I’m assuming you have a fair bit of experience (at least) with SEO? There is a MAJOR free offer going on right now too, by the way: http://www.clicknewz.com/stse2.htm

Your thoughts?

And I’m not new to this. I’ve been online for six years. I write two blogs. I’ve submitted articles to both online and offline magazines. I’m on a lot of social networking sites, including Twitter. I have six other websites also. And I write two newsletters, though both are only listed on my main business site (kept getting lots of comment spam with my form, so I removed it). I even have a small, free giveaway if people subscribe to either of the newsletters.

So, yes, I’d say traffic would be the most important question I have. Thanks for the vine.

Maybe I can help… If you have a few hours a day to devote to your online business, I might be able to help you figure out the best use of that time to see things through to your goal.

I’m way late to this discussion, but I’d still like to make a comment.

Because it’s not my primary job, I don’t always put in the hours that are probably needed. However, as a consultant, I have long down periods, and during those times I do put a lot of hours into trying to figure things out. I probably read too much stuff and let it all get me confused, and yet, at the same time, I read it all because I never seem to get the answer I’m looking for.

Yes, I do waste some time here and there, but when I’m sitting at the computer for upwards of 16 or 17 hours, wasting a little bit of time isn’t such a big deal.

As for the money,… well, let’s just say that, on a yearly basis, I’m not making as much as I would have made had I stayed at Kmart back in 1982 when I was making $2.90 an hour. It’s really a good thing I have another career to fall back on.

Great discussion. A time-log is a fantastic eye-opening tool that shows where our time is wasted. It’s so easy to waste time, unfortunately.

Another time-saving tactic is to not keep our email inboxes open all day. The temptation is to check each new email that comes in and this is where major distraction occurs. If the key is to be focused and I believe that it is, then I would recommend checking emails maybe 3 times / day but in between closing the inbox completely.

Focus and persistence I believe are key to success in any venture and expecially with internet marketing because there is so much information online that can distract people.

I truly enjoy your site Lynn. Thanks for being so honest with all of us and trying to help us be more successful.

Take care,
Chris

I have just been hired, full-time, to work with my web-hosting company as the support person for one of their new proprietory software products. Creating videos, templates and conducting online support etc.

Thanks to those who sent prayers. I sent some myself…….. must have worked.

Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart to all of you.

To Health, Wealth & Success,

For me I think the biggest problem was:

1) Wasting too much time
2) Not marketing my products

I would build, and then stop. Build something new, then stop. etc. Plus I never made a plan at all.

Now I plan the things I need done at least a month to two months in advance.

Also, when my daughter was diagnosed last year with hodgkins lymphoma my priorities had to change BIG time. So I was VERY limited for computer time, I had to spend all my energy in my daughters treatment and getting her well.

During that time my income tripled! And even more so now.

The best advice I could give anyone is just to keep moving forward! Don’t stress over what isn’t working and look at what is, then grow it.

I look forward to see what comes out of this all Lynn!

Also, new post with FREE information for you guys to help you get over the hump and start making some money online! See: http://www.clicknewz.com/1635/learn-how-to-make-money-online/

But please go ahead, it would be just fantastic to get such a review.I am trying to add a new review every few days.

@Laurie – great feedback, and thank you. Its not easy to create a step-by-step daily plan or outline since every online business is unique to the person that created it – some rely heavily on SEO, others on social networking, etc. But I love the concept. That may be something I work on for Elite Members – a custom action plan. Love the idea!

It is a question that various services have attempted to resolve but they use either reciprocal linking eg linkmarket,which isn’t very useful when they put your link way down in a large directory on an unrelated site.

Three way links are better but I haven’t seen a service offering those. Then you can purchase links but that is very expensive and I am not sure how much you would need to spend to make it work.

Its easier to get links in if you have a good product because your affiliates link to you but that isn’t helpful for affiliate products.

I recently was tempted to buy a product that shows how the owner got onto Googles first page in 10 days and made swags of dosh. It uses datafeeds on a blog and the product is a Wp plugin that makes it easy to upload datafeeds. I realised that the owner had managed that feat because he could link to his new site with pr 7 sites and most of us can’t!

So if you can solve that problem you will make a mint and we will all love you more than we do already!

Lynn, I think I sent this to you in an email. Not sure if you saw it.

What I’m looking for are consistent day-to-day things I can do to build my business up to the point that I’m making the income I want.

I liked the Fast Cash Strategy and plan to try to implement some of those ideas.

But what I’d like are ideas/strategies that aren’t necessarily “fast” but are ones that will continue to work day after day. Things that may take some time to build, but will grow and increase over time.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
