30 day plan - Internet Profits - Day 1

The following 30-day 'Internet Profits' plan is designed for both beginners and the more experienced to put to use and easily start pulling in a steady stream of online profits. It incorporates many of the things I do in my own business(s) and I think some of you will find it useful (or at least interesting).

I will try to post this 30 day plan in 'real time' but it will remain on this blog afterwards so you may find that you are starting your 30 day plan in a different month (or year!). Whatever date you are starting this plan, I recommend that you stick to each day as it comes and don't skip ahead. Your 30 day plan could potentially be the beginning of a successful business - it is worth taking the time to do it right.

Good luck!

Day 1: Develop A 'Success Mindset'

The first day is about finding your center and creating the right mindset! This is extremely important! Without it, you will have a difficult time finding success.

You can have the best tools and strategies at your disposal. But if you have a poor attitude and mindset, those tools and strategies will not do you much good.

If you want to succeed, you have to pull out all the stops and use all that you have. And your mind is the greatest asset you possess.

First of all, realize the simple fact that every problem is really an opportunity in disguise.

If you are brand new to the Internet marketing world, you are extremely fortunate! Because, you have to opportunity here to start from scratch!

You don't have to pick just another job and get stuck in it again. You have a chance to pick something that you actually enjoy doing!

The only way is up from here. And that's what we will focus on. We have an opportunity here to find what we are really passionate about and do that!

I would use this day to clearly outline a few rules for myself to follow, for the rest of the 30 days, and beyond:

  • I will realize that my failures are in my past. They're gone, old news. I'm not going to dwell on them or beat myself up over them. Today is a new day and I'm going to make a fresh start! I will simply learn from my mistakes and forge on ahead!
  • I will not worry or panic about my current financial situation, as that will not help matters at all; it will only slow me down. If I run across any problems or challenges, I will spend very little time focusing on the problem while spending most of my time focusing on the solution!
  • I will also realize and keep reminding myself that every problem, every challenge has within it the seed of a new opportunity! And that's what I will focus on - the opportunities.
  • I will spend the next 30 days focusing only on success, optimism, solutions, and on moving forward.
  • I am going to keep the negative people out of my life for at least the next 30 days.
  • I will remind myself that this is totally doable! There are people out there with much less intellect and resources than me that have created amazing successes on the Internet. If they can do it, I can definitely do it! All I need is to take action, pay attention to where I'm heading and improve accordingly…and persist!
  • And finally, I will realize that this world really is a place of abundance. Just look around. You've got the entire Internet at your disposal! And as if that were not enough, you've got public libraries full of information and knowledge. It's yours for the taking. Put it to use! Everything you need is there, including money. We just have to put forth the action and claim what's ours.

Every morning, before I do anything else, I will remind myself of the above. My goal is success and that's all I'm going to focus on. Failure is not an option. If anytime during the day, I begin to feel down, I will go through the above list again and get back in touch with what's real.

Every night, before falling asleep, I will visualize myself as having already reached my goals, as clearly and vividly as I can. I will also get in touch with all the feelings that go with that vision and really embody the experience. I will see myself exactly as I want to be, living the life that I want to live, enjoying the things and experiences that I want.

This is my primary focus for the next 30 days.

Please do the above every single day! I cannot stress the importance of it enough.

Remember...

You can have the best tools and strategies at your disposal. But if you have the wrong mindset, those tools and strategies will not do you much good.

Get your mind firmly focused in the right direction and the rest will fall into place!

Believe That It’s Possible For YOU!

You have to believe that you CAN get whatever results you're after. If your goal is to earn a million dollars, you have to convince yourself that you can do it.

The easiest way to do it is to spend time looking at the successes and millionaires around you. Read about them. Watch videos about them. Listen to others talk about them. Do whatever you have to do to FOCUS on success, and spend time around like-minded people.

Something very interesting happens when you shift your focus in this way. See, there is a universal law that tends to attract to you whatever it is you most focus on. Whatever you focus on most gets drawn to you. Don't ask me how this happens. (Actually, I do know how but explaining it will take several pages). ;-) Just know that it's a proven fact. Like energy attracts like energy.

