Chapter 4: Invest Your Time And Retire Early
Now that you know the different revenue models which you can use for your business, you need to start developing a plan on howto invest your time and efforts to get your plans and strategies in place. Remember, the sooner you start taking action, the sooner you will start to see your business grow. Listed below are a few of the most helpful tips that can help you in achieving your goals.
Think Long-Term
If you want to be able to quit your job, you have to stop thinking about earning just enough. Always remember the reason why you need to keep building and expanding your online assets—to build an online business that is sustainable and able to provide you with consistent income on a regular basis. Think long-term and create long-term goals.
If you aim too low or just focus on earning now, it’s easy to fail because, whether we like it or not, we often fall short on our goals and don’t meet our expectations. This is why it is really important to aim high. Having ambitious goals will make it easier for you to take small steps toward them. Set long-term goals that you intend to reach within a given amount of time, and then set short-term goals which outline the details. This will enable you to take small steps each week and see completed goals, which will motivate you to reach your long-term goal.
Create Your Business Based On Your Interests
It is much easier to manage a business that you are passionate about. Yes, there are online revenue models that can lead to great financial gain, but if you are only after the money it will be harder for you to achieve financial relief. If your business does not revolve around products, services and topics you are passionate about, not only will you not be able to sustain your interest in them and have a hard time learning about them, but promoting them will also become impersonal. People will be able to sense the insincerity and if nobody wants to follow you or be part of your list, sooner or later, you will just decide to give up.
Building your business based on your interests has its advantages. If you are passionate and interested about what you are doing, then you are more likely to stay motivated and interested in the work that you are doing. This is what will make you get up in the morning and be ready to work.
To ensure the success of your business, you need to be able to enjoy the process regardless of whether you are seeing progress or not. Of course, nobody wishes for their business to fail, but in the event that it does, you will have enjoyed yourself and gained experience from which you can learn, should you want to try again. So figure out what really interests you and what you are truly passionate about and then choose which revenue model is suitable. Knowing what it is that gets you going in the morning is what will truly make earning money from your chosen online business easier.
Invest In Your Business
You should expect to make some investments, depending of course on the revenue model that you choose. If there are areas of Internet marketing that you know nothing about, then you’ll have to invest in outsourcing those tasks or invest time in learning about them. If you want to have your own domain name to make it easier for people to find and remember you, then you will have to purchase one and pay for it yearly. If you want to jumpstart your business, then you might have to spend money on advertisements.
Creating a business online might not cost you money, but building it up and maintaining it does. There is little truth in being able to build a business online for free. However, it is generally far cheaper than creating an offline business and there are some clever inexpensive ways you can build your businesses up. Therefore, be prepared to spend some money on your business, but remember that spending more doesn’t always mean you’ll earn more.
Having a job while trying to build a business can be advantageous, as you can invest some of your salary to get things started. Learn how to invest your time and money wisely, so you achieve your goals faster and get the best results possible. In addition, as a person with a start-up business, you have to come up with innovative ways to entice and attract followers and visitors. A lot of Internet users get bored easily and are fed up with seeing the same campaigns and marketing strategies over and over again.
So every time you create a post or send out an email, be sure that it’s something new and fresh. Continue to expand your marketing and constantly be re-evaluating and improving your campaigns. If you keep relying on the same marketing strategy and don’t make an effort to keep up with the times, you’ll get less than optimal results. Get ahead of everyone and keep a close eye on developments and shifts in marketing, advertising and communication.
Also take note of your visitors, clients and customers’ feedback every time you make a change in your advertising and marketing. Their reaction will allow you to evaluate your change/s in strategy and help you decide whether to continue that approach or to create a new one.
Be Your Own Person And Follow The Path You Want
The idea of earning a living off of the Internet is a foreign concept to so many people. If you tell people about your plan to create a business online and eventually quit your 9 to 5 job, especially within a short period of time, expect to see eyebrows raised and people looking at you strangely. In most cases, they will try to discourage you, which is why you have to have a really clear set of goals that you will follow and always keep those goals in mind.
Be your own person and never let anyone’s opinion influence or change your goals. Do not let what they say discourage you; because once you let them affect you, your goals will never become reality. They will be tainted with fear and eventually regret.
