I’ve been working my butt off the last few weeks tying to get as much done as possible and getting only around 5 hours of sleep a night.

What have I been doing? You know… content, content, content! That’s the best way to make money with Internet Marketing and I want to see results as soon as possible. The more content you put out, the more chances of making a sale.

Some of the things that I’ve been doing are:

• writing articles that link to an opt-in page on one of my niche sites to grow my list
• completing my assignments that I’ve been getting from Michael Cheney’s coaching program
• helping Mr. Cheney out by answering tickets on his Automatic Income System helpdesk.

Now I’m sitting here and its almost 1AM and I’m trying to write a blog post. I’ve been trying to write this post for hours now but the helpdesk has been keeping me busy. I’m looking after the helpdesk tickets for Michael while he tries to get a few hours of sleep.

Have I told you I’m pooped

Oh well it’s worth it. I love doing all of this stuff and it’s starting to pay off.

Because of my article writing, my niche site’s list is now up to around 160 people. Last Thursday I made a $247 affiliate sale and best of all I’ve made a great friend in Michael Cheney.

Damn I’m a lucky guy to be able to do this for a living!

I first heard of the 50/10 method from a Twitter message that Jason Van Orden of Internet Business Mastery fame sent out. (Jason’s Twitter username is jasonvo) Basically the 50/10 method is when you break up your workday into 1 hour chunks. Work for 50 minutes and then take a break and do absolutely nothing for 10 minutes.

The trick to really making this technique work well is to make sure you have a focused 50 minutes of non-stop work with no distractions. Shut off your phone, stay away from your email account and turn off your Twhirl. I went through some withdrawals shutting off my Twhirl .

After the 50 minutes are up, get away from your computer and clear your mind for 10 minutes. Go outside and get some fresh air or lie down on your sofa and close your eyes for a bit. The whole point of this exercise is to get your momentum going and get as much done as you can in those 50 minutes. After that you relax and give your brain a rest for 10.

This method really produces amazing results for me because of the focused 50 minutes of timed work. I also find that I have a lot more energy now than I did when I would work for 2 or 3 hours straight without a break. The combination of focused work, more energy and no distractions is what makes this method work so well for me.

Make sure you use a timer with an alarm. Don’t just use your watch or a clock because chances are you will be distracted by looking at the clock to see how much time you have left. I don’t have a timer with an alarm so I did a quick search on Google and found one. Feel free to check out this free Stopwatch with a built in alarm.

So try out this method and let me know what you think. Hopefully it will help you as much as it’s helped me.

Finally got off my ass and decided to get this blog going.

I plan to use my blog as a source of information and hopefully inspiration for other Internet Marketers.

I gotta run now because I’m going away for a week to visit my dad, but I wanted to at least get my first entry in before I left.

Later!
