With the new year right around the corner, it's a great time for everyone to get focused and organized for 2016! In this episode we're answering questions about managing time and setting priorities. Creating free content, paid content, opt-in freebies, and marketing activities How you divide your time is dependent on where you are in your online business. Before you start your blog, you should be focusing 100% of your time on your lead magnet. Once that's done, spend 100% of your time on setting up your website. After that, you might spend: 70% on free content 10% on opt-in bonuses 10% on marketing 10% on creating content for other people. These percentages will shift around once you open doors into your website. [Tweet "Prioritize things that serve others & solve problems. Do that, & you'll make money online"] So the key takeaway here is to always start with your lead magnets. Scheduling free content The next thing we discuss is scheduling free content. How often you release content is up to you, but the key is consistency. If you stay consistent, over time you'll be successful online. The 'To-Do' list is something we all struggle with. Start working through it by breaking each 'To-Do' into bite-sized pieces and schedule them in your calendar (e.g. Google Calendar). Use any app or piece of technology available to help you block your time and stay on track. Be specific when you break down your tasks, set aside some catch up time every week, and focus on one thing at a time. Prioritizing Goals Next up, we talk about prioritizing goals. Look at all the things that you want to do - see what you can delete, what you can delegate, and what you can do. Prioritize the goals that can make you money the fastest.
