Are you in the routine of constantly buying into different programs like the routine that other people fall into. I am not saying that this is a bad thing, it is a bad thing if you want to make money, but we have to face and look at what we are really doing. What is going on with our time when we are suppose to be marketing.
Now, what is the solution for this. Do it but do not spend all your time doing it. Allow yourself certain time to do it, if you want to check your email and look at sales processes and look at your email at everything that is coming in, full around with the search engines, set aside time for it. If you have a job and you work during the day, if you have a family you have to spend time with them, eat dinner. But whatever time you set aside for your business and by the way your business should be treated as a separate entity, you should a lot a time for you to check you email and look at the search engines and stuff like that.
The next question you probably want to ask yourself is how much time should I a lot for this. Well, allow fifteen, thirty minutes, an hour, that is all I would allow, I am not saying that I do not do that myself, I do check my email and stuff like that, but I a lot a time for myself to do that because it can become very unproductive. And basically when you are doing that you are not generating anything to make you money. Well, you might say that you are looking for products in your email and looking up in the search engines to help me market.
Well, if you already have stuff that you already bought, which nine out of ten people do that are teaching how to market, look at that material, spend your time reading. So I highly suggest that you do that. So let us just say that you have two hours a day, or three hours a day or four hours a day and you spend that half hour or hour doing emails, search engines or fooling around, well, now you have three hours to do the work that will make you the money. What things make you money.
Well, creating your sales process, your lead capture page, or your auto responder series, or if you already have that done, putting up new ads that go to that lead capture page that fall into your sales process. Finding new target markets, finding new keywords, putting up ads, following up, if you have some kind of follow up process, if you do a call a day, whatever you do, that is all part of making money for yourself. And you will soon find out, if you ever interview people that make ten thousand dollars a month, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, eighty thousand, a hundred thousand, you will find out that they are not there all day and all night trying to make that money.
You will find out that they probably will only spend two hours a day, two to four hours a day to make that amount of money. And occasionally when they are working on developing something, they might spend eight hours a day, or ten hours a day, but it is not for that long. And if you look at that from other people that work jobs and spend forty hours a week and some people work overtime, fifty, sixty, eighty hours a week, or if you have two jobs, it just does not add up, you are right, it does not.
That is why life in the home based business, when you do it correctly and apply the right marketing strategies, apply the right target process, the right marketing formula, you can make as much money as you want. I am not going to steer you wrong, I do not hide anything, as far as what I am sharing with you about marketing or what you should be doing or should not be doing, I might be blunt sometimes, but that is good, I do not beat around the bush. I routinely preach against top earners, heavy hitters out there or sponsors that lead you in the wrong direction telling you to do one thing when in actuality your sponsor, or the heavy hitter or top earner is doing something else.
