Today I am determined to get organized. It seems that I spend half my time getting rid of extra stuff and if I was more careful right from the beginning, I would save myself a lot of trouble. So today I am spending time to organize all of my writing (newsletters, articles, and the blog) and then saving them onto individual topic cds. Then, not only can I find them right away, but I will have a back-up in case my computer dies (as they are known to do when you least expect it).
This project has taken me about two hours so far, and every so often my husband walks by and shakes his head. Makes me realize that I have to start making some money from all this Internet business and show the dear man that I am not really wasting my time – it just looks that way. Now if I could keep away from opening my email 5 times a day!!!!
Organizing Your Computer Data
I watched a video today about how crucial it is to organize your data if you plan to make money on the Internet. In fact, people have quit doing Internet Marketing because their data was in such a mess.
I can see that happening with me already. When you have more than one website or blog, plus affiliate programs you belong to, membership sites, software downloads … it all gets pretty confusing.
I even had a charge on my Paypal account for something I purchased from Clickbank and I have not the foggiest clue what it was.
Next project for me is to organize my passwords, domain names, purchases, and any other relevant data into folders for each of my sites. And I am an unknown blogger – imagine the hassles some of those big name marketers must have!