For example, when you start taking guitar lessons, you will suddenly find that there are so many others around you who are also into guitars. They are drawn to you. You suddenly become aware of like-minded people simply by focusing in a certain direction (in this case, guitars.)

So, start looking for proof around you. Read stories and case studies about others who have already earned a million dollars. Let the stories motivate you and make a believer out of you.

The reality is that whatever it is that you want in your life, you can have it, IF you first believe that you can have it. Believe at the core (not just on the surface level) that it is possible, that it's doable.

If others can do it, you can do it. It's that simple.

The next thing you want to do is to learn to relax. The more relaxed you are, the more efficiently your mind (and body) will function.

Here's a simple relaxation technique you can use to center yourself: Lay down in bed or sit in a comfortable chair. Close your eyes and start taking deep, slow breaths. Let your mind go from all other thoughts and just focus on your breathing. In and out. With each in-breath, see yourself filling up with energy and vigor. And with each out-breath, see all the stress, tension, worry and confusion drifting out of your body.

Do this for 5 to 15 minutes every morning, and a couple of times during the day when you take breaks. It will center your mind and relax your body. Both are essential for optimum performance, and success.

And finally, you have to keep your body healthy! Your body is your vehicle, without it you won't be able to do much. Keep yourself well nourished and hydrated throughout the day. When we are faced with tough situations, we tend to abuse our bodies with unhealthy foods and drinks. Make an effort to not do this. Avoid junk foods, high-sugar foods and drinks, and alcohol. For the next 30 days, make an honest effort to eat healthy so that your mind and body can function at optimum levels.

It is also very useful to add in at least 20 to 30 minutes of brisk walking into your schedule. You can do this in the mornings, at noon, or in the evenings. It's your choice. If you can't do it every day, do it at least 3 to 4 times per week. This can also be a time for you to take a break from everything for a few minutes. I find it very useful to grab a notepad or tape recorder while I go on my walks. The very moment you let go of everything is when some really great ideas come to you. (It's because your mind has a chance to relax and roam freely.)

To some people, this all may seem like unnecessary work, but it's absolutely critical to your success that you do them.

Now that you've taken care of a plan for your body and mind, it's time for the next step.

As A Man Thinketh - Free Audiobook

As A Man Thinketh by James Allen :' “They themselves are makers of themselves.”
…by virtue of the thoughts, which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.'



A free audiobook of 'As A Man Thinketh' is available here:
As A Man Thinketh Audiobook

**********************

Man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.


Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life. He also reveals, within himself, the laws of thought, and understands, with ever-increasing accuracy, how the thought-forces and mind elements operate in the shaping of his character, circumstances, and destiny. binaural beats

Thought and character are one, and as character can only manifest and discover itself through environment and circumstance, the outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state.

Ultimate Wealth Package Review

'The Ultimate Wealth Package' is a product which arouses a lot of interest from potential work at home moms but the question I keep getting asked is 'is it worth it?'. Depending on how many times you've been around the internet marketing block you may find that it is just reinforcing things you already know you should be doing (though perhaps have not done yet). If you are fairly new to internet marketing and the whole idea of having your own website, then this package is a 'one stop shop' of pretty much everything you need to get started (Vol. 1 Guide To Internet Marketing is over 300 pages alone and covers everything from making an attractive website, to afilliate and email marketing, starting your own newsletter, getting traffic from the search engines, and more). All areas are covered in the package: internet marketing, ebooks, opt in lists, making money as an affiliate, blogging, public domain, joint ventures, making money with ebay, making money with Google, even how to develop the right mental attitude. In the members area there is a learning centre full of articles and audio interviews (with 20 of the best known internet marketing 'gurus') and a bonus download section packed with lots of PLR articles, PLR ebooks and software and ebooks to use and resell (several of which I use on a regular basis myself).


Screenshot of the Ultimate Wealth Package members area.

