Not Making Any Money Yet ? This Is Why!

I think all of us who are on this BHW wants to make a life for themselves making money online. But the problem with 99% of the Internet Marketers is that we don't make any money compared to the time that we spent online doing various methods. And the rest of the profitable 1% will not (and rightfully so) share their "secret" on how to actually make money.

So it all comes back to the risk and reward. If you tell me I have to work 18 hours for the next 3 months and I can start to see $500-$1000 income/day, I would do it in a heartbeat. We are all just trying to find a way to make a living....

printing it, and gonna read it along with my manifesto till it is stuck in my head... thanks

facebook games is distracting.....you're very right.....why not throw in some facebook fanpage and promote it through sharing....since you've made alot of friends in facebook. social media is just another tool to promote ur website.

Thanks for this,

An eye opener for me

A really good and inspiring post ! Thank you for this

Very true, sounds kinda silly but you have to realize you do have to put in work to get paid. I make most of my money online selling services but I have only been full time at it for a few months. A few weeks ago I lost all motivation and, even though every day I would get up, come to the computer and "sit down to work," I was totally unproductive and couldn't get motivated for days and days. Fast forward a week and I am totally screwed, pissed at myself and scrambling to get orders done because I just paid bills, have no money, have more bills coming and can't take more orders till I'm done with the ones I have. Obviously, not a good place to be.

I read "Eat that Frog" (productivity book, google it you can find a free download very easily) and started doing a lot of the things in there and it helped but I still had a hard time being productive. Then I stumbled across a little gem called Focus Booster (google "focus booster", free app! I can't post links yet..) which has no joke changed my life. I have no idea why it works so well for me but it does and I am getting a lot more done now. It is a digital time for the pomodoro technique (25 minutes work, 5 minute break, repeat) and I think the visual reminder on my desktop helps. I just make sure I stay focused for 25 minutes at a time and it is working much better for me. Then, if I want to tool around facebook or check my stats repeatedly, I do it but only in that 5 minute break period.

Cyrus, I think you hit the nail on the head there.
I used to work in construction here in Ireland, and basically you work from 8 am - 5 pm each day and you have no distractions because you are always at something and you treat it like a real job. Working for someone else basically.
I.M. is a real job but its up to the individual to get the money and be the boss of themselves. Its harder, cause I.M. is nice business where you stay in the "COMFORT" of your own home, and I think 'comfort' is some of the problem. There are too many easy distractions for us, like games, facebook, whatever you're into. See ya can't do that on a construction site. The only thing I used to play with on the site was me shovel and concrete, it kept me busy anyway.
Cryrus said it more clear though.

• Clear all the distractions
• Avoid all temptation
• Set your goals and tasks for the day
• Be in a healthy, non distracting environment, like a sun room with all windows open, very healthy, oxygen and sun is great for the brain
• Maintain Momentum of work, I find that when I am productive, my productiveness keeps getting better and I get more things done cause the momentum of work being done was flowing, ALL until something knocks you out of your workflow like a tv show or something. Its hard to start the work again cause you lost the momentum if you understand what Im sayin'.
  
  Its the same with construction though, I remember doing paths outside a house and we were flying through the whole house pouring concrete, you know, we were on a role until we seen someone and started talking shit, it was harder to start again than it was to keep going.

Thats all I got to say.

This is a great thread unless your business is facebook marketing

Add "don't open or read email until the end of the day".

I have found that by starting with reading emails, it takes me a whole different direction than what I wanted to spend my time doing.

nice writeup, I think a lot of people know these things and know exactly what needs to be done, but just get frozen with inaction

Nice write up except you forget to mention the mindless twats that phone and want to chat about shit and waste the short working day you have. I have invested in a portable building just to get away from these pricks. I really do not need to be called on a daily basis, you may be bored with your job I am not I am here to make money

Thanks for this.This looks very inspirational and I just deactivated my facebook.Its really eating away my time.

Thanks,
tillu

Today morning thought not to enter into facebook that distracts me from my work often.. After reading this post, i directly deleted the account and bookmarked the thread..

Now 2 Advantages:

1. I cant go back to my facebook even if i wish..
2. I will read this post whenever i feel kicked back and pull my energy up..

So made some strict rules to make my IM more productive..

Thanks Cyrus for the aweosme post..

Thanks for your great post I've already bookmarked it ! This is lifecoaching, all the people nowadays have all these kind of problems you mentioned. Focus on goals, so simple but very hard for most of us

Very inspiring! Thanks for the share OP

great post.. couldn't be more true. just take action, and do it NOW!

Inspiring stuff ! Now to get rid of those distractions Easier said than done living in the land of smiles. :nap:

No need to delete FB if that's where the $ is coming from though

And once you get money enough to be satisfied, you will have no one to tell it about and also no one to share money with... That is sad
