All home based business operators struggle with effective time management for their business. It is one thing to tell operators that it is important to work ‘smarter’ not ‘harder’; but it is quite another thing to show them that by having effective time management tools they will in fact achieve this goal.
I constantly hear that business operators do not use their social media effectively for their business because it is too time consuming to keep up with the regular articles or comments. Yet you cannot ignore social media anymore because search engines are ranking your website highly if you use social media tags and links.
The only answer is to automate the tasks. Luckily, more and more effective software is being designed (at an affordable cost) to allow home based business operators to put automation tools into their marketing strategy.
The biggest problem you will then face is to learn how to use these tools. But again, the tools are becoming simpler to use and it is worthwhile spending some time to learn rather than to constantly spend time doing the tasks yourself, or not doing them at all because of the time it takes.
How Automation Can make effective time management a part of your business plan
1. Use the free software, Feedburner, to automatically send information from articles you place on your website or blog to your social media. You have to open a Google account to access Feedburner. The Feedburner software works through RSS feeds. RSS feeds are automatically included in WordPress. With other websites you will have to install RSS feeds first.
2. You can also have articles that other people write and publish in Directories automatically added to your blog (using the keywords that you nominate). The software will be installed for you onto your WordPress website/blog and you can also have them design a WordPress website for you. I have used this service and am very happy with the result. Check out the details.
3. Hootsuite will automatically send information (that you write and place into the software), into all of your social media accounts e.g. Facebook and Twitter. As you are only writing information once, this software can save you a great deal of time. There is a monthly fee for using Hootsuite. I actually create Twitter length comments by taking information from my Blog articles (sometimes I get up to 10 different tweets from the one blog) I send out three tweets (one straight after the other) each time. This makes a stronger impression and allows me to create a message that is read as one message via three tweets.
4. You can measure the success of your backlink campaign by using the free software of domain pop. It is important for you to see just how many backlinks you are getting and from whom.
5. Backlinks Rotator will automatically give you thousands of backlink displays and each time Google checks out the websites (where your link is displayed) your link also gets indexed and becomes a backling that will increase your ranking.
6. Outsorce SEO to Microworkers enabling workers to complete many of the tedious tasks of updating your social media and creating backlinks. You can do this for as little as 30c per task. By using workers from http://www.microworkers.com/.
7. http://www.fivver.com/ also provides workers for $5 per task, which can include writing articles. Some writers are better than others, so try a few and then decide who to use again and again.
