How To Set Yourself For Success... The Easy Way

by Stuart Reid


You know it can be done, hundreds of thousands of other marketers already succeed online. You may even know what to do, after all it's a tried and tested process and there's a lot of documentation around to show you.

So why aren't you "Successful"?

It's to do with your outlook. Your mental picture. 

Just twist things around and take everything a small piece at a time. I'll even show you how!

1. Set Goals

Don't let Goal Setting fill you with dread or make you think of some kind of Positive Thinking mumbo-jumbo. I'll even give you a realistic goal to start out. Aim for $10,000 a year. You may want more or less, but this is a good starting point.

2. Divide your Goal into bite sized chunks

$10000 a year is $192 a week. We'll call it $200 a week for simplicity.

$200 a week is $28 a day. Again, we'll call it $30 a day.

Our new total, because of these roundups, is actually $10950 but that is good. It gives us room for to manoeuvre.

3. Formulate a Plan to achieve your goal.

$30 a Day isn't too hard for an internet marketer. It's selling about ONE infoproduct a day. 

It's making $30 profit a day on Ebay.

If you want to work Affiliate Programs, it's earning a commission of $30 a day, that would be on a 50% deal with a $60 product, for example.

If you are signing people into a MLM or some kind of recurring income, that works monthly, it's $800 a month. This means you need only hit that target to guarantee the income and not have to sell month after month. For an example, at an income of $29.95 per member, it's around signing up one person a day on average.

4. Work hard at your plan until you achieve it. 

You may need to sacrifice some profit at the start to hit your targets later. It's hard to make money without money! But as long as your goal is in sight you WILL succeed. 

And don't forget, these are average figures. If you are working at selling infoproducts, for example, you may sell none one day, but two the next. That balances out. You may also - and personally I think you should - sell multiple products, maybe across multiple sites. So out of, say, 10 products you are selling you only need to sell ONE a day. 

Think of it as fishing. You have 10 lines in the water, but you only want one bite (and be happy for more!).

5. Reset your Goals.

Once you're achieving these goals, reset the figures. Perhaps double everything - aim for $20,000 a year. That means sell TWO infoproducts a day, or make $60 a day...

I hope this short article helps put things in perspective. If you're despairing at the whole Internet Marketing thing just set achievable goals and focus entirely on them.

You'll probably find yourself hitting WAY over the mark. That is, making more than you expect. Each sale is a potential repeat customer, or a back-end sale. Each member to your MLM is potentially someone who will sign more themselves. The more you achieve - the more YOU CAN achieve!
