Guest Post by Sam Clark, 16 Steps to Success Coach

Just today, thousands of people logged onto the internet searching web page after web page to find a way to work from home. It can be a very difficult chore figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

More often than not, many people are confused about to how to build their business even after buying expensive internet business training programs. Every time you log on and check your email there is the latest and greatest way to get rich.

Therein lies one of the biggest problems for most people trying to develop a business online.They are looking for a magic pill that will spit money out of their computers. Unfortunately many people are misguided and waste precious time and money looking for this magic pill.

The magic pill to online marketing success comes down to the fact that there is no magic pill.

You need to roll up your sleeves and get to work. One of the ways to succeed quicker is to invest in yourself and find a good internet business training program that will show you how to properly build your business.

Choosing an internet business coaching program comes down to doing your homework on who is providing the training and what their track record is. Another aspect is what kind of support and training are they going to provide.

As you go through the training you will have many questions so you will want to have good support as well.

To build your business online by utilizing an internet business training program, you will want to find out if there are foundational principals that you can follow along with.

One of the first components is setting up your business properly and getting highly organized. You may literally have hundreds of places and resources online that you will need to access. So make sure you take the time in your early days to get yourself organized.

I found through a survey I conducted that over 86% of people skip this vital part and jump right into trying to make money online. Information overload sets in and suddenly steals your time as you bounce around the office looking for that password to a site, or trying to figure out the web address of that very helpful site you were on last week.

This is a common problem I have found that many marketers overlook and it hurts their business in a big way. When information overload sets in they tend to spin out of control and end up either quitting or looking for a new way to make money online.

Next up is market research.

To succeed online you need to make sure that the training program you decide to invest it offers excellent training in this area. Investing the time to learn how to research a market will provide you the biggest payoff down the road and help you avoid the traps that steal your time.So take a deep breath and spend some time researching to find the right internet business training program.

Look for real testimonials from people that have been through the course and you will save yourself a lot of money and also wasted time.

Cool Market Research Tool: Filtrbox

What is Filtrbox.com?

“The Time Saving Cure for Information Overload - Filtrbox is the media monitoring service of choice for savvy professionals. Filtrbox eliminates the need for multiple monitoring tools saving both time and money while increasing productivity and knowledge.”

Authority site publishers thrive on information. We need to be on top of developments in our niches, not discovering events after the fact. As your responsibilities increase so does your urgent need to know. Managing massive amounts of information has become an incredibly necessary, but time consuming regimen.

How Filtrbox Helps You Become an Information Overlord

We discovered a neat new site that gets the job done in an efficient, reliable manner. I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant to try Filtrbox, but I am now thoroughly convinced and, better yet, relieved. Frankly, it’s better at the job than I was. Now, I can concentrate on other marketing and research without being as burdened as before.

For us, Filtrbox puts needed information on the table right in front of our team. Our departments are on the same page and our management team is more informed and becoming more and more synchronized.

We especially like the fact that we are in the loop even when we’re enjoying some down time. Filtrbox keeps right on retrieving, feeding and filtering information pertinent to our market from all over the web.

We used to be overloaded with information, much of which was repetitive and outdated. We started with the free Filtrbox program. We quickly called to gain some assistance setting our filters. Customer service was supportive and patient, making sure we were off on the right foot.

Once our filters were set, we immediately began to get relevant and pertinent information. We didn’t have to do a thing! In fact, the Filtrbox System teaches us. Gradually, we have refined our filters. We open new fields, expand certain criteria, block others and close outdated filters. Meanwhile, we are not bothered with unnecessary materials, or solicitations.

But the Filtrbox system does not stop there. We can define the media types and even sources including web logs that we want to keep in our loop. We need to know competitor activity, market trends and investment news as it happens. Our management team is now on the same page.

We check our Filtrbox lists regularly and tag specific articles for internal and external use. Appropriate postings are forwarded to clients, while others are reviewed internally and help set our strategy. Our clients like how quickly we get information to them.

Great Reports and Interface

Filtrbox’s screened information arrives in an easy-to-read, easy-to-organize list distinguished by 8 different standards. We can flag information for further review, store for later or delete. The size of our information portfolio does not matter. We can sort by date, category, media or keyword within seconds.

On the Filtrbox dashboard, there are two sliders. These sliders are entitled “Show Rank” and “Show Days.” The rankings are based upon our entered criteria. Articles ranked 10 fully comply with all our standards. Articles ranked 1 are at the low compliance end of our scale. We can decide what level we want to review by setting the slider. It sounds funny but in the beginning, I actually checked some of those low ranked articles. Filtrbox was right! I had no interest in that material. As we continue to refine our filtering criteria, we move the slider further along.

We can also set the age of the material we review by moving the “Show Days” slider. I try to check in every day, but if I miss a few days, I just move the slider back to cover that period. It’s almost too easy.

For important articles, there is a mail option that allows me to forward to clients or co-workers by a simple command. On our company blog, we have embedded a Filtrbox widget that posts articles directly to the site.

With Filtrbox we have an increase of pertinent information while reducing our research time, leaving more time to use the information. Filtrbox has brought our team on the same page while increasing proactive interaction with our clients. Basically, Filtrbox had gotten us on top of our game and out from under the distractions of information overload.

Next we’ll look into similar tools like Trackur.
