  You need to understand that I am still employed. I really hate that, I’d rather be a full time Internet marketer. But in this day and age I am really grateful to have a job. So many people are finding themselves out of work after devoting so much of their lives to something and then, poof, they are on the line.

  Well the point of telling you that is that I have only a certain amount of time that I can devote to my online business and that is one of the factors that can really sink you in the water.

  You must be able to prioritize your life. You have to clean your house, do the laundry and do the shopping and if you have kids, well is there any end to it? See what I mean? Throw an actually JOB on top of all that and you can become undone.

  The problem of working from home is that everything else becomes more important and demands your attention more than you “work”, and if something is going to be cut it is going to be your online work.

  It’s a fact! I am living proof of this phenomenon. It doesn’t matter if you are male or female. The fact is you can only do so much with your 24 hours.

  People won’t take your work seriously until you do.

  Think about this. If we didn’t have our JOB’s and we were dependent on our online work for our income, how would you react then?  Do you see what I mean?

  We MUST treat our online work as a business that can and does make us money. Otherwise we will always figure out a way to do something else and maybe fit this in someway or other. But without having a set pattern and an aggreement with ourselves and also our families,  that we will work this many hours on these days, no matter what!, we will find success extremely difficult.

  Now of course, later when we are established and doing well, we can afford the luxury of being more relaxed and lenient with ourselves.  But not in the beginning.

  I only just learned this in the last few weeks.  I was having serious information overload and reading so much that I felt like I could only chase my own tail.  I was never getting anything accomplished.

  Well no more! I have  exercised some discipline in my efforts. I have organized my inbox so that I can look at things of interest when it is the appropriate time. Not when I need to get some things accomplished today. Do you see what I mean?

  So make a contract with your self. Set up a schedule. Decide what you want to do and DO IT!

  To our success,

  Susan

   I think you have a great idea for a website, Susan. I do make a living online and have a few suggestions to help.

   If you are using adsense to monetize, I would move your ads up “above the fold”.
