The excitement of starting your own blog and internet business creates a tendency to explore many ideas and options. This is normal but don’t bite off more than you can chew – start small and stick to an action plan.

There is no bias, introverts and extroverts alike will look at various opportunities and forget about making a game plan.

Big mistake! Starting small and following through with one action at a time will achieve a much greater result than trying to start big with lots of different actions. You will lose benefits along the way.

The next mouthful can wait

This is what makes the difference between an amateur and a pro. Taking small bites will create a shorter line from distance A to distance B, bringing success sooner rather than later.

A quick example. There are many formulas for internet marketing that suggest making money online by creating a site that will make you a small amount every day, say $1. Then rinse and repeat to make your target. So if you create 50 sites you can make $50 a day, which is $1500 a month.

It is a method that can work but it counts on the fact that everything will remain the same. That traffic will still come from the same sources and that your money will remain steady.

concerted effort

If it doesn’t, you will find yourself struggling to keep up with changes that you will have to apply to more than 50 sites, perhaps multiple changes with many hours of work. I’ve made the mistake of getting excited about so many ideas and working on too many of them at the same time.

Now I’ve cut my number of sites in half because so many of the domains I registered never even got of the ground. There just isn’t enough time. And I still have too many sites. I’m working on shaving them down even more.

Wouldn’t your time be best spent concentrating on a handful or even 1 site and sticking with it until you have a powerful site, strong following and good cash flow before you spend time on several dozen unproven sites?
