The Importance of Working and Up-to-date Computers and Hardware
Posted by KristiJul 27
I’m going to be completely and totally honest with you – I am not a technical person but I am a successful marketer and I know that if you seriously want to make money online that you must take advantage of technological advances, like computers and computer software if you want to leave the broke struggling phase and hit the money making phase. That’s right, if you want to compete with the big marketing gurus or simply want to make more money then you need working hardware with properly optimized computer components, up-to-date software and you must be willing to take action by using them on a daily basis. You’d be amazed but many broke marketers use slow running PCs that are virus infected and this causes them to not make money and doesn’t motivate them to work hard. Duh! Without, a working and up-to-date computer, you are putting yourself at a huge disadvantage.
Now, this doesn’t mean that you have to break your marketing budget. In fact, if you shop around, you can find really good computer deals and obtain a multipurpose computer that propels you to take action. Take me for example, when I tried working on a broken down, old, super slow and virus-infected laptop, I wasn’t motivated to work at all. I would simply stare at the screen and do nothing and I made nothing. Then, I upgraded my laptop, and that action alone changed my outlook and propelled me to work harder. After all, there is nothing like a brand spanking new laptop (or a looming credit card bill to pay for the spanking new laptop) to motivate you and make you want to work. With my new laptop, I was able to complete my internet marketing tasks and felt good doing this. I was able to take action and make money. What will you do?

I totally agree with you. One really needs to invest in good hardware and software if you’re really thinking about doing some serious online work.

Success in this game revolves around motivation, but that can be affected by many things. If it takes a new laptop to inspire you to post every day then just do it – it will pay for itself anyway. I rely heavily on a laptop with a wireless modem because it gives me the freedom to sit and write wherever I feel comfortable or inspired. Equally, technological advances must be observed. You can not keep up with the competition if you don’t keep up with the times. Also, marketing methods are critical. There are very few constants in the world of internet marketing. Web 2.0 is a perfect example. If all your competition is using Web 2.0, and you refuse to adapt to these new methods of website promotion, you simply will not be able to compete. You will slowly lose ground on your competition and your motivation will suffer as you backslide your way to the point you started from. At this point you will probably throw your hands in the air, say “stuff it”, and add yourself to the list of hundreds of thousands of people who have tried internet marketing and failed.
I guess what I am trying to say is…do whatever it takes to remain focused and driven. Any money you spend to stay at the top of your potential earning capacity will pay for itself over and over as you begin to reap the rewards of diligence.
