Focusing On What Is Important

Mikael — Wed, 12 May 2010 19:25:16 +0000

If you are still hanging on as a reader of this blog, I would like to start by apologizing that I haven’t updated it frequently and that almost 4 months have passed since the last post. However, I do think that it can be turned into a lesson that I find most people are struggling with and that I myself have had a hard time with in the beginning of my online business career. I have talked about the topic of FOCUS before but I find that it is important to remind ourselves about it from time to time. If we haven’t got a clear and precise goal that we can keep our focus at, we will often drift from one thing to the next and get very little productive work done. I don’t know if you have ever tried it but I have personally done it so many t... Read more

Being Productive Like Never Before

Mikael — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:48:40 +0000

WOW!!… Because of The Keyword Academy and the methods these guys teach, I have never (ever) been as productive as I have been in the last 3 weeks. I know this might be a strange statement considering that I am running a decent online business already, but what I learned from one of their recent webinars has revolutionized my business. I don’t want to sell you their program (even though you can get access to everything for $1), but merely explain some of what it is that I have learned through the TKA membership. More Virtual Real Estate Means More Income When you are making money online from websites that bases the income on traffic, you will need to focus on getting more of it. Now there are at least two ways to receive more traffic... Read more

Don’t Try To Make Shit Stick

Mikael — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:02:55 +0000

I am sorry for the blunt title but I am sure you’ll get the idea once you’ve read through this post. Most online marketers know that there is a difference between “good content” and “poor content” online and I’m sure that we have all clicked on a search result in Google that sent us to a page filled with a lot of crap content that either didn’t provide any value and that was just gibberish. I’ve never been an advocate of always trying to make everything you do online perfect. In my view “perfect” doesn’t exist and no matter how hard you try and how much time you spend you will always be able to do better. But settling for something less than perfect is not the same thing as accepting crap. Far from it! My point is ... Read more

Do You Think That “Thinking” Is Working?

Mikael — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:58:11 +0000

Most entrepreneurs (both online and offline) are extremely innovative people and most have more ideas than they will ever be able to complete or even start. Does this sound familiar to you? Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you thought about things like: Writing different ebooks and sell them Adding opt-in forms Starting a new blog Creating mini niche websites and monetize them with Adsense Building review websites with affiliate links Creating strategic partnerships with other people in your niches Doing massive linkbuilding campaigns using social media, video, article marketing…… Wanting to do guest posts on other sites for links and traffic Obviously the list could go on and on because there is an unlimited amount o...

What To Do When Time Is Limited

Mikael — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:28:09 +0000

I am not going to use this post as an excuse for not writing any posts in the last two weeks but rather try to put my point across in the best way I can. I do however admit that I have been feeling a little guilty in those two weeks because I have had several things that I would have liked to share with you. Prioritize When You Have To We all have 24 hours a day so when people say that they “don’t have time” they are actually saying that their priorities are in such a way that the “thing” they don’t have time to do is not as important to them as something else that they have committed themselves to. There is nothing wrong with prioritizing and I actually feel that it is a vital part of both life and business. We all have a gaz... Read more

How To Get The Necessary Done Consistently

Mikael — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 06:40:54 +0000

If you have been running an online business of some sort for any period of time you probably have a very good idea of what is required in order to become as successful as you would like to become. This applies to both Adsense sites, affiliate sites, ecommerce sites and every other way that you, as a webmaster, can make money online. The things that you will have to do might differ, but there is still a very narrow set of things that you must do on a consistent basis. Adsense Sites Example Because I focus on Adsense as an income stream let me take you through the basic things that will lead you to success in this field. 1. Find good keywords 2. Write good articles for the website 3. Get incoming links (requires both time and more article wri... Read more

Structure, Systems and Success – A Winning Combination

Mikael — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:24:19 +0000

I’ve never been good at writing compelling headlines so please don’t judge this post solely on the headline What I want to talk to you about in the post is why I find that success is best achieved through using structure and systems. We’re not going to talk about what “success” is because we have talked about this topic several times and success is indeed individual and based more on a feeling that on materials goods. But this post will talk about financial success and business success and in those two areas I find that having a plan, a structure and systems will help you move forward a lot faster and help you avoid creating yourself just another job but instead creating some time freedom and financial freedom in the process. Wh... Read more

Being Structured Brings Efficiency And Results

Mikael — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:05:03 +0000

If you have been wondering why I haven’t been posting in the last week or so it has nothing to do with not working as much as I usually do but rather the exact opposite. Through TKA I am now even more structured in my approach to my online business and because of this structure I’ve been able to get a lot more done in a short amount of time because I constantly know what to do next. Exciting but also exhausting at the same time. We humans have different preferences and methods of working effectively and what might be the right choice for some will be totally inappropriate for others. There is no right or wrong way but in the end it is the results that count and they are often easy to measure and compare. But let me share a little with y... Read more

Follow One Course Until Successful

Mikael — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:11:51 +0000

I have talked about this topic before but I find that it is so incredibly important that it is worth mentioning again. The reason I came to think of it was that Jonathan Ledger has written a post about this topic a few days ago after he had read a thread at the Warrior forum. As online marketers we’re trying to do everything ourselves and this is especially true when we are first starting out learning all about this new and exciting world of online business. But doing everything poorly instead of mastering a few things have never been the road to success and since we have the added “benefit” of being bombarded with “bright shiny objects” (aka. new marketing products) whose only purpose is to try to make us change what we doing by ...
