Work From Home Tips

When you are working online, you must create a system and work that system. Why a system?

A system holds you accountable. A system allows you the opportunity to track and test and make adjustments. A system gives you the framework to share your success with others.

So once you have your system, are there a few tricks and tips and techniques that can help you go ‘over the top’? You bet there are!

Here are just a few:

1) Try tracking your sales rather than your opt-in rates. It is really easy to keep track of opt-in rates and use that as a gauge for the success of a traffic source. But if you track each sale back to the source, the sales might tell a different story.

2) Get more organized. Create a new folder on your desktop. ‘Online resources’ In that folder, have a collection of other folders, one for each type of product or tool or email you receive. It is too easy to save free gifts, tools, and quality emails for your swipe file, but when you are looking for them a month down the road, you have no idea how to find what you are looking for. You don’t remember the cryptic name you saved it under (as3rfgh56.xyz). You don’t remember which file your computer so helpfully suggested you place it in.

3) Send your email list a survey. What do they want you to write about? What products are they looking for? How can you better serve them?

4) Change up your signature on your email from time to time. Maybe you have a new web site or a new affiliate program most of those on your daily emailing list have not seen. After awhile, your same old signature becomes boring. Change it up!

5) Go back to the basics. When you hit a plateau, ask yourself what you did when you first started growing. You may think, but that was so amateur! But who cares, if it was creating growth. Do what works, not what everyone else thinks you should be doing.
