Finish That Project First!
By Paul Kleinmeulman

How many projects have you started but never finished?

At the time, they seem like the best idea world, but after 1 or 2 weeks, or even 1 or 2 days you lose enthusiasm for them, and very soon they become more digital dust for your hard drive.

I cannot count how many half finished products, and even completed products that I have never sold, that are just waiting in my hard drive, becoming less and less of a good idea. If you are just starting an online business, you are probably laughing at me right now, and saying to yourself "I would never do that!" But it does happen and it is one of the most idiotic practices, you can see with most online marketers. Why? Because you don’t make money unless you sell something and it needs to be finished before you sell it.

I don’t believe that every marketer has attention deficit disorder, but I do believe that online marketing changes so fast and there are so many distractions online, it is so hard to focus.

So how do you finish that project?

Here are 3 techniques, to help you to focus and finish that project.

1)  Make The Decision

Every change starts with a decision, and you are in charge of that decision. If you want to finish that project, then you need to decide to first. Decide right now, that nothing is going to stop you, from finishing this project off. No coder, no copywriter, no graphic designer, no content writer, everybody is replaceable. Nothing is going to stop you not even yourself.

As you have new ideas, write them down within a separate document and then start them when you have finished this project first, yes even if they are better then your current idea.

2)  Write A List

To take a product to market, there are a lot of little steps that need to be done. Some of them are good marketing practices, but are not essential, such as a One Time Offer, or a bonus to add to your sales page. Don’t let these things stop you. Take the time to write a list of everything that you need to sell your product.

Such as…
Product
Sales Page
Payment Processor
Download Page

That is basically it. Everything else is not essential, though I would strongly suggest you take 5 minutes to create the customer sign up list ;-). So what do you need to finish off to start selling your product? Write the list, and break down even further if it seems too big to you. For example, a lot of people get stuck on the sales page. So break it down. Headline, Introduction, Features, Guarantee, Closing etc.

3) Set A Launch Date

I believe there is a saying that goes something like this… "A goal without a date is a dream that will never be accomplished." If you want to push yourself, and get the project finished quicker then ever before, then set a launch date and take your list, and give each of them completion times.

Immediately you will know what you need to do during the coming weeks so that you will be ready for your launch date.

So there you have it, 3 strong techniques to help you to avoid distractions and focus to finish off that project.

All the best for your online success.

Defeating Distractionosaur - Failures Monster…
By Paul Kleinmeulman

It’s 8:30 at night and you have a couple of precious hours before you have to go to bed. You want to grow your online business because you are sick of having to go to work in the morning. Day in day out.

But before you get started you decide to check your email. You start reading a few, one recommends this amazing ‘new’ way to make money online. You spend 30 minutes reading the sales page and decide to buy it. You get to the download page, download the PDF, and start reading a few chapters. As you are reading, you see that this amazing new way to make money online will definitely work BUT it looks like a lot of work.

Before you know it it’s midnight, you haven’t gotten any work done, and you have just blown another $50 bucks because this direction is entirely different from the one you are currently heading in.

Failure’s monster, Distractionosaur strikes again. Tearing you up and spitting you out.

Has that happened to you? It used to happen to me all the time.

So how do you beat this extremely powerful monster? How do you put him in his place and FOCUS on doing the things you need to do to grow your own online business.

Well, let me share with you 4 things, to help you defeat Distractionosaur.

1)  Write A List & Prioritize…

One of the best things that I have done, to beat Distractionosaur, is to take 5 minutes before I switch on the computer and write a list of what I want to achieve, today, this week, this month and then prioritize that list.

Once I have identified what is the most important things that need to be done, I do them first… and then reward myself, with email or a few videos on YouTube.

2)  Eat That Frog First!

Brian Tracy, has written an excellent book, called ‘Eat That Frog’ (or something like that) and the basic principle is that if you eat a big ol’ dirty bullfrog before you do anything else, everything else you do that day will be a breeze.

So on your list, you have frog, something that you are not looking forward to. Perhaps it is writing a set of autoresponder messages, or reviewing a product and writing a compelling review about it. Whatever is… don’t put it off. Do it first and everything else will be easy, and enjoyable in comparison.

This works amazingly well.

3)  Unsubscribe From All But The Best Lists

As an internet marketer, no doubt you are on a lot of lists and no doubt you get a lot of email. Email takes time to read, to delete, and it is a huge distractor. The less email you get the better.

