of the above work. Not overnight, it will start very slowly but it will work. Keep doing it and slowly the momentum builds.
Good luck and feel free to ask me any questions.
