12 Tips To Boost Your Productivity
Your productivity in your business is a keys to your success. The one thing that we all have in common is the number of hours that we have in a day. It doesn’t matter if you are a multi-millionaire or a “struggling” home based business owner, we all have only 24 hours each day. What makes the difference is how you choose to use your time. Do you spend it and at the end of the day wonder where your time went, or do you invest your time wisely so as to get the most out of your day and your life?

As business owners, we don’t get paid for time, we get paid to produce a result – we are paid for our productivity. As such, we need to make the most of every minute of every day. Below are 12 tips to help you get the most out of your day.
1. Plan Your Day in Advance. Before going to bed each night, you need to set a little time to plan the next day.
2. Prioritize your tasks ahead of time. By scheduling your tasks in order of importance, you can devote more attention to your most pressing tasks. You can prioritize your day so that you do not spend five hours answering email, while the rest of your duties slide.
3. Set goals for your day. As you plan your day, set the goals that you want to accomplish. Although you may not get through your entire to-do list, try to set and meet reasonable goals each day.
4. Get Your Mind Right. Before starting your work day. Spend time visualizing your day. See yourself completing the day’s tasks and visualize the future results of the work that you are doing now. Step into that vision. Set aside at least 10 minutes each day to engage in visualization exercises.
5. Set a schedule and stick to it. For every task that you have set for the day, set aside a specific amount of time and stick to your schedule. You will be surprised by what you can get done in an hour if you focus on the task at hand. If you haven’t completed the task within the allotted time, then schedule time for the next day to complete that task. Unless it is a critical, money making activity, do not spend more time on that activity than you have scheduled.
6. Use a stop watch or timer. In order to stay on schedule, buy or download a stop watch app, and use it to stay on schedule.
7. Turn off distractions. If the television or radio or Facebook lures you away from your duties, turn it off or log off. You must do everything that you can to stay on task and avoid all distractions
8. Avoid Multi-Tasking. Many people think that the multi-tasking somehow increases their productivity, but it has been shown that it takes about 20 minutes for your mind to acclimate to a task. Multi-tasking actually kills your productivity.
9. Take A Break. For every hour of work, take a 10 minute break. Step away from your computer. Go outside. Use this time to clear your mind and to prepare for the next task.
10. Spend Less than 30 Minutes a day on email. Many people spend a lot of time constantly checking their emails. You should schedule 1 or 2 times a
11. day to check emails and only take about 2 minutes to respond to any emails that require your attention.
12. Complete Money Making Activities First. There are only 2 types of money making activities (MMA) – Active Prospecting and Passive Marketing. You should spend about 90% of your time in MMA. And you should give those MMA’s the highest priority when you schedule your day in advance.
13. Make Time For Exercise. By exercising regularly, you will increase the energy that you have available by exercising regularly
Bonus Tip: Make Time For Family and Relationships. Though you may be driven by achieving success in your business, you must maintain a proper life-balance. Your business is just one aspect of your life and, if you are like me, your business is a vehicle that you use to provide for your family. So make sure that you take the time to keep your personal relationships with family, friends and esp. your spouse, healthy.

The Pillars of Successful Online Marketing Businesses
Did you know that there are 6 pillars that are essential to the success of your online business?

These 6 pillars are listed below.

Pillar 1 – Vision & Personal Development

Many people that I speak to who are just beginning their journey into the world of online marketing have absolutely no vision as to what they really want out of this. And as a result, many of them are spinning their wheels, spending a lot of time and money but not making any progress in any direction. Because they have no direction. As you set out on your journey as an online marketer, you should sit down, and define what your vision for your business and your life is. And then you must write it down. Make your vision clear that you see the tiniest details of the life that you are building for yourself and your loved ones.

After clearly defining your vision for your online marketing business and writing it down, you need to define your BIG why! Your “BIG Why” will drive you forward through the times when you want to give up. Your WHY and coupled with your vision will allow you to wake up with excitement and determination for the future that you are creating.

In defining your Vision and Your Big Why, you need to ask yourself the following questions.
1. If you had all of the money in the world, what would you do?
2. What limiting beliefs do you feel could be holding you back from achieving your vision?
3. Who Must You become in order to achieve your vision?
After you’ve defined your Vision and your Big Why, you have determined what steps you will need to take to become the person that you will need to be to actually bring your vision to fruition. The one thing that I’ve learned as I’ve moved forward in my business, is that personal development and mindset are 99% of the battle. In your journey to achieving your vision, you will become a new person… You will develop new habits, skillsets and even new ways of thinking. Get Excited!

