The Secret To Getting Results In Your Online Business

The Secret To Getting Results In Your Online Business:

A Simple Guide for Focusing On Revenue Generating Activities

1. Identify the revenue generating activities in your online business. These are activities that are going to generate cash instantly, activities that are going to provide you with direct opportunities to grow your business, and activities that are going to bring more customers into your business.

Specifically, these activities may look like: pitching to your list, creating a product, submitting a proposal, hosting “live events” (like a webinar), or hosting a sale on your site.  If you want a brilliant explanation on maximizing your business activities, check out this article by the amazing Charlie Gilkey, The 3 Goals of Any Business Activity. You won’t find a better summation and application than that.

2. Establish your revenue generating goals for the week. If you’re going to arrive at a specific destination, you need to map out how you’re going to get there. The same goes for making sure that you are doing work that is actually lending itself to making more money. Decide which activities you need to do at the beginning of the week, so that you can set your mind to your desired outcome. Your intention and action may not always align. Consciously connect your intention and action so that you do work worth doing.

3. Outline each and every step you need to take to achieve that revenue generating goal. Avoid feeling overwhelmed by whatever you’ve set out to accomplish by breaking things down into micro steps. Setting yourself up to succeed goes a long way in helping your level of productivity. Once you break your objectives down into bite sized chunks, you’ll be ready to rock n’ roll!

4. Block out uninterrupted time to work on completing a specific step or number of steps. Now that you know exactly what you need to do, make the time to do it. Schedule “sacred” time where you can focus on doing the work that you need to do. If you don’t schedule that time, and treat it as sacred, other “opportunities” (to procrastinate) may tempt you out of doing the work that needs to be done. Put it in your calendar, write it down on paper, and commit to yourself and your online business.

5. At the end of each time block assess what you’ve accomplished to determine whether or not you need to modify or maintain the sequence of steps that you have set forth. It’s important to celebrate what you accomplished to stay encouraged. And it’s equally important to acknowledge where you’ve gotten off track. If you truly want results in your online business, then you have to measure what you’ve done so that you can decide what you need to do next.

Rinse and repeat this cycle, and watch your online business blossom.

Ultimately you will only develop a sustainable online business when you learn to focus on revenue generating activities, or as Mr. Gilkey would say “high value activities.” Unfortunately, it’s not always an easy thing to do. You have to set your mind to this type of productivity, and discipline yourself to work your plan. Doing so, however, will make all the difference in whether or not you make a buck or go bust.

Making Money with Twitter Tips and Ideas

We’re all wanting to make money and why not start making money with Twitter if we’re already using it and online? I’ve had a Twitter account for a little over a year. I was hesitant at first to get one. I thought, really?? People are doing this? It seemed silly and how much could you possibly say with only 140 characters? There were many videos making fun of the whole idea of Twitter and making fun of the people using it. Twits.

Twitter WAS a Joke to Many

Several comedy videos came out about Twitter and how it was the biggest waste of time and how most tweets were mundane and not worth reading. And then the tide started shifting. Celebs started tweeting. After that – seems like everyone had a Twitter account. And then of course monetizing would soon come – and now many are making money with Twitter.

So I created my Twitter account. Yes…I can be found here: http://twitter.com/HBBM – my account is for Home Based Business Mom – but really covers all my websites.  I’m getting close to 1000 followers. I don’t really heavily pursue followers. I did at first and it just got tedious and weird. So I stopped. If people want to follow, great – if not….whatever. I never liked any kind of pressure pushing….so I love to have followers and I’m thrilled when someone follows me, but I want them to WANT to follow me.

Making Money with Twitter – How?

So making money with Twitter – that’s why you’re on this page, right? Along with the explosion on Twitter….you knew there would be someone, somwhere trying to monetize it. And well…that’s happened. Now using me as an example, someone that has about a 1000 followers and

Sponsored Tweets

isn’t out there beating the internet for followers – the first thing that comes to mind is SponsoredTweets. This is a program that pays you to tweet to your followers. You’re basically sending ads to your followers. That’s how you’re making money with Twitter – using your popularity basically. Is it worth it? You decide? You can see a screenshot of my SponsoredTweets account. You can see that I can make almost $1 for sending a Sponsored Tweet to my followers. So if I sent one a day – that would be around $30 a month. Maybe not the billions you were thinking someone would make, but I AM making money with Twitter.

So someone that really worked on building a huge following and had the attention of their followers could make a lot more. Granted – not many of us are going to garner the number of followers a celebrity has – but if you have a decent website or career that you can start creatively tweeting about and gather followers – then you could make some easy cash. I think trying to get into the $5 or $10 a tweet range would be well worth it. If you sent one a day at $10 a tweet – we’re talking $300+ bucks a month.

The key is getting followers. You need to be engaging. Have a topic you love. Be active with your social media efforts. If scrapbooking is your thing – well – create a Twitter account that reflects this and start tweeting about scrapbooking. You get the idea.

Take the Steps to Start Making Money with Twitter

When signing up for your SponsoredTweets account, remember – there will typically be offers in their waiting for you to run immediately if you already have  a decent list of followers. Now – before you get dollar signs in your eyes – these tweets may only pay out like .02 cents or something. But as you continue to grow your followers list – there will be more money to be made. Some that are lucky enough to to get to 100,000+ followers, which by no means is a high range for followers can get paid $250 a tweet in some cases? So NOW is it worth creating a Twitter account? Granted – it may start out as a very nominal chunk of change at first – but if you’re serious and want to start making money with Twitter, then this is a way to begin that process.
