Centralize, Systemetize then Monetize

Did you know that… there are 3 essential components you need to begin using right away to become “super” successful online?
The problem I see every day is how people go online, set up a website then fail to earn a dime.
And most of the time it’s because they’re not using these 3 essential components within their online business.
If you’ve read this far after reading the title of this post you’ve probably already guessed what those 3 things are.
But do you know what they mean? or even how to apply them to your online business?
Let me explain in 3 easy steps…
Step 1: Centralize
Here’s where so many people go wrong!
They use the scatter gun approach to running their online business. So usually they’ll have one resource here, another over there, then one more around the back. Each one needs a username and password to access.
Can you see the problem with this approach? Look at how much time is wasted jumping from one website to another just to be able to run your online business.
Centralization of your resources is the solution. There are many ways of doing this. The most obvious is to use an online ecommerce solution which has many of the tools you use already built into one place.
For example with a centralized ecommerce solution your autoresponders, your affiliate programme and your customer management systems are all in one place. There’s just 1 login to access all your “mission critical” data.
Step 2: Systemetize
When you systemetize the way you work online everything gets done quicker and more efficiently. Another way to look at systemetization is by creating set procedures for the tasks you do on a regular basis.
To find out exactly what you need to systemetize just write down everything you do online for at least 3 days.
Then look for those things you do on a regular basis then write down the steps you go through to complete those common tasks.
Now every time you go to do those things you pull out your steps and follow them.
This way you don’t have to think as carefully, you know exactly what you need to do next and you’ll know how long it’ll take to complete. You’ve now created a system to follow.
Why not take it one step further, create a video showing how you complete those tasks then outsource it to someone else to do. This frees up your time to work on monetization…
Step 3: Monetization
So what’s monetization?
It’s all about looking for new ways of making more money from what you’re already doing.
It could be locating places within your website which could be more effectively used and turned into cash.
For example, after someone has placed an order with you are you giving them a one time special offer on an upsell to their original order?
Are you using your subscription thank you page to generate more revenue by making recommendations to products you’re able to earn affiliate commissions on?
These are 2 ideas off the top of my head to help you get started with monetization.
When I Centralized, Systemetized and Monetized my own online business it added another zero to my monthly profits and it’s still growing!
This is how powerful it is.
I really want you to get this and begin applying it to your online business. So what I’ve done is created a mind map diagram that explains how everything connects. I’ve also included some bonus tips for you…

Look for ways to bring your resources closer together, at the very least get all your links into one easy to access place.
Then write down all you do online for at least 3 days to see what tasks you do on a regular basis that can be turned into steps someone else can follow.
Take a close look at your website and see what other opportunities you have to make more money from what you’re already doing. Can you add a product recommendation to your subscriber thank you page?
Can you add a one time special offer before or after someone buys something from you? What about a popup on exit window containing an optin form so those people leaving your website can join your subscriber list?
So there you have it the 3 “essential” components you need to begin using right away to become “super” successful online.
Here’s the centralization, systemetization and monetization solution I use and highly recommend
