Whether you’re selling product, service or affiliate products Internet marketing is key! You need traffic to make sales and you’re going to need a long term Internet Marketing execution plan to expand your business. But to execute this plan effectively, you need to boost productivity!
Upon researching different ways to market your site and creating a plan, there’s a MASSIVE step that is all too often forgotten about. When is the optimum time to work and boost productivity? In this article, we’re going to go down 4 easy tips to boosting productivity and optimizing your work hours.
Boost Productivity Tip: Work When You Work Best
For all of us, we have times where we naturally work the best, high productivity levels and come up with the most and best ideas. For some people this can be early in the morning onward. Alternatively, some are night owls and work best at night into the early hours.
Experiment with what works for you because not everyone is best 9am-5pm etc. By adapting to what when you naturally have high productivity levels you significantly boost your Internet Marketing game.
Boost Productivity Tip: Work When You Have Few Interruptions
More often than not, other people are out biggest productivity killers. If you’re a parent it’s best to work when you’re kids are at school. On the other hand, if you’re kids are on holiday/vacation working in the early hours or late at night will be the optimum working time.
Work with other people’s schedules to find time where you are on your own and the rest of the world doesn’t exist. It’s just you and your passion.
Boost Productivity Tip: Work When You Have Few Distractions
Let’s face it. It’s the Age of Distraction. You will never be truly free of distractions, but you can significantly limit them.
For instance, one sure way to boost productivity is to cut out television. Completely! If you’re a true entrepreneur and having a successful business is your passion, your love for the hustle should dwarf your desire to watch TV.
Another idea! Stop browsing personal social media and checking emails. Also, cut down on the amount of times you go out. Obviously if you have a partner, then maybe going out sometimes is a good idea as a divorce is something you probably want to avoid. But making a decision that you will go out once a month can MASSIVELY boost productivity.
Another distraction is the act of procrastination! This is a serious productivity killer, so I really recommend (in a new tab) check out Gary Vee’s video on “Overcoming Procrastination at Work“.
Boost Productivity Tip: Outsource
Something that every Internet marketer will have to accept at some point there isn’t going to be enough hours in the day to maintain your business and market in a hundred different ways.
Therefore you will need to outsource. One popular site to outsource jobs to is ‘Fiverr’, where you can get people who will write content for you, make graphics, run social media, manage SEO, and anything really!
You may even choose to hire someone full time. Regardless, you will eventually need to let go of complete control, drop the ego and outsource. Without this important step, your business will not be Scalable and that will kill growth for sure.
However you may wonder when is the right time to start outsourcing. Fortunately, we have a whole blog article on called “The Best Time To Start Outsourcing“. Give it a read.
Overall, the whole of this article is to help you cut out the noise, activate your laser focus, increase efficiency and boost productivity. At the end of the day, to boost productivity to the greatest extent you will have to make sacrifices to your lifestyle and break out the comfort zone. Once those sacrifices have been made, results will flood in!
However if those sacrifice aren’t made and you don’t manage your time right, your business can suffer. Check out our blog “Consequences of Neglecting Time Management” to learn more.