Not sure how you would use PLR articles and ebooks? The possibilities with PLR are endless, you can edit them, rewrite parts, add to it, read it out loud and turn it into an audiobook, make a viral report or ebook to generate traffic to your website, use the content for your blog or website, make it into an ebook you can sell or offer as bonuses. You could even just read and use the information yourself and apply it to your own business and benefit in that way.

This is no magic button, but if you are prepared to actually do something with the information / products in the Ultimate Wealth Package, then it is definately good value for money and could certainly jump start your earning potential online.

Writers Block

You have everything ready, a drink, a snack, the topic, and even reference material. You sit down ready to start writing, and it happens. You are stuck, your mind is blank and you have no clue how to fill the pages in front of you. It is a writer’s worse nightmare come true.

You have writer's block.

First you need to figure out why. There are a multitude of things that could be causing it. Stress is one of the biggest factors that causes writer's block. Whether it is stress caused by personal matters, deadline dates, or simply fearing your work won’t be good enough, stress can block the words from flowing as easily as they should. A lack of sleep is another common cause - when working to a strict time deadline it is hard to believe that stopping to sleep can be a good idea, but sleep deprivation prevents your mind from functioning at its full potential. Getting a good night’s sleep is imperative to having a clear mind and being able to focus.

It could be the project itself that is causing the writer's block. A topic you are not interested in can easily turn your normally resourceful mind into jelly. The research on that topic turns into a grueling task. Trying to put the words on paper so that they make sense and will peak someone’s interest seems impossible. If a topic has personal meaning to you it can be hard to write objectively about it. Writing because you have to, not because you want to makes it hard to concentrate and focus. A simple informative topic can easily become a personal rant session.

Thankfully, writers block is not permanent. Identifying the underlying cause is the hard part.

Ways To Overcome Writer's Block

Relax.

The world is not going to end if an article isn’t as perfect as you feel it should be. Just because you don’t think it is perfect doesn’t mean someone else won’t. Go and read some of your previous writings, or perhaps something from one of your favourite authors. Even if what you read has nothing to do with your current topic, it can be inspirational to you. Don’t burn yourself out on a topic. If you are writing articles try to split up the writing process. Research and brainstorm one day and write the next. This will give you time to think about your topic and figure out the angle you want to write.

Talk your way through it. Call a friend or colleague and chat. Tell them the topic you are working on and get their opinions or ideas. They may be able to offer a fresh insight.

Make yourself a schedule and stick to it. If your schedule says 500 words by noon, write your 500 words and stop. Even if you don’t have a project going, by writing daily you will stick to your schedule and keeps your imagination going. If you write from home, which most freelance writers do, make a quiet time and treat it like a real job. If you have young children at home, write while they nap. Let your answering machine be your secretary - if it is important they will leave a message.

Work on multiple projects at one time if you can. Bouncing back and forth between a few topics can keep your mind hopping and will keep boredom at bay. Take a break from you current project and write about something that motivates you. Chances are once you get those creative juices flowing they will continue into your next project.

Take a nap. Some writers find that taking a nap can break their writer's block - the time spent napping recharges their brains and refreshes them enough to get back to writing. Other writers, however, would consider a nap a waste of time and would rather hop on to a different project while they are waiting for their creativity to get going again.


Take a break from thinking: walk the dog, sit in the park, do a bit of gardening, even doing the washing up can break a writers block (several times I have found inspiration starring out of the kitchen window up to my elbows in soap suds!)

Most importantly
REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED WRITING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Even the best of the best have suffered from writers block at one time or another.

Figure out what works for you after a series of trial and error so that the next time writer's block strikes you know what to do to get yourself back on track. GOOD LUCK!

Free Website Software

It needn't cost a fortune to get your own website up and running. There is a free website creator software called nvu which is almost as good as any of the 'professional' software available.



As you can see from the screenshot above, it is a wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) editor. It is quite simple to use (similar to using a normal word processor program) and has all the features you would expect from top website creator software.

It can be downloaded from http://www.nvu.com