Pillar 2 – Creating Your Brand

Developing your brand for your online marketing business is the 2nd pillar that you have to work on. Many people in the business, spend a good deal of time marketing their company’s or products brand when instead they should be focusing on building their own brand. To develop your own brand, ask yourself the following questions:
1. Who are you?
2. What do you stand for and who do you serve?
3. What are the biggest problems, challenges, and concerns of your target market?
4. What do they really want?
5. What do you like to talk about?
6. What’s life all about for you?
7. What is your passion? Breakthroughs, stories, epiphanies that you can share?
8. What are your values?
9. What is important to you?
Once You’ve answered these questions, use the answers to define your brand, target your audience and set out to provide value, value and more value to your audience based on the brand that you have established.

Pillar 3 – Your Monetization Strategy

As you set out to determine your monetization strategy, you need to answer the following questions…
1. How is your business going to make money?
2. What are you selling
3. What are the income-producing activities in your business?
4. What could you sell to your audience today/
5. What low-cost, low-barrier products/services ($1-$27) irresistible offers do you have that will allow you to get buyers?
6. Know your metrics, and determine your financial priorities…
  - What are your lead flows
  - Your conversion rates
  - Ad spends
  - Costs per lead
  - Lifetime customer value
7. What are you selling for the next 30 days? What are your goals and projected outcomes?
You must determine and track these metrics so that you know what activities will produce income for your online marketing business and so that you can track your costs and incomes to determine which activities/products are profitable, and which are not.

Pillar 4 – Content

If you want success in your online marketing business, you have to create value in the marketplace. As a marketer, you do this by creating valuable content that your target market wants to consume.

Content is the currency of the internet.

You need to develop the following types of content –

Pillar Content

Pillar Content?is a substantive and informative piece of content on a specific topic or theme that can be broken into many pieces and media types: Examples of content pillars include eBooks, reports, and guides.

Basically, it’s a large piece of content that you can turn into many smaller pieces of content to fuel all those channels you’re currently struggling to fill. By focusing your attention on creating a single content pillar, it’s easy to break that finished piece into blog posts, infographics, videos, emails, social media updates, and more, to attract different kinds of buyers through different channels.

Promotional Content

Promotional content is smaller pieces of content which serve to drive traffic to you Pillar content pieces. For instance, an example of promotional content might be a 2-3 minute Facebook Live that introduces your audience to an aspect of your Pillar content, then show them how to get access to your pillar content.

Lead Magnets Content

Generally speaking, lead magnets are free ebooks, free video tutorials, that you will give to your audience in exchange for their email address.

When it comes to generating this content you should spend 20% of your time on content creation and 80% on promotion, and every piece of content that you create should have a strong call to action.

Every piece of content that you create should have a purpose. ?For instance, the sole purpose of creating a lead magnet would be to generate a lead, whereas the purpose of a low-cost derivative of your Pillar content could be used to identify your buyers. You need to define specific measurable outcomes for your content and track your results weekly.

Pillar 5 – Follow-up & Engagement

As you build your audience for your online marketing business, you have to commit to consistently follow up and engage with them. You must…
1. Determine how you will engage with them on a consistent/daily basis?
2. You must email your list regularly
3. Spend time daily on the various platforms providing value, tip, Intel, and solutions.
4. You must engage with your audience. Like and comment on their posts, and comment on their responses.
5. Define how you will continuously gain their trust, build rapport and nurture and grow long-term relationships with them.
6. Create simple promotional content daily to engage your audience.
7. Pick up the phone – be human and connect with people.
8. Schedule webinars, Facebook Lives and Live Q&A Sessions.
9. Create a community and culture to make your audience feel as though they are a part of something.
Pilar 6 – Traffic, List Building & Audience Building

Now, most people think that traffic is the most important piece of this puzzle, but they are mistaken. Driving traffic is the easiest Pillar to build. There are multiple sources of traffic out there, and many ways to drive that traffic to your content and offers. Given this, you will have to make the following determinations…
1. How are you going to drive targeted traffic to your blog, websites, offers and lead magnets?
2. Will you use free or paid traffic?
3. Will you drive traffic from social media such as Facebook or Twitter?
4. Will you buy engagement ads ( like campaigns ) for your Facebook fan page, to grow your FB Audience?
5. Where does your target audience hang out and have conversations?
As you answer these question, you will need to define a structured daily plan of action to grow your audience and syndicate the content that you create.

