You Must Have a Source of Motivation

There will be days when you feel like doing nothing. It is normal. It is part of the human experience. It is not beneficial though.

You are going to have to develop tricks to get yourself moving. Try a hot shower, get dressed including shoes, eat a healthy breakfast, drink peppermint tea, run around the block, do some jumping jacks, make a short to do list, promise yourself a reward. Who cares what motivates you, just find it.

While you are lazing around on the sofa, your competition is making connections with people, informing them, gaining their trust and getting their money. Move it or lose it.

Find what motivates you and do it until your are motivated. When working at home there is no time clock and no boss. Only the truly motivated and productive will succeed.

The boat in the image reminded me of a lazy day waiting to launch. Quit being lazy and just launch already.

Pareto's Law

There is a short cut to work. It is called Pareto's law or more commonly the 80/20 rule.

Pareto was a philosopher that discovered that 80% of all results come from 20% of the effort. In life and especially business, you have to determine what 20% of your work is creating 80% of your results. If you can do this, then you will know how to send your business into overdrive.

It is so easy to get busy checking email and other activities that do not drive our businesses and are really more effort than they are worth. Focus on what is working and ditch the rest. Look for ways to free up time that can be better spent in your 20% activities.

A strong focus on the right work will bring in the money and success.

Practical Email Tip

The more that you market on the web, the more emails you will receive. The best thing that you can do for yourself is to set up a system early to organize and prioritize. You will want one address for customer orders and another for customers support.

Also make sure that you have addresses to cover courses and ebooks that you will want to receive, ads from business resources and registrations for all the tools and websites for which you will be registering.

Don't get lost in the email. Read the important ones and then get to your daily work. At the end of the day if you have the time and inclination read through the many ads, offers and tips that you will inevitable receive.

Goal Setting

In business as in life you have to set goals. It is imperative. Write those goals down! Did you know that writing goals down significantly increases the odds of actually meeting them?

Make sure that you set your goals in varying lengths. You need long term goals so that you stay focused on the grand prize at the end. You need intermediate goals to keep you moving forward at a good pace. You need short term goals to keep your from procrastination and so that you feel like each day something is accomplished.

The most successful people in our society all agree that proper goal setting is a must. Get your pen and paper and jot those goals down. Keep you paper handy so that you stay on track.

Using Keywords- So Very Neccessary

The Internet is traveled by keywords that act as road signs. The very first thing you do when you get to Google is throw in the words that you think will bring you the information you need. If you are trying to get noticed on the web you have to use that keyword process to help searches find you.

The big boys on the web know this and they have dominated the major keywords. The trick for you, the little guy or girl, is to find the keywords that searches are using that other marketers are not using (or at least not as much.)

One good tool is Google AdWords keyword finder. It is very user friendly.

If you have skipped this step in creating your website. Stop and go back. Fill your website with the keywords you have chosen and you will have a much better shot at being found by the lost people wandering around on the Internet freeway.

Can Google Find your Pictures?

Search engine optimization can be intense. I have found that the best method of improvement is to take small steps towards your goal of a high google rank.



One way to get an edge is to make sure that the search engines can find your pictures.

Here are 3 easy steps.



1. Make sure that your picture is labeled with a descriptive name instead of letters and numbers.



For example, green-check-mark.gif is a good name. Search Engines can not see images, so you have to describe it for them.



2. Make sure that the text around the picture is also descriptive. Example:

This is a green check mark.

3. If you know any HTML at all add in an "alt" tag right after the "img src" tag.

It would look like this:

< *img src="filename.gif" alt="create a description here"* >

Make sure you remove the spaces and * around the <> marks.
