Stop Collecting Information and Focus

How often as new marketers do we get into the trap of buying eBook after eBook and course after course thinking we need to know more before we can succeed?

There is no magic formula for making money online, and I've come to the conclusion I will never know everything either.

That's one reason it's so important to hang out in forums, read all the free stuff out there and then choose a path that is suited to who we are. Then we need to focus and not be distracted by the latest fads.

Everyone's trying to sell us something. Trying to convince us it's the final puzzle piece we need, but then we buy and are still in the same boat.

So from here on in, I am trying to stay focused on a specific area and get to work. I need to stop buying products unless I know I can use them right now.

I've started to look at what I already have on my hard drive and plan to use it. I'm forcing myself not to read email or go to forums until I finish the tasks I've set for myself each day. And I'm being held accountable to a mastermind team, so when I say I am going to write an article or work on a new product, I better be able to say I did it. This alone has been a big help to me.

Opt-in Forms

I spent today creating opt-in forms for each of my blogs. Mind you, other than this one on blogger, which is so easy to install, I have no idea what to do next. My other blogs are in Wordpress and have to be copied into the HTML code. For a non-techie like me, that is a big deal. Update: With the newer versions of Wordpress and the use of widgets with most themes, adding an opt-in form is now as easy as on a Blogger blog. I went to Aweber and created my form, copied the code that's produced and pasted it into my HTML widget. And I even sound like a techie, don't I? Until next time, Carol

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...

Youtube Videos - Are You Using Them?

Creating more Youtube videos is on my to-do list for this spring. But I think I need to take a lesson from my granddaughter's future husband and learn to use humor much more than I do. Here is a recent video he created to give you an idea of what I mean. Don't miss the surprise ending. Until next time, Carol
