INTRODUCTION:

Use this planner to map out your year in monthly increments. Each month has a day where you can enter your plan and then follow the execution of that plan.

At the end of the month there is a section where you can summarize all your KEY achievements and review your time spent. This will allow you not only to feel pride for what you have done but also see where all your interruptions are coming from.

Note: This planner should ONLY be used for DEDICATED project time – ie WORK hours, or what you want to classify as work hours. Family time and holiday/vacation time should be excluded.

In reality, the whole thing is what you want to make of it. It’s YOURS to do with as you will and to USE as you will. You can even use several ACTION PLANNERS for separate projects if you want. It is entirely up to you!

YOUR PLEDGE:

This ACTION PLANNER will only work if you USE it. Accordingly, I would like you to make the following pledge: I ……………………………………… will faithfully record ALL my tasks in this time planner. My project is called ……………………………… I am signing my name here ……………………………………….. as my personal pledge of commitment and I do this on this the ……. day of ……………………………….. in the year…………. I know that my word and my signature are my bond and there is NO person more important than me when it comes to personal commitment and integrity to follow through.

8 – At the end of each month spend half an hour filling in your summary. This will allow you to see your list of achievements. It will also permit you to zero in on activities and people who “waste” your time. You can then take measures to minimize or stop the time wastage.

That’s it. It’s EASY.

It’s up to you exactly how you want to use your action planner and what entries you want to make. Enjoy it and realize the power you now have over your time.

Umabot ka na sa chapter na ito, at oras na para sa matinding pagkilos.

Narito na tayo sa ikalawang "major component" ng IM, at ang sinabi ko ay ito ang "Advertising".

Ngayon pala ay babaguhin natin ng kaunti. Nagkaroon ako ng "enlightenment" mula sa aking IM coach, na nagpahiwatig sa kanyang ebook na hangga't maaari ay iwasan ang term na "advertising" at bagkus ay gamitin ang "marketing".

It makes sense. "Marketing" is the second word of our industry.

Sa palagay ko ay tama nga naman. Advertising kasi ay impersonal. Marketing ay iyong pagpapakita talaga na merong "connection" o kapakinabangan para sa audience ang product/service mo.

Ito ay bilang reminder na ang ating gustong mangyari ay makabuo ng makabuluhang relationships at makatulong sa mas nakararaming tao hangga't posible.

Pero sa ating pag-uusap, gagamitin ko pa rin ang parehong term, "advertising" at "marketing". Yun nga lang, tutukuyin ko ang "advertising" bilang pamamaraan ng pagpapakilala at hindi para magbenta. Ang "marketing" naman ay paraan ng pag-recommend.

Huwag kang mag-alala, hindi natin kailangan talaga ng tinatawag na "hard selling". Ang mga customers at business partners natin ay handang bumili mula sa atin, basta matukoy nila na sobrang importante para sa kanila ng ibinibigay natin.

Sandali, ano nga ulit ang pangunahing tungkulin ng isang Internet Marketer? Ang dapat lang umubos ng ating oras sa IM ay ang pag-advertise, pag-promote o pag-market... sa paraang nakikipagkaibigan tayo.

It makes sense. "Marketing" is the second word of our industry. If this still does not make sense to you, please restart reading Chapter 4 of this Ebook.

Hindi ito mahirap. Baka narinig mo na rin ito: ilang beses kang merong nabiling pagkain na bago sa panlasa mo at ibinalita mo sa mga kakilala mo na masarap ito, bumili sila at nagustuhan din?

Ganyan ang istilong nais mong gawin.

Babala pala: kung sa palagay mo ay ayaw mong mag-promote o mag-recommend, o nahihiya ka, o sa anumang kadahilanan ay wala kang gana o oras na mailalaan dito, ang IM ay hindi para sa iyo.

Social networking isn’t a new phenomenon. It wasn’t invented in the twentyfirst century. Every Elks Lodge, Lions Club, Chamber of Commerce, Church, Sewing Circle, Book Club, etc. that ever existed afforded an opportunity for social networking.

The members of any social networking group identify with and help other members of their group. They provide information to one another that is mutually beneficial.

They share when something of interest or something of concern is happening that is of interest to or a threat to their particular social network and the members collectively pursue the interest or ward off the threat.

Many times social networking groups are work related. For example you have very likely heard of the way that law enforcement personnel stick together and ‘watch each other’s backs’ so to speak. This social networking group is often referred to as ‘the long blue line’.

Another work related social networking group is long distance truck drivers. By using their CB radios, they stay in contact with one another and warn each other of road hazards. If one of them has a problem, others go to his or her aid.

Social networks have been around probably since the beginning of time in some form or another but the advent of the personal computer certainly put a new spin on social networking. Web 2.0 has really kicked social networking up several notches.

No longer is social networking limited to people who work at the same jobs or who live in the same communities. Social networking is now world wide and easily accessible to everyone who has access to a computer and an internet connection.

It all started with the advent of instant messaging technology but it has grown far beyond that limited ability. With instant messaging it was necessary to let others see your email address and so you lost much of your anonymity. In today’s Web 2.0 world, social networking and complete anonymity are both possible.

The online dating sites are a very good example of this compatibility. People can register and pay for memberships on online dating sites and conduct an entire relationship for many months without knowing other members real name, email address or the name of the city in which they live. All communication is conducted on the online dating website itself thus affording both social networking and anonymity.

This is contrary to what many people want to hear, but it’s a great idea to have some seed money to invest into your new venture. You’re starting a business remember? Everyone will be trying to sell you the story, “You don’t have to have money to make money,” but in reality, it’s best if you do.

Too many people expect to be able to start a thriving business without spending a dime. While you can start working online with no out of pocket expenses, you won’t be able to start the kind of business that allows you to quit your job right away if you’re determined to do everything for free.

Paying attention to this step in the process will make the previous steps much easier. If you have some cash to invest in the tools you need to succeed, it makes much more sense to quit your job and focus fulltime on your Internet marketing strategy.

And your spouse or family will take you far more seriously (in most cases) if you have some working capitol to play with.

Even a small amount of start-up money is far better than making the leap with empty pockets. How seriously would you take a person who tells you they’re starting a business, and then tells you they don’t have two nickels to rub together?

Be honest - you’d probably think they were being ridiculous.

A few examples of basic tools and resources you might need are domain names, a web hosting account, money for site building software or a web design service, and a keyword research tool.

For as little as $100 you can cover the basics and have a reasonable foundation for your first foray into e-commerce.

If nothing else, spending a little money on some great training information (such as reputable eBooks) is a very wise move. After all, you’re new to the Internet marketing game. Spending a few bucks on some expert advice can make a big difference in your results.

Ideally you can use your start-up funds to create a monthly operating budget for your first 90 days. Having this kind of security net in the beginning can lift a lot of stress off of you and help you focus on the best possible marketing plan in the shortest amount of time.

Do anything you can to come up with some initial cash. Beg, borrow, scrape - even have a yard sale! Get creative and generate even a small amount of funding and you’ll be in much better shape than somebody who tries to slide by on the freebie program.
