I need to focus on one product

[PatKing]

I am hell bent on developing 10 different income streams from 10 different products or services. I have doing Internet marketing and other web based revenue generation for the last 2 years. I have made some money, but I had to go back to work about 6 months ago and have gotten completely off track!

I have all these different projects I am working on, but need to stay focused on one. Someone please give me a virtual slap across the face and tell me to get my shit together and focus! :confused:

So, out of my products.....without going in to detail, where should I spend my time. On a physical product which clearly is taking much longer or a virtual product that is downloaded upon purchase. The answer seems clear to me, but just wanting some feedback! Thanks!

I have found I don't particularly like selling virtual products. So I've focused on the things I like to do. But if that is what you like, then go for that. Just focus on what you like best.

Thats easy - Use the 80/20 rule and focus on the one or two that have the highest relative income. Use the others as a learning experience and figure out what differentiates your two winners with the highest relative income from those with the lowest. You can let the 8 losers run on autopilot, jettison them (sell them to someone else), or you can try to find a way to get their relative income up to the level of your two winners.

You have left your muses on the back burner for 6 months, don't take them off. Pick one and work on it. Make it a habit. Ever read Zen Habits? The post today is great advice for you (http://zenhabits.net/2009/01/the-power-of-less-tips-of-the-day/). Tim also blogged about Leo from Zen Habits this week as well. Here is the link for Tim's version of the Power of Less (http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2009/01/07/the-power-of-less-leo-babauta-zen-habits/).

Set some goals for 2009, and remember if your ignored muses didn't implode in the previous 6 months, they probably won't in the next.
