Internet Marketing Tips; Schedule Marketing Time and Maximize that Time

Internet Marketing Tips; Block out time on your calendars to 
market your business and then make sure to maximize the time 
spent marketing.

Many of us know we need to market our business and our intentions are good, however, we just never get around to market our products or services on a consistent basis. We get busy conducting the day-to-day operations of our business (and our lives), and suddenly we realize that we are about to run out of business.

So, we get back on track… for a time, and market are business. And after a while we get busy, too busy to market. Over and over again we repeat this cycle and because of this, there is no consistency to our business.

Internet Marketing Tip: Schedule Time for Marketing

Remember the 80/20 rule: 80% of your sales are a result of 20% of your time spent on marketing efforts. What this means is – if you work a 40 hour week, then 20% of your time, or 8 hours, needs to be spent on marketing activities

Schedule time for marketing. Block out times on your calendar that you can devote to marketing activities.

  • 1 day a week, either the beginning of the week or the end.
  • 2 days a week, like Tuesday and Thursday-4 hours each day.
  • 4 days a week, like Monday through Thursday-2 hours each day.

NOTE: If you have to reschedule that time, block those hours out on your calendar in another place.
