Some people when planning the goals and action plans of their business draw out a massive plan of attack. Although it may look good on paper, this may end up being a larger hindrance then it is a help. If you take a couple minutes and read this article you will learn the immense benefits of creating tiny “bursts of energy" action plans instead.
That’s right, a tiny action plan. I do not want you to build or create this big, elaborate action plan. All I want you to do is decide on one, easy, simple project and break it down in to teeny, tiny steps that you would implement over a one month period.
You want to work in intense bursts. Break it down in to half hour periods throughout an entire month, and just work intensely for that 30 minutes.
Here’s a saying that I want you to write down and always keep near you. “You don’t have to get it right. You just have to get it going."
Let me repeat that. That’s a gem. You don’t have to get it right. You just have to get it going.
This whole online business industry is built on momentum. Momentum. It’s like a snowball. You just start it off small. You can’t build a huge, big snowman right off the bat. You’ve got to start with a little snowball, and then you start rolling it. And you roll it, and it gets bigger and bigger and bigger.
The same principle applies to the information marketing industry. You create one product, teeny, tiny product. Maybe it makes you $100 a month.
But then you work from that teeny, tiny product and you build a slightly bigger product, or a complimentary product, and you package them together. Or you add another element to it, like audio or video to it. You slowly build from that point forward.
But where we get caught up is we try to take in all this information. This person’s got a new strategy for this. This person’s got a new strategy for that. This person’s strategy’s bringing in $10,000 a month from Google Adsense and this person’s strategy is bringing in $5,000 a month from this and that.
Wowsers! I lose my breath when I try to read all these things. Just focus on one teeny, tiny action and then move forward from there.
When I started doing that, all kinds of things started to open for me because all this noise was completely shut out and I started to make progress. It was unbelievable. Here I am, at first I thought I was worrying about keeping up with the latest things, and I was buying this product and I was buying that product. Oh my goodness, I have to do this. I have to do that. Gees Louise! I never got anywhere. Just focus on one easy project, break it down over a one month period, and remember: You don’t have to get it right. You just have to get it going. You can tweak it later. You can build on it later on.
The key here is implementation. Repeat – meaning you implement some more. And then what happens is your implementation process gets faster and faster and faster, and you’re able to start completing projects quicker. You build that momentum. Money starts coming in from your small projects, but it’s coming in, and you’re building bigger projects and bigger money starts coming in.
This is when it gets real exciting. I’ve experienced it. Trust me when I’m telling you believe in the process. Start as small as you can and build from that point forward.
If you follow these simple steps, you’ll find yourself moving forward at an exponentially quicker pace than if you try to do every little thing at once.
When it comes down to it, the name of the game is FOCUS. Try it and you’ll see for yourself!
Examples Of Action Plan
So here's Matt Bacak's three step action plan for those starting an online business and selling a info-product with very little start-up cash.
Step 1: Set Up Your Website
Set up your web site with a compelling sales letter. If you hate copywriting then you can hire someone to write the sales copy for you from sites such as Elance, Rentacoder or Guru. Alternatively, there are some excellent sales letter software programs that you can choose from. In addition, you can also use these sites to find website builders as well.
Once you've written your sales letter you also should consider having an opt-in page so that you can start capturing the names of visitors to your website.
Step 2: Set Up Your Autoresponder Series
Here you can re-purpose the copy for your sales letter by breaking it down into small components that focus on the benefits of your product.
Using this autoresponder series you can continue to promote your digital product to those who opt-in to your list but do not immediately purchase your product.
You can choose services such as Aweber or GetResponse to set up your autoresponders.
Step 3: Generate Traffic through Article Marketing
Matt Bacak advises writing ten articles as quickly as you can and submitting them to key article directories. You can use your resource box to drive people back to your opt-in page.
Obviously, the more consistently you write, the better your results from this traffic generation method. Here are three key advantages of using articles as a traffic generation strategy:
1. It can be done for free unless you choose to use a ghost writer
2. Even if you choose to use a ghost writer costs can be quite low
3. Article writing can have immediate, short-term and long-term benefits as, once published your articles are permanently in cyberspace and their reach can be far and wide.
Initially, you may want to just start out by submitting articles to a few strategic sites but to achieve a wider distribution you can use an Article Submission service such as ArticleMarketer which offer a low-cost, yet efficient service to distribute your articles to thousands of sites. They even offer a free service to 29 sites.
Another top automatic article submission service is provided by SubmitYourArticle and you do want to automate your article submission to free your time to allow you to focus on income generating activities.
In addition to the website already mentioned sources of ghost writers or freelance writers include iFreelance and GetAFreelancer.
If you want to write your own articles but hate writing try speaking your articles. Some individuals find it much easier to talk into a microphone and this can be a relatively quick way to create articles. You simply get your audio recording transcribed and after, hopefully, minor editing you have a written article.
An advantage of this method is that you have both written and oral content and using both on your website or blog will increase access to your material. Just as you may not like writing; some people don't like reading and prefer to use their hearing modality.
So there you have it an easy-to-implement three step system for making money online.