So there you have it, the Six Pillars of All Successful Online Marketing businesses. If you are not currently building these, you should start working on them today!

Home Based Business Tips – What You Need to Get Started

Although the Internet has made it a lot easier for people to start a home based business, it is still worth making sure that you maximize your potential as a business person by having all of the possible tools you could need to get things up and running. In order to start, you need comparatively little compared with a bricks and mortar business – but the better equipped you are, the more possibilities you can turn into definites.

A computer and an Internet connection are obviously the base minimum. As you are reading this, you have access to those at least. It is then a matter of what you need to add to these. If you want to put photographs of yourself or things that you are selling onto the Internet, you will need either a digital camera (preferable) or a scanner (just about acceptable). You will also need somewhere to put the photographs – a website (which requires you to buy webspace) or a blog (which does not). A website is more customized, so if you have the know-how to do this, it is preferable.

To sell things at the click of a button you can ask your bank to set up a business account with scope to take electronic payments, or you can open an eBay account. Using eBay you will be able to auction items or services off to the highest bidder, and receive payments almost instantly through PayPal. The benefits of having the Internet mean that you can do all of this from a chair just in front of your computer.

eBay Selling Tips: How to Sell Expensive Items on eBay

The strategies used?to sell expensive items on eBay are?the same as those for ?offering inexpensive items.. Regardless what you are offering, it all?boils down to how you market the items that you are selling. This doesn’t mean you need to surf around the Web putting advertisements here and there ? with regards to eBay barters, the advertising is all done at the eBay site. Essentially, when you set up your sale, you are setting up an computerized marketing campaign.

In order to sell expensive items on ebay you must initially figure out what the cost?of your item?is, in three distinct ways. This will help you figure out what your reserve price?is. On eBay, the reserve price?is the most reduced value that you are willing?to accept?for your offering. To start with, have your expensive offering?assessed to figure out what the value of the the item?is. Next, you must research similar object that have previously sold on eBay?to see what those things sold ?for. And finally, figure out what the value of the merchandise is to you. With this bit of information, you should have all that you need to determine the lowest amount that you are willing to offer the item for.

Set your reserve price, and after that set your initial?offer value lower than $50 ? regardless of how high your reserve?price??is. This is a showcasing strategy. It will be difficult to draw in potential purchasers to a sale for an thing offered?for hundreds of dollars ??but?getting them to a sale where the initial price is?just $50 is very easy. Remember?that, you don’t need to sell?the item if your reserve price has not been met. This method of price setting resembles marketing gimmicks used by offline businesses that are simply designed to ?get customers in the door.

Use Great Titling to Sell Expensive Items on eBay

You must work hard to optimize your listing. Use ?buyer keywords in your title and description – these are keywords that your potential customers are likely to type in the search bar when looking for your item. ?Give as complete a description as you can for your item. ?And include lots of pictures. ?Keep in mind that your viewers cannot physically touch the items that you are trying to sell so you must provide them with as much an experience of “viewing” the item as possible in the description. Try not to deceive?potential purchasers! On the off chance that the item?has scratches or marks, just be honest about it and make sure?that the photos pass on this too. State how the item?will be packed?and sent. Likewise let potential purchasers know that delivering protection must be acquired also ? on the off chance that the item?is harmed once it leaves your possession.

For higher valued items, most eBay purchasers feel more secure?in using??an escrow service. Offer this as a choice in your bartering, with the understanding that?the purchaser must pay for the administration. This secures both parties from misrepresentation, and it makes numerous purchasers more open to spending the cash to get the item as well. eBay has joined forces with an escrow administration that is regularly utilized for high ticket things.

Ultimately, you must remember that the effort ?required to sell expensive items on eBay is the same as that required to sell those less expensive things and your profit margins can be significantly higher, so you should start listing and selling expensive items as well.

If you are not already using eBay to supplement your income I recommend that you check out Infinii. ?With Infinii, you will learn to sell on eBay and Amazon, while having our team of?experts do some of the selling for you. ?It’s probably the easiest way to make money online. ?Click the link below to learn more about Infinii and how you can start making $500-$5000 every week!
