Over the last few blogs we have discussed the best ways of trying to make your website or blog attractive to the search engines and how the search engines work. There is one important factor we have not yet discussed and this is you and how you are actually going to fulfil your dream of having a home business which works and how you are going to succeed in Internet marketing.
One great way is goal setting.
What is goal setting?
Goal setting is working out what you want to achieve and how you are going to do this. Sometimes this will seem like an impossible task but if you break down those goals into small segments they will seem much more achievable. Lets look at an example. You want to leave your job and set up your business full time but you only have 2 hours per night to work on your Internet business. You know how much you earn now and how much you need to earn to leave your job. Some people call this your financially free target. Rather than thinking “Oh my I will never earn that”, and give up before you began you can break it down into achievable bites.
You set a plan of what you will achieve the next year, which could be as simple as I want my website up and running and I want to be making £100 per month. Then you need to break this down further into months. So for example this month I will research my product and set up my website and then break this down into weeks. So start with Monday; check the main sites for my product; Tuesday look at other people’s blogs; Wednesday research keywords on sites similar to mine, and so on.
This will take commitment on your part but unless you make this change and start setting goals you will never leave where you are now.
Entrepreneurs often talk about taking action and setting goals is a great way to start. Look at where you really want to be, believe you can be there and start making goals. If it helps print off the house or the car you want to have and set it as your screen saver or put a picture on your wall.
Whatever motivates you do it and don’t forget where you want to be.
