Ten Things You Need To Know About Making Extra Cash Online
- There Ain't No Free Lunch - Everything in life, including making money in cyberspace, comes at a cost. Whether it's actual money or investment of time, energy, thought, or effort, every opportunity, every choice carries some sort of cost. If you are presented with an opportunity that claims that you don't have to do anything to make money - it's probably a scam. Thomas Edison said, "Opportunity is missed by most because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.
- Slow And Steady Wins The Race - The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion... It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree [Alexander Graham Bell]. Any opportunity that claims someone has made vast sums of money as proof that their system works should have a prominently displayed disclaimer stating what the average income of it's participants is or that this particular participant's results are not average. No statement to this effect should raise an immediate red flag.
- Once And Only Once - One of the most important activities of making extra cash online is record keeping. Record keeping could be as simple as the transaction logs in the members area of a program you are participating in or as complicated as tracking multiple promotions, test products, sites, campaigns, and advertising networks as well as your time and any capital investment. Spend some time deciding on a sensible way to manage all the data. The rule of thumb is to handle each piece of data one time, and only one time and to maintain only one copy of each piece of data.
- A Website Is Not A Business - A business can have a website, as can an organization, group, or individual, but a website, in and of itself, is not a business. A website is a wonderful thing to have for someone who wants to do business but it not an absolute necessity. There are some very easy programs to make extra cash that can be very profitable without having a website.
- Everyone Is A Marketer - A lot of people cast a scornful look at anything even remotely connected with "sales", "marketing", or "promotion". The truth is. . .every single one of us is a marketer by nature - we market our skills and experience when we interview for a job, we market our personality and dependability when we develop intimate relationships, we market our integrity and character when we run for office. Even the child who asks permission to do something is "marketing" when they tell you all the reasons why they should be granted said permission. Marketing is not a dirty word (false advertising, however, is).
- Markets Are Conversations - If you have never read The Cluetrain Manifesto we highly recommend it. It is a document that anyone, in any size business, in any country, should read and take to heart. Our world has been changing ever more rapidly and will continue to change at an accelerated rate. Consider the theses of the cluetrain manifesto in your own business model.
- The Real Bottom Line Is Value - People have no objection to a business making money - unless that's the only thing the business is interested in. If a business wants to be profitable, and continue to be profitable, even during a recession, it must focus first and foremost on providing a product(s) and/or service(s) that are of unequivocable value to its market. If you already have a business evaluate your offerings using this measure - and the only way to determine if your product(s)/service(s) measure up is to ask your market ... remember, markets are conversations.
- Divide And Conquer - Identify those tasks that are important as opposed to those that are urgent and allow time for both. Prioritize both the Important list and the Urgent list based on probability of the event occuring or of a negative result of not taking action and the degree of impact the results would have. Break up large tasks into smaller steps.
- Don't Mistake Activity For Accomplishment - It's very easy to get swept away into unproductive activity when there's no boss looking over your shoulder. Even though you are working from your home, you are still working. Manage your work time wisely even if it means having to tell your loving family and friends that, while you would love to talk/play/visit/help them it will have to be outside of your "working" hours unless it's an emergency. Avoid, at all costs, the accomplishment-killing surf zombie syndrome (SZS) - you know, where something catches your interest and you start reading and surfing related links and googling related terms and 3 hours later you wonder why you haven't finished anything?
- There Is No Such Thing As Failure - There are only results. You will always succeed at producing results - whether they are the results you want or not are the question. To get different results change what you are doing. Thomas Edison said regarding his invention of the electric light bulb, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. "
