Neil Shearing’s Internet Marketing Strategies

Just yesterday I wrote about Allan Gardyne’s thoughts on staying focused. Now, I don’t know if it’s my antenna just being “tuned” to thoughts on staying focused because I’m so bad at it, but I noticed in Michael Campbell’s newsletter today he mentions the same topic in reply to a subscriber’s question about creating sites that generate Adsense revenue…

===

You mention focus… which is key. It is the ONE thing, above all others, that will help you succeed. Go with
these three tools for the first three months so you don’t get distracted by other things.

1) Article Underground
2) Cheney’s AdSense Videos
3) XSite Pro

The other KEY point, is that you mention the word “work” twice, and that you “Intend to work at this 3-5 hours per day.” That’s really all it takes.

Think of it like starting a exercise or fitness program. For the first three months, you might have to drag yourself to the gym. After that, your body gets into a rhythm and you miss working out if you don’t go

Making AdSense revenue sites is a lot like that. The more you put into it, the closer you get to your goals, whether it’s having a little extra income or quitting the day job and kissing your boss goodbye.

Dreams can come true. And I wish you all the success you can dream.

With a little hard work and focus, your dreams become tomorrow’s reality. They have to… they have no choice, for you have already lived them in your mind. And tasted them with your desire. Hold your focus and you will succeed.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Simple Visualization Eliminates Procrastination

My advice for novices… just get started. Fear, uncertainty and doubt, all melt away once you start taking action. For you intermediates facing the computer and not feeling like working today…

Look at it this way. You have a pile of 100 stones and you have to move them. Every day life piles on two more stones. If you don’t act, the next day you’ll have 102 stones to move. Imagine how big the pile will be at the end of a week, or 160 stones by the end of a month. Stay with that image in your mind… feel the pain.

Ok… here’s how to feel better. If you act on it now, and remove five stones per day, even though two get added per day, you’re down to 97 stones at the end of the day. Tomorrow 94. Pretty soon, you’ll be able to keep up with just maintenance, moving two stones per day.

Getting motivated is as simple as that little visualization. Just think of how big the pile will get and how much more there will be to do, if you don’t do something about it.

Don’t just think about it. Write it down on a sticky note and paste it to your monitor. Make a promise to yourself that you’ll do it.

Now imagine for a moment the task is complete. Imagine how good you’ll feel. Close your eyes and relax a moment, enjoying having accomplished what you promised yourself that you would achieve.

Open your eyes again. Remember how good it felt getting it done. Remember how bad it felt procrastinating over the big pile of stones. Now which way would you rather feel at the end of the day?

Procrastination leads to anxiety and fear. Taking action leads to peace and happiness. Which path will you choose for today, tomorrow… and the rest of your life?

So there you go… just work and stay focused.

Much more easily said than done.

You know, it’s no surprise that out of all the newsletters I subscribe to, and have ever subscribed to, those by Allan and Michael are the only two I look forward to getting and reading from beginning to end. Their newsletter issues are always jam-packed with quality information. Other people’s may amuse me, some people’s I learn a thing of two about marketing from, but most marketer’s emails just hype another sale. Allan and Michael really care about helping other people become successful. That’s a role model to emulate. Be successful by helping others.
