It takes a real discipline sometimes to say no to these tempting offers.... and yes... some of them come from me too. Here's way to overcome this problem with overload.

1. Set aside certain periods of day that you check your emails and ONLY check your emails at those times.

2. Sit down and decide once and for all that you're going to build a SOLID website, ebook, program, or whatever it is that you want to do. You're not going to deviate from that plan until you've accomplished that goal. Along way you MIGHT be presented with some software or peripheral program that would work well with what you're trying to accomplish. If that's case then GREAT... get it and integrate it into your online model, but if it doesn't mesh with your PRESENT project, then either don't buy it at all, or if you MUST, then put it into a separate folder on your computer called "Future Projects" and don't mess with it until you're on track with your present one.

3. Make a to do list. This letter is an example. It was number one item on my to do list for today, I wanted to contact you and write about this while it was still fresh in my mind.

4. Find out what time of day is most productive for you and set that time aside for your most important tasks. Mine is usually 10pm to midnight.

I realize that many readers must juggle their web site efforts with a full time job... but real key is consistency. Set aside SOME regular time each week to work on your online presence.

5. Resolve here and now that there are many ways that you would be able to make money on Internet, but you can only do ONE AT A TIME... so you're going to work at ONE until you've either made a success of it or it truly has proven not to be what you'd hoped for. If it's latter, try to find out why. Was it a problem in promotion? Was it layout, text, headline? You don't want to repeat same mistakes again.

I could ramble on for a long time about this, but I think you get idea. This entire article can be summed up in to one word.

3.) Entry and Exit pages - These stats will tell you what pages your visitors enter on, and what pages make them leave. Sometimes this can cause a problem. Here is an example: A few weeks ago a client wrote me and said they weren't getting any sales, although they had a lot of keywords based traffic. Well that keyword based traffic is a great thing, and their site was well organized and professional. The first glance didn't reveal anything wrong. After a few minutes of looking through statistics I found that Terms of Service page was losing a large amount of visitors. We found some huge spelling and language errors. He wrote me a few hours after fixing these to report that he had an order already.

4.) Referral URLs- Pages that link to you are best way to increase traffic and increase search engine traffic. Your statistical program will tell you what URL's are sending you traffic. It's also a great way to figure out if your linking partners are holding their end of bargain.

5.) Keywords- It's a good idea to pay a lot of attention to this. If search engine traffic is most common method for your traffic generation, it's probably your most important statistic. Statistical programs tell you what keywords, and what keyword combinations brought visitors to your site. Hopefully they were keywords that are relevant to what you are trying to sell.
