Organize Your Time for Best Results
Are you approaching your website and the work that needs to be put into it in a haphazard, non-organized way? If so, you might want to take some time to sit down and really plan out what you’re going to accomplish each week. Planning and organizing your time is very important! In fact, you could probably call it a critical exercise that we all need to be doing for our online businesses.
We all know that we need to have goals. But do you have a plan laid out for how you’re going to reach those goals? If you don’t it will probably take you longer to actually reach them!
So what are some of the activities that you’ll need to plan in time for? Here’s a sample list:
- Marketing / Link Building
- Site additions and maintenance
- Responding to inquiries
- Processing orders
- Learning more about the industry
- etc.
There are probably other things that we could add to this list, but that should be something to get you started or at least thinking about it. First list out what the main categories of time are, then each week you’ll want to decide what the specific tasks are that you need to accomplish for each one of those categories.
This takes some getting used to, but it’s well worth your time.

Great Post! I think the problem most people have with blogging is that they work on EVERYTHING but posting. They will work on ads, layout, marketing, but don’t realize that all of that is useless without content. I’m getting close to balancing it all, but great post! Keep it up Dan!

Thanks Matt, I appreciate the compliment.
I think you made a real key point here: balancing it all! If all you do is work on the marketing but have bad content, it won’t work. On the other hand, if you only work on blogging but never market I can’t see it working either! I feel that all of us have to find that point of balance where we’re being productive on both fronts. Thanks for the comment!
