Hi Everyone! I am George Pierce, this is a brief post about how the 80/20 Rule applies to making money online. It means spending 20% or less of your time on CREATION and 80% or more of your time on marketing. I believe most of us get that backward, I sure did. What most of us do NOT discover is that we are spending way too much time on creation, and way too little time on marketing.
What happens when we build it or create it online, is that we soon discover that "They Will Come', does not happen. We also find out that nothing happens online without traffic. You can generate traffic, easily and for free. Generating traffic is the marketing side of Internet Marketing. It is easy, fast, and most importantly it is EFFECTIVE.
Above is an original example of what you can do, which is to create catchy images and post them on social media sites and send visitors to affiliates by way of your website, blog, landing page, squeeze page, etc.

I learned about the 80/20 rule a very long time ago. As you stated " It means spending 20% or less of your time on CREATION and 80% or more of your time on marketing." You first want to get to know, like and trust people. You can't do that if you spend all your time marketing and pitching your business to everyone you meet. It doesn't work like that. Relationships is the key to success in business. When you do then your success will happen for you.
You my friend have set the perfect example as a go-giver. Be a good finger pointer and people will remember you for that always.
This is an outstanding post and the information in it is beneficial.
Well said, thank you, Terri. Spending time in getting visitors and viewers, to know like and trust us, should be our first step.
This is excellent advice George. You plan and create then no one comes. Marketing your business is the elephant in the room if you don't know how, you better learn. Your Internet Marketing Training, is a great place to start. And it free so there are no excuses.
There are also forums in most niches, thank you, Robin.
Very well said George. Concentrated 80% of marketing effort can yield amazing results!
Traffic is key and marketing means traffic, thank you, John.
