How many times have you heard this saying in Internet Marketing circles? I’ve probably heard it oh hundreds of times over the years.
It’s a saying that is commonly used about increasing your profits online. I usually glaze over the saying not thinking much about it. It makes sense. If something is working for you then all you need to do is continue doing it and doing more of it…right?
How many of us really take that advice to heart? As I stated above I usually glaze over it probably because it has become so cliché.
Earlier I was reading a report from Earn1KaDay.net (just joined this community and I’m loving it – you can try it for 10 days for just $2.95) when I read that saying again. But this time it hit me like a ton of bricks.
It hit me like a ton of bricks this time because I realized that THAT is exactly what I’m doing and why I am seeing the success I’m seeing.
This month has been my best month online – ever. I’ve surpassed goals and hit some personal records and I’m on track to meet some major goals of mine.
It’s so simple, why do we complicate things?
I suspect that it is because we are not focused. I know I constantly fight with staying on track. My brain is always trying to come up with something new or different or better. While this is good generally speaking…when something is working well for you that is NOT the time to get off track!
So the question is…do you wanna thrive online? Then the message is…
If something is working for you…LATHER, RINSE, AND REPEAT for more profit.
What do you think? Are you really doing more of whatever is working for you?
Hi Lisa,
I know what you mean about hearing that phrase so often you don’t pay attention to it.
And what you say about staying on track and repeating successes rather than jumping to something new or better is so true! “While this is good generally speaking…when something is working well for you that is NOT the time to get off track!”
So the challenge is to recognize what is working well (sometimes I don’t stop long enough to think about it) and do that again. Only this time figure out a way to make it faster to produce and even better for my customers.
Congrats on your great month and surpassing your goals, Lisa! 🙂

Hey Peggy!
FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS! Lather, Rinse, Repeat! 🙂
I agree, when you recognize what is working for you do more of that…but also see where you can improve and make things even better for your customers.
Thanks for the congrats! It feels great…but I’m always looking to the next month lol!
Another challenge is when you’re new and not sure what exactly is working because you’re still throwing darts in the dark.
Right now I’m trying to focus on two things; create content and be social to attract new people. I need to focus on my lists more too, so it’s actually three things I’m trying to (get and) stay focused on.
Peggy mentioned Product Drop on her site the other day. Did you join that or just the main community? I like a lot of Dennis’ products, but haven’t joined the PD yet.
Yeah exactly Patti…throwing darts in the dark! Not a good thing! I’m always looking for ways to cut out the noise and be ultra productive. I can’t say I’m doing a good job yet haha. Those are 3 great areas to focus on. Mine are pretty much the same – content/product creation, list building, and traffic gen. Of course being social and building relationships are key too. 🙂
I joined the main community several months ago (not a member at the moment though), not Product Drop. For me at this moment in time, PD would just be a distraction. I’m trying to stay away from noise (distraction) lol!
