The Top 3 Money-Making “To Do” Activities
By Jimmy D. Brown
Running A Successful Home Business
I’ve always been impressed with those who can take overwhelming
things and handle them with ease and poise. It never seemed to work
that way for me, until I discovered the secret for tackling those
daunting tasks.
The secret is simple: make things simple!
With just about every major undertaking, things can be simplified
into a handful of “core” components. That makes them manageable.
Manageable fosters productivity simply because I can work on
something that seems accomplishable. And when productivity goes up,
desired results come.
I received the following question from one of my clients…
“If you have to pick, what would you say are the top 2 or 3 things
we should concentrate on? I’ve heard the domain/site(blog) are the
most important, then others say writing info products, others say
lists. For short term and long term investment, what is the most
important things to be working on?”
This client wants things simplified. And rightly so. He knows the
secret to success is getting things down into manageable chunks.
So, what are these core practices for building an internet business?
There are three things - and three things only - that you need to
concentrate on with your business…
1. Offer Development.
You cannot make money online unless you have an OFFER. It’s that
simple. Unless there is some way for income to be generated, you
can’t get paid. End of discussion. Every business is founded upon
a revenue-generating offer. Now, this can either be your own offer
(small reports, ebooks, membership sites, coaching/consulting,
advertising, etc.) or something you promote as an affiliate and
earn revenue for referred sales.
2. List Marketing.
The fortune is in the list. You’ve heard it an untold number of
times in the past, right? Building and profiting from opt-in lists
should be a major priority on your schedule. You need to devote
yourself to attracting new subscribers and then getting all of
your subscribers to spend money with you … by purchasing your
OFFERS (see #1 above).
3. Traffic.
The third and final thing you need to concentrate on is “traffic”.
This includes both traffic GENERATION (getting visitors to a site)
and traffic CONVERSION (getting that traffic to buy). This includes
things like: starting an affiliate program, buying PPC ads,
participating in joint ventures, utilizing viral marketing tools,
raising your visitor value, tweaking your sales pages, etc.
With each of these categories, you have a variety of options to
choose from in directing your attention. It would be foolish for
me to say “grow your affiliate program” as your number # traffic
activity since I don’t know if you even have your own product to
sell. That’s why I don’t recommend specific activities, but rather
three key categories of business-building.
With each of these categories, find 2-3 activities to work on each
week and you should see results in a short amount of time.
I recommend you work on offer development every Monday, list
marketing every Tuesday, and traffic generation every Wednesday.
If you just spend a couple hours each of these days working on
these core parts of your business, sales should come.
In a nutshell -
- Find an offer to promote.
- Setup a list to promote the offer.
- Drive traffic to the list opt-in page.
Keep it simple. Keep it successful.

What do you do for a living? If you’re like most people
that walk this planet, you work for a living. Not only do
you work, but you likely gained your position of employment
through someone else. This is not necessarily bad. It’s
often easier to invest your efforts into something larger
and more secure. Well, at least large companies should be
more secure. Unfortunately in the real world you’re merely
a cong in the machine and they can do away with you at
will. That’s just the way the corporate world tends to
work. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. However,
what would you say to a passive residual income that
requires less effort? This could be your solution to a
better lifestyle with more capital and ample free time.
Let’s examine the perks of a passive residual income. For
one, you can essentially work for yourself. This is
obviously a perk since you won’t get fired working for
yourself. Secondly, many jobs that lead to a stellar
passive residual income can be done online. Maybe you want
to sell a particular custom product you make or maybe you
sell through a third party and simply collect a percentage
of the profit from each sale. Think about all the sales
that could be made in cyberspace while you’re sleeping.
This is what residual incomes are all about. Oodles of
individuals are seeking out passive income by building
websites and web pages. Money can be earned this way
through affiliate programs and major search engines such as
Google and Yahoo. When it comes down to it, there truly are
countless ways to acquire a passive income via the web and
you can become a part of it all. You just need to take the
first step and understand that residual income is real.
Take note of helpful advice found on websites such as
isitebuild.com, which explains eight different ways to
effectively earn a nice passive income. Just so you keep it
in mind, there are benefits to working for yourself; like
setting your own schedule, working the amount of hours you
choose to, spending more time with family, working from the
home, not being able to get fired and greater profits from
the time you invest. Start making your passive residual
income today!
