The One Year Millionaire

Here at the ‘ONE YEAR MILLIONAIRE‘ I am trying to teach you everything that you need to know as someone who has no previous knowledge about internet marketing! I try to make it simple to learn how you can make money online without any business knowledge! My blog was originally geared towards people who wanted to learn how to make money online and didn’t know where to start! Now over the past few months I have jumped  into different areas of the make money online niche opening new ideas to those who want to get started and I know that some new internet marketers may sometimes feel like giving up, or may not be heading in the direction that they wanted to go!

In order to succeed and start a career on the internet you need to be able to eliminate all the distractions that are in your way! This isn’t the most simple task and it is hard for me to give instructions that will help everyone because each person has their own unique environments and circumstances! What I can do; however, is tell you how you can stay focused on your goals by doing a few general things that will increase your success rate!

There are a couple things you should do in order to get where you want to be… here they are:

1. Manage Your Time.
   One thing that I have noticed while doing Online Marketing is that in order for me to get things done, and have enough free time to do other important things.. I have to schedule my time perfectly! Managing your work time is one of the most important things to do because in business… if you don’t work, you don’t make money! It is easy for you to collect a paycheck when your boss issues one each week for working on his schedule…  making money as consistently as a full time job from internet marketing isn’t as easy! You need to put in the time and energy to get the work done!
2. Set Your Goals.
   I know that this is common sense by now, but it amuses me to find people who don’t have clear goals! I asked a few people starting a career in Online Marketing what their goals were and the answers I got were abysmal. “I want to be rich!” is a goal… yes, but it is so vague! A proper goal would have been ” I want to be able to support myself financially from Online Marketing within a year “.
   
   If your goals are too vague then chances are that your ideas of how to reach them will also be vague!
3. Eliminate Distractions.
   I know that having a laptop is perfect for anyone who wants to be able to work from anywhere. Why limit yourself to working at home when you can do your work in a park with beautiful scenery or a coffee shop with a mellow ambiance? If you want to be confronted with a million distractions while you are struggling to get a small task done then that is a great idea! To be more realistic… working in a public setting can be fun and great for those who don’t lose focus, but for most of us.. things will not be getting done!
   If you want to keep your eyes on the prize you have to be willing to spend the time to work at it and if working outside of your home is too much of a distraction for you then you shouldn’t do it! Remember, whatever I write here may not apply to everyone… but generally I have found that people don’t get work done when they are out!
4. Reward Yourself.
   One great way of getting the job done and giving you a clear reason to continue is to reward yourself! I know that the reward for working is the money that comes out of it, but if you are just starting to work online that money may seem pretty far away. If you want to stay focused on your goals; you might want to offer yourself an immediate reward for work accomplished. Whenever you finish writing an article for a web site you can allow yourself to watch an hour of TV or play video games. Whatever you like to do… as long as you put work before pleasure. This will ensure that you are getting your work done!

Once you have decided to implement these things you will see how easily it is to make more money online and why it makes so much sense! Organize your time, set your goals, eliminate your distractions and reward yourself for the work you have done. It is the most simple way to increase your revenue without changing your business plan!

In the next issue of the ‘ONE YEAR MILLIONAIRE‘ I am going to talk specifically about ‘Time Management‘ because it is one of the most important factors that will add to your online success!
