Time Is Money: Concentrate On the Most Profitable Projects
We all know that time is money, but how often do we put this into practice?
Recently, I’ve found that I haven’t been giving my time the respect it deserves. The problem with internet marketing is that there are an infinite number of projects and ideas you could work on. Newbies in the industry often find themselves running backwards and forwards from one plan/guru/idea to another, not really knowing where they are going.
I’m not suggesting to have only one project at a time. I love always having another project to work on if I get stuck on something and need to take a break, but I always try to focus the majority of my time on the things that are most likely to be successfull.
This doesn’t just apply to internet marketing. Today I was thinking about selling my old and broken laptop on eBay. But then I realised there’s some info on the hard drive I’d like to irradicate first before I sell it, and I have no idea how to get to the hard drive to wipe it as the laptop is broken.
Now, the maximum price I reckon I can get for the laptop sold as spare/repairs is £40. I know from previous experience of trying to physically fix technical things that it’ll take me a long time to work out how to wipe the data of the hard drive. A few hours work at least I should think, and I’m not wasting my time doing that for a one off £40 when my internet marketing efforts can produce the same amount of money week after week without me even doing any more work.
My advice to you is: focus most of your attention on the projects that you envisage the most success with. This is hard for newbies who don’t really know how likely things will be successful, so the best thing for them is to stick to one or two ideas that a more experienced marketer have verified as being viable.
