Motivating yourself can be a challenge
Sure, parts of running your own business are fun. But sometimes we hit a wall and important parts of the business are in jeopardy of coming short.
There are times when we can do nothing about that, but sometimes we know that we could do more, just somehow, we don’t.
Like a lack of motivation.
This is a page where I can motivate myself, you can motivate yourself and we can show responsibility for each other.
What are the most important things each day, when it comes to working a clipstore business?
We measure our combined “Producers Power” (Yeey!)

You don’t need to do all of these things every day, but you can. Especially 4-9.
Below in the comments, there is a rating system
Each rating, from anyone posting a comment, will influence the scores by 10%.
If you don’t want to rate an item, because you did not plan to do it that day, don’t touch that slider. Nothing will happen to that score.
However, if you did not do something that you WANTED to do, rate a low score.
Rate all the items according to how well you did / how pleased you are with yourself (be honest).
Remember: all our ratings influence the scores.
If you run multiple stores and you did well in one but not so good in the other, post a mixed rating OR write two comments, one for each store.
Goal
Our goal is to have every score show up green 🙂
When one of us did bad, the others have to do better!
Don’t feel bad about ruining the score: DO SOMETHING about it (next time) 😛
Join the Motivators Circle!
If you just want to comment, leave the sliders be and comment. Untouched sliders won’t influence the scores.
To participate, just comment and adjust the sliders accordingly.
0 is bad, 10 is the best.

Couldn’t edit my old comment so that I could adjust the scores. No problem. Will just add the other sliders now.
Wrote description and updated the store:
I never cut corners on that. Okay, I did a few times when I was in a hurry, but it never went well. Never.
Need to post to my second store and maybe to MV, but need to eat first. Got a feeling I won’t do it. I will leave that empty again, just in case.
Promotion:
I posted on tumblr and twitter. That’s really basic, so will give that an honest 3.5
Reading of information is a tough one.. I read some articles, but nothing too specific. Will give that a 5.

I think I’ll just post all my stuff into my own nested thread here. Let’s see how far that goes.
Believe it or not, creating this little page gave me a huge boost yesterday. I did edit and upload clips to my stores and I did much more than I usually would have – even though no one else is participating yet, it’s a great motivator for me to have this kind of open readership.
The fact that someone could see how I did alone makes me do more!
I just copy the list from the post itself and then add my comments for today. I am pretty tired now and take the kids to bed so it could be that this will be all for today, but who knows. I often wake up and do more.
Film content
I made the clips I wanted today, so that’s a 10!
Prepare content for upload
I prepared clips yesterday that I posted this morning and I did another that I posted a few hours ago. That’s okay. I could have done one more.
Upload
Uploaded clips. Happy with it, since my clip list is so crowded because we can’t delete clips at the moment. I tend to upload less clips in advance because if that.
Write descriptions and update the store(s)
I think I did well. Yes, that’s a 10.
Promotion
Didn’t do any promotion today. It’s difficult when a screenshot shows my face. Then I would have to make alternatives and that costs more time. Pretty much failed doing promo today 🙁
Answer messages and emails
I am on top of my mails and messages at the moment. That’s good! I also wrote some messages suggesting features to patreon and a message to payoneer

I did. And I found a master password solution for my protected content. Now you only need to enter 1 password 1 time for all the protected articles.
Read relevant information on the internet
I read about payoneer and paypal fees. I still can’t believe that there is no easy payment solution for individuals like me. It’s so strange. I could have done more though. I wanted to read about what caused this twerking hype all of a sudden. It’s everywhere!
I want to research about newsletter ideas that successful people use. I mostly don’t know what to write, although I know that newsletters are one of the most powerful marketing tools.

I sent an email to customers where I mentioned the top two orders and I made a laughing clip. I still want to change the menu on adult-income

I just paid for another 15 months of spam protection for my sites.
That’s it for now. Luckily, this form of self motivation is very lose and easy. If I wake up and do something, I can always come here and rate just that one item and it will take effect on the whole producers power. It’s just what I needed.

I need to do more. If I continue like this, there is no way the second store makes $1000. I need to come up with a plan to create more time 🙂
Yesterday has been crazy. My biggest chargeback yet, but I already fought back.

Filmed several clips, prepared a difficult greenscreen clip and uploaded it, updated two stores daily the past days. Answered a few very long emails (took me some hours), got a new idea for the website, read about larkinlove’s husband who presumably survived an attempted murder, tried fiverr to freshen up my site and spend $545 dollars, which brings adult-income definitely further into the negative, but I just want to have this project be a great resource, so I save my money for it.

I can imagine that you expect to read something awesome, but this month is just crap for me. I knew it would be a bad move to announce my pregnancy, but I already have a big belly and I didn’t want to fool anyone. A bulging belly can be a sexy thing in my niche, but only if it’s filled with pee. A baby in there is a total turn off and I can understand that. What remains is enjoying myself the way I am and seeing if someone supports that.

I filmed many clips the past days, I edited some difficult clips together, uploaded, wrote descriptions and did promotion. My twitter is as popular as never before but as usual, that is not affecting sales at all. In fact I seem to be doing worse 😛
I answered almost all mails and messages.
I posted a new idea about collaborating
Read about firstchoicepay and payoneer
Tried facebook ads and paid for them.
