Would you mind sharing your daily business tasks?

[angienewton]

I'm looking more along the lines of what Internet/Affiliate marketers are doing daily to build their business but of course anyone can post

My goal here is to try to get more organized in my daily business duties and right now I'm all over the place I just recently bought a huge dry erase board and I need to schedule my daily tasks so I can be more productive.

So far I have:

*Work on newsletter/autoresponder messages
*Write articles
*Blog stuff (could you go into depth on this one and share what you do daily/weekly as far as blogging?)
*Networking
*Add content, articles, products, etc. to website
*Keyword research
*Look for and join affiliates within my niche
*Ongoing education (someone shared this one with me)

Would anyone care to expand on what YOU do on a daily basis?

Thanks for your time

What a great thread!

Here's what I generally do:

Answer emails
Check forums (been lazy about this one!)
Look for stuff to promote
Add content to my site
Write articles for my site

Those are the basics... lots of odds and ends always do appear!!

Good topic.

What I am starting to do now to be more organzied in my day is this.

This is what I want to have done in every morning.

- check emails. not always respond right away but I check and then respond in a bit.

- Write one article. I want to write at least 5 articles per week. see how it goes hehe. so far since last wed. I have 4. when I put my mind to it I can write it off pretty fast. and I just have to do it every morning.

- schedule my article to go to my ezine the next morning in aweber.

- then post my article on my blog

- then go check a few forums.

- check email . probably in between all this too and reply.

then later in afternoon and evning.

- I will continue with email of course.

- phone back some opt in leads that have come in asking me to call them.

- forums

- submit to article directory

- whatever else.

- oh and continue to learn

Send out thank you's -- in the mail. I put a card in each CD that I ship.
Or send them out via email (I love Jackie Lawson's card website for this).

Take a class.

Monitor to see what's working or not working.

Read magazines or a chapter in a book.

I am trying to streamline, as well. I try to do the following each day:
- Check/respond to email
- Post articles to blogs (trying to write all the articles for my main blog on Sunday, set the timestamps to post throughout the week)
- Check stats (1x per day)
-Comment on other blogs/submit to directories, etc.
- Check my blog feeds
- Write articles
- Check out new affiliate programs
- Monetize earlier posts (I have 4 blogs, so this is taking a while)

On top of that, I manage a website and take on freelance writing opportunities. So, I manage to stay nicely busy.
