Daily Marketing Tasks

[JoeSpirit]

Many people say they have an online business because they spend a lot of time at the computer working on stuff. 

However, most of the stuff they are doing doesn't really contribute to the bottom line much, if at all, which is the key point about being in business. 

In the past, I've found myself working my fingers to the bone all day long for days at a time, for example, and haven't made a penny for my efforts. Not immediate profits and not really anything for future profits. 

So, the question is what do you do every day to grow your business? What tasks contribute to your bottom line the most? What are the time wasters? 

Or are you one of those "working" all day long for free. 

It's hard to avoid the distractions of everyday life (most especially when you work from home) and social media (when your work is on the internet). For me, it's an ongoing struggle although I am improving.

I'm working toward a 4-hour or shorter workday myself. So my current schedule is:

0900 - 1000 Broadcast message to subscriber list containing relationship building/business informational content, write a new message for autoresponder sequence.

1000 - 1200 Concentrate on my latest product creation project.

1200 - 1300 Daily screenshots of business-related results and stats.

1300 is my planned stop time for the day. Not quite there yet as I normally check email and social media. Only to, hours later, growl at myself for burning time on Facebook.

Before 0900, depending on when I actually start my day, I tend to check affiliate sales, forums that I'm active on, prepare my mind for my office activities.
