Checking your e-mail is probably the #1 productivity killer. Looking for orders that never come is a defeating habit that can rob you of energy. Instead we need to be building something good. AI sucks at this in my opinion and from my experience.
Also, instead of reading everyone else’s e-mails, we should be sending out our own stuff and promoting something that can help our readers and make us money at the same time.
Another waster would be NOT creating products to sell and to build your list with. These can be small, medium and larger products. They don’t have to take a long time to produce. Instead, they can introduce and teach our readers something powerful.
You can use resell rights and PLR material to do this.
We can also give these products away to build our list or sell them for a low price of as little as $7.00.
Another productivity waster is buying every new tool that comes along and never using any of them. They are all used for upsells for a $97 or $45 price and more. It’s a smart marketing technique or ploy to get people’s money who are into marketing themselves.
Now if you choose to create your own products (low-cost, mid range and high-end) you can sell anything to anyone. And I am talking about instant cash orders and affiliate products and also for building your list.
Once you get going at this type of promotion, you can have something powerful to mail to your list every week. And also have things to make money with.
Another productivity killer would be over-eating. the Bible say that over-eating will clothe a man with rags. Drugs and alcohol also fit into this same category as well.
Another time-waster can be sitting in front of the computer all the time. You would be better off having a job and doing a little bit each night. Sitting in front of the computer will make you numb and dumb. Like someone who is ‘so close to the trees they cannot see the woods’.
If you are full-time at home, it is good to get away some each day and do something fun and energetic that is good for the mind and creativity.
Many people who create content will re-purpose it into many forms like posts, articles, audios, reports and products. This will eliminate time-wasters too.
