Are you a perfectionist? Perfectionists make great procrastinators. They can’t do the job because they want it to be perfect first go. You can’t write a manuscript of publishable standard first go. No one is that good - not even Stephen King. Having a time limit for a task and knowing that everyone makes mistakes will help the perfectionist in you to let go. You want to write that book so do it and give yourself a time limit for the first draft to be completed.

Are things of very high importance hard to get motivated for? Avoid procrastination by making sure the stages to reach your goals are in small measurable steps. If fear of failure is making you procrastinate work out how you can overcome this fear. Is there anyone who can help you with this task? Do you need to learn more before you tackle the project?

I recently found out how important incoming links are to a site. I have one site that had made it up to a pagerank of 6. For some reason it went from about 2,500 links down to about 800, and the pagerank went down to a 5. Five is still good, but not nearly as good as a 6.

So now I am working on getting more links to the site. For that I depend on Social Power Linking to show me how.

Jack Humphrey is a master at getting links. He is completely white hat, above board, and does not teach anything that could get your site banned. I like that.

There are many ways to get visitors, such as article marketing, leaving comments (not spam) at various niche-related blogs, submitting to social bookmarking and social news sites, putting up Squidoo lenses, and so on. Some people who read your articles, see your comments, or visit your Squidoo lens will follow the link to your site.

But the rules are constantly changing. Now there is Twitter, Mashable, Pownce and more that you can use to drive visitors to your site. How do you keep up with it all? Where do you hear about the latest Web 2.0 techniques?

You can join social sites such as Social Marketing Central (click the link in the sidebar). That’s a social site, similar in purpose to Facebook and MySpace, but for marketers interested in Web 2.0. At Social Marketing Central people discuss the best Web 2.0 tools. There is no charge to sign up.

Today I signed up for Niche in a Box, a membership that gives you everything you need to create a number of web sites each month based on one topic. The topic for April: Skin care

For many months I’ve been very careful to not spend any of my money on gimmics. I’m very happy with my Authority Site Center membership and a few memberships to PLR article sites. But Niche in a Box struck me as something that is high quality that could generate revenue.

Basically, each month members get to download about 15 web sites that include 20 PLR articles (high quality, I’ve already checked them out), sales letter, blog, web site, ebook, autoresponder messages, and so on. There are 52 blog posts pre-written that you can drip to your site for one year. An autoresponder membership is provided (a $19.95 a month value). So there is no need to sign up with Aweber if you don’t already have an account.

Building an email list is one of the best ways to make money online. Recently I made a purchase that included the following audios as a bonus that I could sell or give away. The audios make up a long teleseminar with Liz Tomey and Jeff Dedrick, two people who make a living online. These people know what they are talking about.
