Progress Report

February 10th, 2010

Well it has been over a week now since I have ventured out into the world of full time Internet Marketing.

To tell the truth, it is just as challenging as I thought it would be, but with these things the answer is persistence.

For starters, I know I should spend more time making blog posts, as well as building my email list.

In regards to email lists, My new site, http://timemanagementmindset.com is doing well. I am getting some traffic through, as well as a number of visitors signing up for my newsletter there.

My main form of marketing for the Time Management Mindset has been through Article Marketing. I am getting a reasonable amount of traffic from Ezinearticles, even though I have only posted two articles there so far. I need to ramp that side of things up a little. Feel free to read my articles at Ezinearticles.

Another Traffic Method I am using currently for my Time Management Mindset site is Article Marketing Automation. I have recommended this site previously, but must mention it again. AMA spins your articles, & posts them on other relivant blogs. This is dribbled out to other sites, so Google does not get upset with you. Check them out, It is well worth the effort.

Over the past week I have been putting together a new product on Product Creation. I am hoping to launch this within the next week. This will actually be a physical product that I am putting together. My Product Creation Product is a series of videos, on the quickest way for creating your own product.

More about that soon….

I have quite a number of projects in the works, so balancing them all together does take a lot of juggling. I am finding, that I can sometimes get very distracted with the little things. That is why, I must refocus each day and keep my “To Do” list close at hand, as well as my “Goal List”. Both of these are very important if I want my Internet Marketing Career to kick off in a big way.

Something else I have recently come across is a viral way to build your email list. Sounds interesting, but I recommend you check it out here at the Viral Secret.

I have been thinking lately about making a post regarding some of my other websites. Many of these need a major over haul, but before I do, I would love your feedback. So please come back in the next couple of days, as I will have a feedback form I would love for you to fill out.

One of these is a Internet Marketing Software site. I highly recommend that you have a closer look at some of the great tools that are available there. Head over to Perfect Money Makers, and download one of the free trial products that are available.

I am also spending a lot of time learning all I can about using Photoshop & Camtasia Video. I also have a product in the works for these also. Please keep posted.

Another little something I am doing to keep myself busy, is I have recently got myself an Apple MacBook Pro. I am slowly getting my head around how this works & how it is different to a PC. So much to learn…. So little time….

My tasks over the next week is to focus on some of my pile of paper work, finish my Product Creation System, and post some more articles at EzineArticles.

Anyway, I have probably rambled on a little too much for now, so I will sign off, & look forward to chatting with you again soon.

BTW. I have also recently setup a Helpdesk system, where you can get in touch with me. This is also a work in progress. Come and visit at http://support.webworkscentral.com

To Your Success,

Rob Willis

Efficient Time Management In 5 Simple Steps

February 5th, 2010

Being master of our own life and time is attainable, simply by aquiring and practicing 5 time management skills.Of course, these have to be learnt and improved over time, but you really have to start with the basics in order to make your planning useful and accurate. The first step for success is preparing a simple to do list and ranking your tasks in terms of importance, but there are other aspects that you need to think about as well.

Estimating with reasonable accuracy how much your planned tasks will take you, is something that you have to do. To master this particular time management technique, all you require is to use a simple activity log. You will be able to assign your time better, if you begin writing down how much time all of your normal work and daily jobs take you, and it will also help you to pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. This will also assist you in identifying your priority tasks.

Consider procrastination as if it were the plague – avoid it at all costs. Conquering this skill is probably the most important. Normally most of us procrastinate simply due to fear of failure or lack of inspiration. You must understand why you are procrastinating and do whatever you can to overcome this problem.It is a good idea to set a reward for completing a task you are procrastinating about. Think about al of the negative results of not doing the assignment at all, and you will get motivated in no time.

Another of the indispensable time management techiques that you need to master, is that of Motivation. Identifying your own motivation is an absolute necessity, you cannot rely on others to constantly be there to encourage you. Use whatever approach it takes to motivate yourself. Having a positive mindset will allow you complete even the most daunting of jobs.

Stress Management is another important skill you should learn. If things don’t go the way you have thought, stop and turn to your source of motivation. To avoid stressful situations, you might also want to allow more flexibility in your plan.

Another time management skill to master is to arrange your home life. You can improve all the other important techniques such as stress management and motivation, simply by allocating some time just for yourself.

Time Management – The Most Crucial Items You Have to Understand.

February 1st, 2010

With all the data available today on time management, the whole subject can simply become a bit confusing. Most time management tips and ideas that are available, just tell you what to do instead of explaining the how and why behind the advice. Many of the systems and guides that are available today, are simply not applicable or relevant to you or your situation. So prior to employing any tools, ideas and techniques, you should get your head around the basic concepts .

Time management cannot be assigned a precise definition however it can be simply described as a set of techniques allowing you to use your time in terms of efficiency and by doing this you are supposed to achieve success and harmony in all aspects of your life. With this in mind, you may think about questioning yourself if you have the need to be more time efficient.The fact of the matter is that many of us need the skills to achieve a certain degree of organization, but it is important to understand that time is not ours to control.

An essential part in your time management, is what the personal factor will play. Techniques and systems that you are offered are simpler to evaluate. once you understand this rule.You will discover that you do not require much more than the basics for effective scheduling and planning – an easy way in which to prioritize your activities, a relatively precise judgment on how much time each item takes you and some kind of a personal organizing system (be it a diary, notepad or electronic) in which to allocate times for every activity you have to do. Going into more detail about time management is often not needed unless you have to set a method for schedulling and planning or ammend it to work in your particular situation.

One of the most vital things you must understand regarding time management is that it is there to assist you and not the other way round. It is far more crucial to focus your energies into completing your activities than on planning them to be done more efficiently. Being realistic about your capabilities, strengths and weaknesses when putting together your schedules will assist you to truely stick to your plan and accomplish all your goals and dreams.

A New Beginning

February 1st, 2010

Well it is now official!!

As of today, I start my new adventure as a full time Internet Marketer.

Of course as I step into this new venture, I have mixed emotions. Fear, Trepidation, Excitement, Relief. However, I am not going to let anything get in my way to making this work.

Now I understand, that in and of itself, Internet Marketing is also a job, however it is a job that you can do from anywhere, as long as you have a computer and an Internet connection.

Also, I understand that in the early days/months of Internet Marketing, there is a lot of work in putting down your foundations and creating products. However in the long run, not as the amount of effort required to make money in this arena, becomes less and less (if you do the right things, on a consistent basis).

There is however the need to treat this as a job in the early stages. Make sure that you put in the time to make it all work.

I know working from home can be very distracting, especially when your work involves the Internet. It is so easy to be sidetracked by email, Facebook, Twitter, and other web sites. All of these are important, but if they are not done in a controlled manner, you will find that they will simply stop you from doing any real work that will ultimately make you the money that we all want to be making.

This is why, the first product that I have created & am launching here today is the “Time Management Mindset“.

You see, as an Internet Marketer, we need to manage our time more effectively than those that have jobs. In a job, you have a boss that usually makes sure that you are getting your work done. But as an Internet Marketer, you only really have yourself. So at all times you must make sure that you are doing the most profitable task at any one time.

Sometimes, the most important task will be to spend 30 minutes on Twitter or Facebook. Other times you should be in the forums, asking questions and helping others. Or you might be answering emails, and responding to support requests. Or most importantly spending time your time with family & friends.

You see without a proper Time Management Plan, our priorities can get all screwed up. We start to spend Major Time on Minor Things, and of course, Minor Time on Major Things.

So if you are interested, I invite you to visit my latest site; The Time Management Mindset.

To Your Success,

Rob Willis
