Hey all… I am pushing toward my goal of $50 a day in adsense, and I am happy to say things are moving right along. I hit $9 yesterday! Yeah! Of course, with adsense one the things that is important to know is that you can make $9 one day and then $3 the next and that is perfectly normal. It can kind of freak you out though.
Over at wp goldmine a few days ago Rachel mentioned the rule of 5 from Jack Canfields success book. If you don’t know he is the guy from chicken soup for the soul and the book is quite good, I’ve read it. The rule of 5 is simply doing 5 things every day to move your business forward. It doesn’t matter what they are, as long as you are consistent.
Well with internet marketing the tasks can get a little overwhelming and somewhat repetitious. There is always so much to do between building new sites and promoting them, and of course there is always expanding old sites (lots of money to be made that way). So the rule of 5 really helps me to cut to the chase so to speak.
I have been writing down what 5 things I MUST get done in my business for the next day before I close up shop that day and then I do those things. Today, I knew I had some stuff to get accomplished with Girl Scouts, so I scheduled 5 shorter activities. They are crucial, just not ones that take me a long time. It is now 11:21 in the afternoon, and I can break for lunch, get dressed (because I am still in my PJs) and get my girl scout stuff done.
Before I implemented the rule of 5 I would have felt guilty, but not now. I know I have made a dent in my online business today. Yeah!
Happy business building to you!
Heather
