5 Ways to Manage Your Time While Working Online
There are many ways to manage time while working online. The computer, Internet, and various other types of activities that can be pursued while working may prove to be quite overwhelming when it comes to time restraints or deadlines. If your income is dependent upon the financial success that you achieve online, it is absolutely imperative that you take the time to ensure that you are maximizing each and every minute of your working time.
Productivity is an extremely important element to the overall success of an online business. In order to reach a high level of productivity, time management skills are a must for every home business owner. Here are five ways to help manage your time while working online in turn boosting your productivity and hopefully income.
1) One of the first methods you can implement to manage your time is reducing the amount of time spent on the telephone. One of the biggest time restraints that individuals experience are telephone calls. It is quite easy to experience a severe time lapse while working due to unexpected calls, long conversations, and even calls that are necessary for the overall functionality of your business.
One way to manage this aspect of your time is to turn off the ringer and purchase an answering machine or subscribe to voice mail. Then, you should set aside a time each day to check your messages and return calls as appropriate.
2) The next way that you can manage online work time is to avoid the act of constantly checking email. Just like the phone, this can take up a lot of your time. You should set aside small chunks of time on a daily basis where you can go through your email and respond when needed.
For the average eight hour work day, I recommend setting aside up to four intervals of fifteen minutes a day to handle the task of dealing directly with email. While this may seem like an awful lot of time at first, you will find that it actually saves you time in the end.
3) Do you work at home? Do you have children? If so, you may consider setting up a schedule in a way that works well with the schedule of your partner. This way, your partner can contend with the kids and you can focus on your work instead of sitting down to work and getting interrupted after 5 or 10 minutes. If this is not possible, you may consider implementing the services of a babysitter, daycare or mommy’s helper a few days a week. This way, you aren’t neglecting your business or your family.
4) If you want to learn ways to manage your time while working online from home, it is important to express to family members, friends, and neighbors that you work at certain times and it is important that you are able to maintain a sound level of productivity while working. Come up with times that these individuals may call you to chat or come by for a visit.
Just like you would set your office hours, so to should you set time aside to spend with your family and friends. You have to have a happy medium for all to benefit from.
Although not always intentional, these friends and family will end up testing you initially and drop by and call anytime. However, if you let them know it is not acceptable and set up appropriate times for these activities, you will find yourself getting more accomplished during these times.
5) The last way for you to better manage your working time is to take breaks. Yes, I said it! You may not believe that by taking a break you can actually increase your overall productivity, but it is quite true! Why do you think employers allow their employees to take small breaks?
It allows the employee to experience a short time of relaxation and also provides them with the opportunity to refresh! You can experience this too, so be sure to work in those breaks and take them – you can always finish what you started when you get back!
One of the best ways for some is to incorporate a daily planner or organizer into your toolkit. When you can put your daily plan down in ‘black & white’ you’ll follow it closer, and maximize your daily production.
As you can see, there are a number of ways to successfully manage your time while working online. Sometimes, all it takes is a little creativity and persistence to come up with successful time management techniques. Here’s to a better organized and more profitable online working environment.

A Comparison of Free Versus Paid Traffic
Every Internet marketer knows that in order to be a success, you’ll have to have a high amount of traffic driven to your website. Traffic volume means more income potential, but when you’re just starting out, ad campaigns may not have a place in your budget.
When trying to drive more traffic to your site, you’re faced with whether to go the free traffic route or use paid traffic programs like Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing. Free traffic routes deliver the best ROI (Return On Investment) because there’s no out of pocket cost, just your time and effort. But the traffic you bring in may not be as targeted as a PPC campaign.
You can choose from free traffic-generating methods such as article marketing, social networking, free classifieds, blogging or forum marketing on niche-related message boards using a link-driven signature file, branded ebook or software with give away rights, plus many many more. Like I said above, the only costs are your time and effort.
The problem with free traffic is that it’s a work-heavy advertising technique. In order to gain high amounts of traffic, a marketer needs to constantly advertise their site to get their link exposed to prospective customers. If time is in short supply, free marketing isn’t an option that will benefit you. The beauty of say, article marketing, which is totally free, is that once the article is written, you could literally get traffic for years to come. But as good as that sounds, it takes time.
Paid traffic avenues cost you money to gain traffic, but if executed properly, the ROI will be much higher and the maintenance much lower. If you’re using article directories, you may have to wait 10 days for approval, but a Google AdWords campaign can be live in minutes.
While costs are considerably higher, so is the potential for profits. If you don’t know how to conduct a savvy PPC campaign, you will risk losing money. There are barriers in place to prevent anything bad from happening, such as daily limits to your spending. Unfortunately, many marketers put limits far beyond what they can actually afford, not knowing Google will find a way to tap into your coffers.
The best way to use paid and free traffic is to implement a strategy that combines both methods. You might run a PPC campaign and at the same create a lens on Squidoo – both for the same keywords.
Days later, you notice your lens is #1 in the Google SERPs. Do you need to continue the PPC campaign? That’s what testing and tracking of conversions will tell you. You might find that the PPC ad linking visitors directly to your sales page has a higher conversion than those who click through to the lens and then have to take an additional step to get to your sales page.
What most successful marketers do is implement a combination of free and paid traffic methods. You might use articles or your blog, as well as advertising in targeted ezines and a PPC campaign.
One of the most popular ways today to gain exposure for your site or product is to give something away, then market backend products to those that have opted in to receive your free give away. The people that opted in to get your branded ebook, report or software, are more likely to purchase from you in the future because they are already involved in that specific niche market. So by paying to acquire these
customers, you ROI will be much higher, much sooner and much longer then any free method available.
Don't worry if you can't or don't want to develop your own product, such an ebook or software, you can search online for 'plr' or 'master resell rights' and finds all sorts of sites that offer ready made products that you can pay a very small amount for, and gain the rights to. Then you can rebrand them with your links and give them away. Make sure you read the PLR resell rights agreement before you purchase.
Savvy marketers understand the inherent need to continually test, track and tweak their marketing efforts. Implement new strategies. See what works best for your niche audience. Then wash, rinse, and repeat your success!
