There are only 24 hours in a day and as much as we would like to change that at times it is a fact. When you are trying to finish a project or increase your success you really want there to be more than that. There never seems to be enough hours in a day to finish all of the things you want to finish.
Here is where setting up systems can definitely help to jump start your efforts. For this discussion we’ll use list building as the basis but the technique can be used to systematize any facet of your business plan.
If you are using some of the techniques in Opt In Master Course you are gathering subscribers through a variety of means. (Traffic exchanges, Safelists, Ezine Ads, Article Writing and Distribution, Co-Registrations, etc.) Some of these techniques take time on a regular basis. You have to spend time or money to get your pages viewed in the traffic exchanges, submit your safelist ad, etc.
Others work on a once and done basis. You write and submit an article and it can continue to work for you on an ongoing basis. Co-registrations continue to work for you every time you send someone to your thank you page. They don’t take any more of your time so that once they are completed you need not continue to do that work over and over.
Now the way to truly leverage your efforts is to create systems that will continue to work for you with minimal effort. Buying co-registrations can be one such way to do that. The key is to find a way to monetize your purchase.
If you could spend a few dollars to get additional subscribers then find a way to get your costs back or at least break even wouldn’t you continue to do that over and over? I know that I do it all the time.
If you set up a follow up series for your new subscribers and can generate a sale or two of one of your products won’t that replenish the funds you initially spent? Take the time today to look at your business and see if there are ways to apply this principle to your plan.
Remember that each item you systematize helps to increase the number of free hours you get out of the 24 hours a day that are available. Isn’t that freedom one of the reasons you started your on line business?
