What Do You Need To Reach The Next Leve My Choppers?!!

[inzpiration]

I want to ask you something. What do you think it is the most crucial thing right now you need to jump to the next level in IM? Is it....

Money? How much?
More skills? Like what?
Jv's - With whom?
More time?
...More ideas?

For me, I think what I need right now to take my online business to the next level is money, lots and lots of money in funding for my campaigns, oh! and time!

What about you?

Time.

I work about 14 hours a day now. Yes, it's showing, but I need more, and more, and more.

I would say time and constant innovation/fresh ideas especially from forums (could we organize something like a "big idea of the day/week" contest at NC? just wondering) cause without innovation we might as well pack up and head off to burger king and discuss cutlet flipping instead.

That and coke, the sweet, sweet kind.

Going along with what Athma said - we should schedule a "think tank" discussion via the chat Ash set up and post the entire discussion after its completed...

Def be great motivation and brainstorming.

Time and a kick in the ass, simple

We should have something like an IM buddy routine, where each makes sure the other isn't wasting time with youtube or porn or whatever...or if that seems gay then the group chat thing seems cool, let's make a thread for topic suggestion and run with it

we need some sort of mentor scheme, where a pro marketer mentors people, say one at a time. but dont have to do it for free, maybe a % of the earning that person has made while being mentored.

[inzpiration]

those are some really good points, I vote for that as well. We need more interaction to exchange and share ideas.

In my case, when I'm mainly doing SEO, I need time, because everything is not instant like in PPC...

Of course, money is also needed, but that's for outsourcing, something that I can do on my own, but don't really want to.

Interesting reading all your opinions. Most people talk about time? Weird really... I sit here for 12 hours and my eyes begin to hurt while turning red. 18 - 24 hours they turn almost black. It's a matter of determining how much time you take eating, going to the bathroom, showering, bushing your teeth, hours you sleep/wake up, GYM (maybe?), kids/wife/gf (maybe), phone calls, emails, texts, forum surfing and other forms of entertainment. Most of the people that complain about time, waste their time. We all struggle with it... my advice is to pick up some office space. Drink and eat through a tube and wear a diaper. Disable AIM, MSN, put your phone on silent, and explain to your loved ones, work is work.

The next level of IM, has nothing to do with what you listed. It has everything to do with focus.

I was going to share my opinion but it is not needed, what Noxter said was absolutely perfect.

A+

i cant pick up some office space because i dont make enough online to do that, no where near enough to pay my bills so unfortunatly i got to put up with having a full time job.

if i was making enough i would happily sit unfront of my desk in my office for 24 hours while wearing a shitty diaper and a large jug of coffee

The problem with working on the internet is you're working on the internet even if you've been surfing for 20 years you'll still get distracted by the porn, movies, games and whatnot that the net offers...even if you enjoy what you do with IM it still isn't enough to keep you focused...like a party going on in the office and you're in your cubicle trying to work. Which is why it would do us much good to be accountable to a community as a whole instead of our own easily tricked consciences, I'll wait for a more creative person to suggest ways to do this.

[linksmeter]

I think if we will have more skills, more ideas and more JVs... definitely Money will come...also i like the points mentioned by NoxTer.

[inzpiration]

Well reading all of your interesting posts guys then I guess that what we need is not "Time" because we have time, what we need then is....PRODUCTIVITY to make more thing in less time and with better results.

Right?

[Blackman]

The funny thing is that I got actually plenty of time, but there aren't many things to spend it on.

It doesn't take long to write a few articles, get few backlinks or check out the forums....

And? What's after that?

[Ganceann]

What I need to go to the next level is a product partner with ideas

Product partner role would be to provide a basic product (PLR content/niche topic outline) and to provide graphics for site + affiliates. I would do the product write-up and product support.

[inzpiration]

Hey! that sounds interesting G Well I'm going to consider this for a future project :P
