Are you ready for the new year?

by Mike Paetzold

Once again a new year is approaching. As the Holiday season begins and marketing slows down now is the time to look at what you have accomplished for the year and more importantly what you want to accomplish next year.

Planning is crucial if you ever expect to be successful. Ask yourself the following questions and please, please, please be honest with yourself.

1. Do I have a concrete goal for this year? This must be specific. Everyone talks about goal setting being crucial and it is. How can you get to where you want to go unless you know where that is. You are not going to be successful by accident. Make your goal and write it down. Yeah, yeah I said write it down because if you don’t you haven’t made the commitment to fulfill it. Tell others what it is. That is also making a commitment. One of the hardest things working on line is being by yourself in front of the screen and no one to hold you accountable.

2. What did I accomplish this year? And did it move me closer to my goal? If you have not accomplished what you wanted this year look at what you have. (I know I haven’t and probably never will or my goals are not high enough). Write down what you can change to make your results better. Start planning what you need to do to better meet your goals next year.

3. What books, articles etc am I going to read this year to improve my efforts? It is really important that you continue to learn and try new things. It is not always comfortable for you but it is necessary. If you are not happy with your results learn something new and DO something new even if it is a bit uncomfortable at first. This is how we grow.

4. What is my budget going to be for my marketing efforts this year? It is important that you allocate both funds and time for your business. Budget these things now and you will know what you can and can not do to improve your business. This will also help you not to get overextended in both your financial and family life. Remember that your family needs some of your time too and if you have a time budget and keep to it they are usually much more supportive of the time you use to commune with that little box on your desk :-).

Take the time now to do these things and surprise yourself with your results this time next year.

Soren Jordensen has announced that he will be closing Viking Safelist. This has now been removed from the course. I am looking for good credit based safelists ideas and am currently going through a review of all the recommended programs in Opt In Master Course. Please post any suggestions in the forum.

Marlon Sanders just released a new product that is a rarity. It is as close to a must have for anyone serious about marketing on line as any product I have ever seen. It is called Design Dashboard. I bought it and have learned a lot from it. The price is quite affordable at $59. I normally outsource all graphic work on my projects and will continue to do that for most things. However, the ease to use has allowed me to make a few graphics by just following the buttons. For more info check my regular blog later this week at Mike Paetzold Recommends.

Look for a section to be added on properly using forums soon. Forums can be a good source of targetted traffic to your squeeze page when used properly. They are also evolving and one of the newest is Conquer Your Niche from Russell Brunson. It is not only a forum but almost like a traffic exchange. You earn credits for posting and reading posts that allow your ad to be rotated on the site. Due to this it is extemely active and a nother source of targetted traffic for you. Check out Conquer Your Niche today.**********************
