How To Be More Successful And Productive: Block Out Your Daily Prime-Time Hours
One the most important internet marketing secrets is to block out your prime time hours.
What is a prime time hour?
A prime time hour is anything you control 100% percent of and is going to generate revenue for you now or sometime in the future. Now, you can have just one prime-time hour a day or two a day, even four a day. I have four. I don’t think you should have more than four. Most people don’t have any.
Think about this. If you only have one prime-time hour a day and you work five days a week – many of us work many more than that – that’s 225 work days per year. How many prime-time, revenue-generating hours are you giving yourself as a gift for the year? You are giving yourself 225 hours.
As a guerilla marketer, don’t you think you can generate some revenue with that? I think so. Isn’t it a sin not to? Aren’t we robbing ourselves? I would like all of you to block out one prime-time hour a day starting next week.
Which hour is the most important of the day? It’s the first hour of the day. Why? You are fresher in the morning than you are after having been beaten down by the events of the day. You start with the positive.
But, what is the first thing that you typically do when you get in front of your computer? Check email. Is that an interruption? Yes.
And worse, it can start your whole day off badly. What if you wake up and see an email from someone asking for a refund? Doesn’t that put you into some type of emotional tail spin which you don’t want to be a part of?
Now, what if you do this instead? Rather than checking your email, you generate revenue for one full hour first. Don’t you feel good about yourself? You’ve already crossed out some things on your master action to-do list. You can handle that bad news a little better now. See what I am saying?
When people get the bad news first, they concentrate on that bad news, not the good news. When you start with good news, it is not so bad afterwards.
So, start with good news. Start your day with a revenue-generating activity. Make sure if you only have one prime-time hour, that hour is in the very beginning. Eventually, you want no less than two hours a day that are prime time.
Another element of prime time is to focus only on revenue-generating activities you can control. I think everyone knows what that means. The third element is always avoid the daily interruptions you cannot control, like email. Just turn email off. Don’t listen to your voicemail. Don’t take phone calls. That’s why you have voice mail (but don’t listen to your voice mail either). Don’t open your letters. Tell your family it’s prime time and have them support you in saying they cannot enter the office or call you. (Unless, heaven forbid, it’s an emergency.)
Start with a revenue-generating activity, and you will feel great about yourself.
How are you using (or how will you use) your prime time hour(s)? Leave a comment for me in the comments section below.
Internet Marketing Action Secrets: How to Create Your Master To Do List
There are so many actions you need to take to be successful in internet marketing that I create a daily master to do list.
I don’t use a palm pilot or Outlook for this. I use a physical master to-do list. It’s very important you do it this way because this is the way that works. I’ve tried it other ways and it hasn’t worked – it was overwhelming.
I am looking at my yellow pad that’s about five inches wide by seven inches tall. It’s a small junior legal pad with 50 sheets on it. It’s yellow and has about 20 lines on it.
I use this pad because I like to fill it up. When I fill it up, I feel like I’m doing something.
This pad is where I put my master to-do list. My list is not written the day I want to do those things, it’s written the day before – sometimes a few days before. You want to write your master to-do list for the future.
Why? Because it’s easier to come to a desk that’s clean and has a master to-do list that’s already been written sitting on it – that way, you can start your first prime-time hour by attacking that list and crossing things out.
Isn’t that a lot easier than trying to invent things to do?
The master to do list
The master to-do list is the first element – write out your action items. Remember, this is action management. Write out your action management in advance – at least a day before. Don’t write any more than 20 actions per day. I typically complete anywhere between 15 and 20. That’s all that’s humanly possible.
The second element is as I execute each action item, I cross out those suckers with a red felt-tip pen I bought specifically for that purpose. Do you know why I do that? I get to see all I’ve accomplished. I feel so good when I write those things down, and then cross them out with a red pen because they’re done.
At the end of the day, what happens?
The third element of creating your master to-do list. What do I do if I have three or four actions left over on my list? I put them on a new list. Let’s say it’s Tuesday. I’m going to flip the page. Make sure you flip the page. At the end of my day, I just cross out all of the ones I’m going to flip to the next day. That is very important. I cross out every single one, and I flip the ones I haven’t completed to the next day. If I have twelve left over, I didn’t have a very well-managed day, but I have twelve things to start out with tomorrow.
So, maybe I can do better.
Crossing out every single one of those actions is so satisfying to me, even though I have more for the next day, because the next day hasn’t started. I take the sheet of paper from today, scrunch it up and throw it in the wastebasket. That day is gone.

How To Make A Case Study
How do you boost your productivity with creating case studies?
First, what is a case study? In the area of testimonials and endorsements, I think the lowest level is an endorsement. That is something that’s said about you, something nice, typically by a friend or colleague. It doesn’t hold as much water as a testimonial.
A testimonial is the next level where someone has purchased your product or service and has said something good about it because it worked.
A case study is the highest level. A case study is a business story about how your product or service has assisted or shown them how to get to the promise land — to get to the result they’ve been looking for.
I have three tips to make your case studies more productive.
To see the tips, look through the document below:
Do you have video testimonials from your customers? If so, please provide a brief explanation in the comments section below about how you were able to get it, and feel free to share the link to the video if you have uploaded it online.
Copywriting Secrets: Use these 6 Major Influential Principles
Humans are influenced by the following 6 major principles. Try to build them into your content and copy.
1) Law of reciprocation: if they do something nice, we feel obligated to give something back.
2) Law of commitment and consistency: if we made a commitment in the past we do all we can to remain committed to those past actions/choices.
3) Law of social proof: when we don’t know what to do we look around to see what others are doing; it’s why testimonials work.
4) The liking principal: we do business with people we like. Compliment sincerely and they will like you.
5) Authority: when we don’t know what to do, we look around to people in authority.6) The law of scarcity: is it always going to be available to me, and if it’s not, I better get it now. We want what we can’t have. We want what is scarce. Scarcity drives up our need to have it.
6) The law of scarcity: is it always going to be available to me, and if it’s not, I better get it now. We want what we can’t have. We want what is scarce. Scarcity drives up our need to have it.
At our program, The Ultimate Internet Bootcamp (UIBC), we infuse these principles into all that we do.
My guess is you have examples of using one or more of these 6 principles. Or you have questions about using these. I want to hear them. Leave your comment on this post!
