from home

by Reginald Dontache

For most of us online entrepreneurs being your own boss is our dream

and the idea of working from home seems pleasing but we forget the basic responsibilities

and mechanics necessary to achieve results. Having a schedule and being consistent in

applying your routine; begin your tasks and see them through. I remember one of my

favourite life coaches “Pat Mesiti said in one of his videos; life rewards commitment, life

rewards completions, you get out of life what you put in eventually” which is true. On this

post we will be sharing time management tips when working from home that any online

marketer can use to improve their focus and productivity.

Managing your time better

Managing your time efficiently is a vital part of running a home a business. Effective time

management is very crucial and a fine line between success and failure. Have you heard of

the term “busy fool” is someone who spends a big chunk of his time doing unproductive

things on their computer and losing progress and momentum in the process? It is very easy to

get distracted when you do not have a structure or schedule.

1-Schedule Your Tasks and Follow a Plan

Here is a simple 5 Day Map to get focused and productive. This may help you manage time

better when working from home. Ask yourself what type of marketing task you want to do

and what day and time of the week you plan allocating that task time, for example on

2-To do tasks on Monday

Mondays you can commit to researching and creating content write three to five article, this

is what most of the successful blog owners do. Do not forget to research your targeted

keywords and write your articles or blog posts around those keywords. A good tool is market

3-To tasks on Tuesdays

Tuesdays you can write a blog post and ping your URLs to at least two pinging sites. You

need to be careful not to ping one URL to many pinging sites at once as you may look like

you are over optimising to the search engines. Just bear in mind that you can ping again on

Thursday after publishing a new post and give it another day before pinging again, preferably

try and post new content on your blog daily. You can use different pinging sites to the ones

you used on Tuesday. Here are some links to some of the good pinging sites. Send a ping to

these following sites.

4-Tasks to do on Wednesday

Wednesday another blog post and then forum marketing, posting a few threads on the forum

be focused on solving other member’s problems and leave a link back to your website. Search

for forums in your niche and register, please make yourself familiar with the forum rules and

requirements. Post content rich in keywords to forums and put links pointing back to your

website.

5-To do tasks on Thursdays

Social bookmarking is another way to get your website visible to search engines and you can

start with http://socialmarker.com which has more or less 200 social bookmarking sites. The

other task maybe social network marketing on Twitter or Facebook, there are a lot of

different guides and courses online today. Only one of the two is needed to market

thoroughly and build a large number of followers. Many marketers free their time to do other

tasks by outsourcing social networking and other things like link building. Try and send

pings to the following sites after publishing your posts on Thursday.

7-Avoid this common mistake

You can be mindful that you don’t spent long hours online and start neglecting your other

responsibilities, like spending quality leisure time with your family. This very wish online

marketer intend having is freeing themselves a lot of time by running their own businesses so

they can get free from the rush hour hassle and working long hours for an employer, but

when they are not careful they end up doing the same working at home. Unfortunately as you

start a business online you work very hard until such time you can afford to outsource some

of the work or else you get around this by sticking robustly to a time management plan.
