Quick Tips To Get You Through Your Newbie Webmaster Days
====================================================

Are you tired of the kids asking the neighbors for dinner because
you are stuck online all day?

Is your spouse wondering whether you are going to marry the
computer?

Do you only eat what can fit on the side of the desk next to the
mouse??

No one said that starting out online was easy. Especially for
those who stay at home. Some days you don't think that you will
ever figure out how to handle life online and offline?

You are not alone. We all wish there were more hours available
every day to finish everything, but since it doesn't work that
way, you have to come up with some tips to help you manage those
first months of being a webmaster and publisher.

Quick Tips

Stop Getting Caught Up In Your Email And Finish Your Work.

Yes the emails look interesting, but what about your work? What
pays you more, your work or reading emails?

Think, And I Mean This, Think Before You Pull Out Your Credit
Card.

If it seems like that money is just burning a hole in your
pocket, resist the urge to spend on things you don't need. Do you
need that expensive list host when your list is small?

Do you need that expensive software when you can find the same
quality in a free version?

Do you need to buy all the ebooks out there? What about saving
your money for promoting your products or services, or your
monthly hosting fees?

Organize Yourself

Is your work in the same pile as your children's toys?

Make a space in your home for your office. Even if you can't
dedicate an entire room to your office, clear off a section of a
room for your office, and make sure everyone else in the
household knows this.

Is This Your Day??

6 am

Wake up, Get the kids ready for school

6:15 am

Of course you turn on the computer ( if you ever turned it off
from the night before!)

6:30 am

It dawns on you. Just how many affiliate programs did I sign up
for yesterday? I don't even remember the product I am supposed
to be selling but I remember the 50% commission, so hey why not??

7 am

Kids are at school, spouse is on their way to work and you are in
front of the computer ready to work. You start checking your
email and then...

9 am

You are still caught up in your email. You don't even remember
what you were supposed to do in the first place. Hey isn't it
time to eat. Now what do I eat??

The Webmaster's Breakfast
( Anything that can fit on the side of the desk next to the
mouse!)

Coffee ( a must)
Water or Juice ( while you are waiting for your coffee to cool)
Bagels, Pop Tarts, Toast, a Sandwich

Anything that is bite sized and can be held without a fork!

Don't worry, all experienced webmasters know how to juggle plates
of food on their laps while typing away. Give it a few months,
it'll come to you.

The Webmasters Lunch

The same thing you had for breakfast, just reheated and you are
now on your fifth cup of coffee.

By the time you have eaten, your ISP is down. You and the ten
million other customers who share the same dial up number are out
of luck for the next two hours.

Okay your ISP is back up. Now in the mean time did you do any
work? You don't have to be connected to the Internet to do
everything.

Well you better do something before your children get home and
tell you the one phrase you hope you never have to hear
especially when you are on a deadline

"So Mommy / Daddy, what does this button do..??"

Crash. Your computer is down for the rest of the day...

SO WHAT HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED TODAY???

Write down your daily goals

Answer emails from customers.

Processing sales accordingly.

Update at least one page on your site.

Gather some new and interesting information for your ezine.

Jot down some ideas for an article.

Set some ground rules in your home and your business so everyone
fully understands what you are trying to accomplish and that
there are no hidden surprises.

The list goes on and on.
The fact is that it doesn't get any easier, but it is up to you
to decide what battles you want to tackle every day.

There is more time wasted thinking about your goals than the time
you spend achieving them.

In the long run, you will see that computer errors and household
errors are a part of life but also an excuse to not finish what
you started.

Just a quick reminder to let you know you are not alone.

But you may realize that the only person stopping you from your
goals is YOU.
