4 Success Strategies for Managing Your Internet Marketing Time

How to Avoid the Overwhelm of Internet Marketing - 3 Strategies for Managing Your Internet Marketing Time for a Successful OutcomeInternet marketing is an essential tool for online success.  The more people you reach, the more opportunity you have for a better return on your investment.  It takes a lot of skill to run a successful business.  A business often lives and dies because of management.

Staying on track with Internet marketing can be challenging.  Here’s some tips to keep your Internet marketing on track.

Setting the Stage – Schedule time.  Like every appointment you set for a client, carve out a specific day and time for Internet marketing.  It doesn’t matter if you’re working at a desk or your kitchen table.  Organize your work environment.

Managing Your Time – Think about what you’re going to do and create a plan to get the work done.  Brainstorming your strategy will help you stay on track.  Write down your ideas, stay focused and execute them in an organized manner.  Effectively  managing your time saves you money in the long run.  You’ll spend less time marketing and more time selling.

To Do Lists –  Set up a monthly to do list for marketing.  Create a spreadsheet for the various marketing tasks. At the top of each column, show week 1, week 2, week 3 and week 4.   Assign blogs, social media, website development, article marketing, newsletters, CRM, video marketing, etc. to one or all of the weeks.  Social media marketing is an exception.  It should be done a daily basis.  We tend to procrastinate when it comes to doing the tasks we don’t like to do.  So, do the hardest tasks first.

Be specific about each task.  For instance, on your blogging day, detail what that involves; where to research a topic, time involved for writing and optimizing, where you’ll be promoting it, etc.

Time is Money – Knowing what needs to be done and actually finding time to put it into action can really be challenging.  If you’re still feeling overwhelmed, consider hiring a Real Estate Virtual Assistant.  He or she will proficiently handle the marketing end of your business (what they do best), leaving you time to do what you do best.

Organize your work space, manage your time and create systems to keep your Internet marketing on track.  These are all essential pieces to the overall business plan.
