There is nothing like being held publicly accountable for making me take the extra steps and really push myself forward to achieving the goals I set myself. I’m determined to make 2010 my best year yet, for all aspects of my life. Yes, I am dragging myself away from being a workaholic to having a more balanced life. What that looks like at the moment, I haven’t a clue, but I’m sure my daughter will have some shopping plans in there somewhere with me!
I’m all for working smarter and multi-tasking so I’ll be taking a marketing tactic each month and focusing purely on that tactic for the entire month. The fine details still need to be figured out, but there is no point giving something a half hearted effort or having a scattered approached (looks sheepishly at the floor) so I want to see what effect 12 months of focused effort to ONE marketing tactic can make to my business, as well as to see which marketing tactics work the best.
Although I’ve picked up lots of different tips and strategies over the years, I still have a huge yearning to learn more, and more, and more about internet marketing and what strategies you can use to improve your chances of running a successful online business. However, now I am learning then APPLYING. This makes a huge difference to your results – sounds simple but how many tactics do you learn about, think how great they would be for your business then NOT apply it? Unfortunately lots of the theory I had learned, turned out not to be so great in implementation while others I loosely tested turned out to give a great result, so focused more on those.
My biggest passion is learning something and then passing that knowledge on to others, well the bits that work anyway! So each month I will be producing a case study on each internet marketing strategy. You can try this yourself. Pick a strategy, monitor and document your progress then sell the product (if/when you are successful).
2010 is a year for focused action and big thinking. What can you achieve during 2010?
