Storytelling in Marketing PLR; Social Media Distractions

Published: Fri, 04/30/21


I get a lot of requests from people wanting two things: For me to teach them my limited PLR business model and for me to share the videos I'm making for my son on how to run my business in case anything happens to me. I'm not doing either for good reasons. 

On the limited PLR, it's very different for a newbie who no one knows to come onto the scene and try to flip 5-page limited reports that sell out almost daily. I have a list of over 10,000 people and a reputation for writing good content that goes back to 2006, when I started my PLR business (and 1999 when I began ghostwriting for many top gurus). A better option would be to start with a normal unlimited launch of a good deal of content and recruit affiliates. 

So if I tell a newbie that they can whip up a 5 pager and sell out daily, that'd be a lie. On the videos for my son, that's showing him how to run an already built, lucrative six-figure business. It wouldn't be of any use to show people who don't have a list, who don't have a store or connections. It's not a "how to start" video series, but instead, keep everything I've built running. I hope that makes sense.  :)

Okay, here's what I have for you...

Shutting Out Social Media Distractions When Working from Home

Working from home can be a rewarding experience. You can smash your income ceiling, save money, and be able to have more time for yourself and your family. But, one of the major downsides to working from home are the many distractions you’ll face. You need to know how to deal with those. Over the coming days I'll talk about a few of them. 

Social media is first - it's a huge waste of time if you’re not engaging in work tasks. That’s because you think you’re going to just pop in for a second and you end up staying for a lot longer than you thought you would. 

What happens when you end up spending too much time on social media is it causes you to develop an attitude of procrastination acceptance. You blow off work because you tell yourself you’ll get to it later. 

But what you’ll face is the excitement of something always being new and interesting on social media and work usually isn’t. So it’s easy to give in to the temptation to stick around on social media a while longer. 

Then the next thing you know, not only have you lost time, but you’ve lost the productivity spirit. You end up feeling apathetic toward whatever you’d planned to do. With Facebook, not only is there your own profile or page to post on, but there are plenty of others that will sidetrack you. 

A friend posts a funny meme, so you take the time to respond. Then you notice a video that you just have to watch, so you do that, too. After that, you see a conversation on there that you’d like to join. 

You go back and forth with others talking and having a good time as the minutes and hours whittle away at your day. YouTube is where your attention span goes to die. There are so many videos that appeal to a wide range of interests. 

It’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of this social media site because one video leads to the next and even auto plays for you! On Pinterest, there are so many pretty images and so much information. 

There are recipes and things to buy. There are beautiful landscapes and romantic ideas and information about saving money or losing weight. These things all grab and hold your attention. 

With Twitter, it’s easy to think you can hop on, catch up on the Tweets, then hop back off. But this site sucks you in - not just with the good stuff going around, but also because it makes you get caught up in whatever drama is going on. 

Whatever good intentions you have when you’re going to be on social media for a “quick second” always go out the window. These sites are designed to hook you in and keep you there. 

When that happens, you end up blowing off work projects. That doesn’t mean you have to stay off social media. But if you know that it’s a problem for you, use them wisely. You can do that by deciding why you’re on the site. 

If it’s for networking, research or work purposes, then do go on there, but only during your scheduled social media time. If you find it difficult to leave, use a countdown timer app that will kick you off the site once it’s outside of your scheduled time. 

Save the scrolling and browsing for no specific reason for when you complete your work and use it as a reward. That way, you won’t get behind on work. The posts and videos and comments will always be there later in the day. 

That's it for me today - y'all have a great rest of your day!
