Whether you’re in Mona Vie or Wealth Masters, online marketing gives you tremendous personal freedom and time to get things done in your life.  But as the old axiom goes, with great freedom comes great responsibility!  And that just cannot be more appropriate than for us online marketers and online entrepreneurs, whether you are involved in direct sales or network marketing.  I don’t know about you, but at my house it can be a rat race just keeping the house going, let alone the house, the business, and all the family and social commitments we all like to enjoy.  With all of those distractions vying for my attention, sometimes it’s hard to remember what comes first.  For me, I’ve set aside most of the day for work.  I try to be flexible with it, but I try to accomplish a specific set of tasks which I call my Daily Routine.  This is not a full-blown time management approach, just a way for me to keep track of what I need to do.  I hope you can benefit from the same approach.

As I said, my Daily Routine is not set in stone, but I try to work it in general sequence, and I can easily track what I’ve accomplished and what else remains to be done.  I built my Daily Routine around the Online Marketing work I do.  Your work may require a different set of tasks, but I think you’ll be able to infer what I’ve done below to your own situation.  Since I’m better with my creative tasks in the morning, I organized writing and video tasks in the morning, and implementation, communications and training tasks in the afternoon.  Here’s my Daily Routine:

Morning Activities

• Always make calls to all new leads and applicants as they come in.
• Attend product webinars/conference calls.
• Determine marketing topic for day.
• Write article on that topic.
• Immediately video tape a version of the article.
• Deploy marketing article to web.

Afternoon Activities

• Attend product webinars/conference calls.
• Always make calls to all new leads and applicants as they come in.
• Complete the marketing deployment activities remaining from this morning.
• Conduct daily Social Networking monitoring, communication and management (friend adds/deletes).
• Any other calls to team, leads and applicants.
• Training – read, listen, or view, etc. (minimum 2 hours).
• Set tomorrow’s training objectives.

So what about you?  Do you have certain times of the day when your mind is more productive, or that you’re more creative?  Or maybe your tasks would be better organized around function instead of times of day.  If you frequently find yourself with too little day and too much unfinished work, then I recommend that you consider defining a Daily Routine.  You’ll be glad you did.

Abstract:  Online Marketing gives you personal freedom, but with that freedom comes the responsibility to make sure you get your work done.  If you frequently find yourself with too little day and too much unfinished work, then I recommend that you consider defining a Daily Routine.  You’ll be glad you did.
