There are so many great sites and tools available and the sales letters are out of this world so it can be easy to suddenly find that you have monthly fees for 10 different membership sites and tools. Add that to your hosting fees and suddenly you are finding that you need to make $1k a month just to cover your spending. 

Don’t buy domain names that you are not sure what to do with. If you buy domains and don’t use them straight away , at least put a parking page on them and write a note somewhere or put a reminder on your calendar so you will be reminded to go and work on them. If you think about buying a ebook because you are “sort of” interested, dont buy it right away. Save the link and come back to it in a day or two. Always think it through and do your research.

If you do buy an ebook, print it out and put it wherever you do your reading. If you buy a tool, you MUST do two things. DOWNLOAD IT (you would be amazed how many people pay for something and then don’t even download it) and READ THE MANUAL. You can’t use the tool unless you learn how to use it, the time you spend learning how to use any tools will pay you back in productivity.

Keep a eye on your hosting accounts, as you buy more domains you will buy more hosting (spreading risk, different IP’s so you can interlink your sites are just two of the reasons why you would buy more than one hosting account). The problem is that as you get more hosting it becomes more and more complicated to keep track of them all. If you belong to a site that gives you 10 products a month to sell and you never quite get around to selling them then cancel the membership, or start selling the stuff.

Remember Profit is what counts not turnover.
