The REAL Secret to Building A High-Profit Internet Business
My wife laughs every time she sees me doing it. At least once or twice every week, I'll be at my desk (or
at the dining room table) with my Franklin Covey planner
open and a stack of laminated checklists in hand. "What are you doing, honey?" she calls, already knowing
the answer. "I'm planning", I reply with a smile. She laughs and I get back to work. She laughs because she swears I spend half of my time
"planning". But, if you ask me how I'm able to get as
much work done as I do in only 3 hours a day, I'll point
to a black Franklin Covey planner with about a dozen
laminated checklists inside. Building an Internet business is easy. Seriously. I'm
not saying that it's not complicated, because it is. I'm
just saying that it's easy to accomplish if you just have
a system in place. There's very little in this world that can't be
accomplished with the right set of action steps in front
of you. Today, I'm going to give you such a system for building
your Internet business. There are only 4 steps... 1. Decide What You Want To Do. Do you want to run an
eBay(R) business? Be an affiliate marketer? Buy and sell
reprint rights? Get involved in niche marketing? While
all of those things will likely find their way into your
plan in time, you gotta begin with one thing at a time. My recommendation: Choose a "broad" topic you are
interested in and begin building a list of folks interested
in that topic. 2. Determine A Weekly Action Plan. After you decide what
you want to do, it's time to determine how to get it done.
What I do is this: I create a weekly set of action steps.
That is, I have a set of things I do on Monday, on Tuesday,
and so forth. Decide how many hours (as little as ONE) you
want to work each day and schedule yourself a reasonable
amount of things to get done in that time frame. Repeat
this process week after week. My recommendation: Begin writing ezine articles to
promote your list ... and affiliate programs. It's the
easiest way to get free traffic and build your list at the
same time. 3. Devote Yourself To Staying On Schedule. The important
thing here is to stick to it. The easiest way that I know
of to make certain you develop discipline in your schedule
is to NOT set unrealistic expectations. Give yourself ample
time to do each day's action step - don't overschedule.
Look for progress along the way to celebrate. Reward
yourself when you've reached a milestone. And, remember,
you're GROWING a business. Just like physical growth, it
takes time ... it WILL happen if you remain committed. My recommendation: Weave in simple activities related to
the following categories - List building (ezine articles),
product creation(conduct interviews or hire ghostwriters),
site development (making your site convert more visitors into
buyers),and education (continuing to learn new ways to grow
your business). And for more ideas on how to work more effectively and
deliver your planned projects, read through the resources

better at working with your lists, creating products and
tweaking your site, you'll want to continue to improve your
business with new ideas, strategies, tools, and resources.
The key is simple: never stop learning! Visit forums. Read articles. Download reports. Identify
sites and resources that CONTRIBUTE to your success in
educating you. You want faster results, bigger increases,
automated processes, and other ways to get more accomplished
and more profit, with less work involved. Everything depends on your developing a plan and sticking to
it. And that is the REAL secret to building a high-profit

DOI, a Proven Marketing Tool for Driving Traffic and Increasing Search Engine Rankings
The Digital Object Identifier otherwise known as the DOI is not
new. The history of the DOI started when a group of major book publishers realized that the digital age was imminent. They needed an online cataloging system for books on the Internet, not just on book shelves. The ISBN had taken them as far as they could go and was a great bar coding/cataloging system for physical books, but it was not practical for "virtual shelves" where ebooks or digital media live in databases and hard drives. Publishers who use the DOI call it the "digital ISBN." Because of this need, the DOI was born. Now, the versatility of the DOIs are finding their way to other industries.
