Marketing is an important eliment in your business. Without a plan your efforts will yield inconsistant results at best. You need a plan! Here are some suggestions in a non exhaustive list:
Daily Tasks
Respond to Emails. People expect prompt replies to their questions. This helps strengthen your creditability. Try to answer them within 24 - 48 hours. Build trust with your prospects and customers.
Speak to Customers. Promote your opportunity to customers who will buy from you whether it be your products or business opportunity. Action is necessary to survival.
Weekly Tasks
Join a Discussion Group/Forum. Be involved in your area of expertise. Give content rich comments to build yourself as the expert and develop relationships. Don't push your opportunity. Search for lists of forums in your favorite search engine. eg mlm forums
Check your PPC. See how effective your campaigns are runing. Do some split campaigns to see which ad is pulling best. Add a few extra keywords each week.
Grow your Website Add another page of content rich information. Search engines love fresh information and you'll improve your chances of being ranked higher.
Speak to your Upline/Downline. Keep regular contact with all parties involved in your business. This will keep you abreast of any changes either good or bad and you can act fast to improve things.
Monthly Tasks
Submit Your Website to new search engines. Do this manually or purchase some software to do this for you. Try for at least 5mth. Be sure to be on the major players early..Yahoo, Google, MSN
Advertise in an Ezine. Check out those that relate to your business and advertise in them. Some ezines have free adverts to get you in. Grab a list at Directory of Ezines.
Submit an Article. Content rich information is always in demand. Write the article yourself to allow the reader to get to know you a little better. If you're not confident, then try a 'ghost' writer. Find them at elance.com or email me for my favourite writer. Articles cost just $5/300 words or $10/600 words.
Send out a Newsletter. This should be done at least monthly if not weekly or fortnightly. Keeps you in contact with your customers and prospects. Again make it content rich and don't just plug your business opportunity. See my 'Building a list' in the sidebar.
Quarterly Tasks
Keep Educated. Check the net for the latest in courses to improve your skills. Invest in your education! there are some 'must do' courses in the sidebar.
Have a Rest. Spend time with family & friends doing what you love. If you can get away from the computer for a few days even better. Go to the beach, unwind and relax. You'll return to your work refreshed and more productive!
Remember people don't plan to fail they just fail to plan! Get organised today for better results.
