First and foremost, preparation is everything.

As I am sure that you have noticed, I haven’t posted anything further in the last couple of days.  This is of course because I have being preparing.

While money is easy to make, it can also be quite hard at the same time.  You have literally millions of people that you are competing with to make an internet fortune.  So, if you ever plan on making any money online – you must have a plan of action.

So what kind of plan am I talking about?

Well….first, I’d highly that you write everything down.  Any plan that you create should be well choreographed (just a fancy word for a sequence of events).  Everything needs to be laid out prior to any work actually being done.  This helps you to know what exactly the tasks are that you need to complete on any given day.  This will also help you track what you have done and what works and what doesn’t.

For example:

Start by writing down the broad tasks that you are going to complete.  Such as…

• Twitter Marketing
• Craigslist Posts
• Forum Banner Ads
• etc…

Ok, now that you have your broad tasks written down; this will keep you on track as you write down a plan for each broad task.  This problem with many internet marketers as they start out is that as they begin, they don’t stay on task and often move from task to task without completing or sticking to their initial tasks.  Because of this, many internet marketers make little to no real money.  ”Pop” change is made overnight, real cash and revenue is always made in the long term.

So how would you go about creating your task plans?

In this example, you will simply be writing down the task, frequency of the task, and the task to be completed.

Individual Task Plan Example:

Task Title: Twitter Marketing

Frequency: Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Tasks: 

1. Choose a niche/keyword
2. Create WordPress auto-blog
3. Grab feeds related to niche/keyword
4. Setup Twitter Auto-Posting

This is of course an example, but you will want to be as detailed as possible.

Now that you have your tasks all laid out, it’s now time to get started.  But be aware!  Staying on task is the key to making money.  The moment the you start to get side-tracked is the moment that you start to lose money!