So unsubscribe from every list, that doesn’t provide quality information or recommendations.

I have done that over 2 years ago now, and I have never regretted. I only really read two marketers. They always provide quality emails and recommendations and I respect that about them. Find the marketers that work for you.

4)  Only Buy When You Need It.

If you need a product to grow your business or to do something specific, then by all means buy it. But most people don’t do that. They buy, when they don’t really need it, and never even look at the product. $10 is $10… don’t waste it.

Focus on growing business first and foremost. You won’t regret it.

Well that was 4 simple ways to ensure that you don’t get eaten by Distractionosaur.

Focus is key, you can do it.

All the best for your online success.

There is a quote that goes something like this.

"See what the other guys are selling and give that away as a bonus"

In other words over deliver.

Well that’s exactly what i have done with my new site.

http://www.SleepWinks.com

It has just launched.

In a few weeks I will do a full case study about it but for the mean time I have a little quiz/challenge for you.

Give me a list of how many viral/traffic multiplying methods am I using on that site. Hint it is more than 3.

All the best,

P. S. BTW if you are looking for an insomnia cure I highly recommend that you download those 3 free binaural beats audios.

3 Way Links Work Amazingly Well For Ranking In The Search Engines…

Disclaimer:- I am not an SEO expert… I am just an ordinary Joe that has found something that works amazingly well.

I have been meaning to write this post and mail it for over 2 weeks but have just been too busy volunteering all week and trying to launch a new site.

In fact I have had a burning desire to write this post because my search engine rankings just exploded.

Don’t expect it to take months to rank well in the search engines but on the other hand don’t expect it over night either. In my experience for the less competitive keywords you can rank on the first page in a week for higher competitive ones it took just over a month.

Nothing… Nothing… Nothing… Then BANG! My site is rising in the search engines rapidly for these specific keywords.

Here is how I did it…

I added my new site http://www.MyMindShift.com (doing fantastically well btw, people just love these amazing audios and I am getting amazing testimonials) to two 3 Way Linking services.

Linktator 2 & 3WayLinks.net <= Both outstanding services by the way, you set it up once and from then on it is totally automated, adding back links to your site with your specific hyperlink keyword text on autopilot.

Well with these 2 services I targeted the most competitive keyword phrases.

And here are the results for the 6th of April, 2008 (a couple of weeks old now but the rankings have been holding well even though Google dances them everyday).

Binaural Mp3

This keyword has 904,000 competition in Google, yet I have been ranking on the first page almost since week one. The reason is that when you make the keyword specific “binaural mp3″ it has only 2080 competition. Any person with basic SEO knowledge can rank for that no problem.

Binaural

Notice that results on this one…. very interesting. Was 73, three weeks ago and then steady… steady she climbs for a one word keyword (1 word keywords are not very targeted and I don’t recommend that you target them). Over 1.9 million competitors.

Now for the one I am stoked about.

Binaural Beats

For weeks it was nothing, then it appeared and then it exploded in the search engines.
Competition is 223,000 and 148,000 for “binaural beats” so it is a competitive keyword.

Dave Wooding took this screenshot for me when it was in Position 4 and I was getting a lot of traffic from that one keyword (still am).

Here is another very interesting one because I am not targeting it specifically.

Binaural Beats Theta

Page 6 results and then BANG it explodes!

It is the same for my other competitive keyword.

Nothing… Nothing… Nothing… For a whole month and then BANG! It appears and rises rapidly.

So in conclusion, I attribute all my SEO success to the powerful services of Linktator 2 and 3WayLinks.net. Results may not happen over night but they will happen and they can just explode over night.

BTW if you want to get both services for the price of one then Dave Wooding is allowing you free access to Linktator 2 when you purchase 3WayLinks.net through his affiliate link.

Check out http://www.3WayLinksPlus.com <= Nope I don’t make any commissions through that link… Dave gets it all but I believe in these services so strongly and want to do the best for you guys.

So if you have any website and you want to rank it in the search engines then I highly recommended that you use these amazing services for fast results.

All the best,

Sincerely,

P.S. One more screenshot showing my traffic over the life of this site.

As you can see it had nothing at the start of March. When I launched it grew. When I found some JV parters it exploded to just under 600 visitors a day and now is leveling off to 300 visitors per day just from SEO and Adwords.
