Starting your day with a great cup of coffee or tea is, of course, a must, but then what do you do once you settle into your desk at work? For most people, the answer is that they comb through their emails. They respond to what is important, click on a few items of interest and then spend another 15 minutes checking out a few blog posts, twitter discussions, and other social networking sites.
For the next month I urge you to try something different and see if it increases your productivity, creativity, visibility, and helps you to achieve some major marketing goals you have established for yourself.
Use the First Hour of Each Day to GET VISIBLE - DO SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP YOU TO ACHIEVE YOUR #1 MARKETING GOAL.
Spend the first hour on making yourself visible to your customers. A few suggestions include:
Write a blog post and then tweet about it. Make sure it is linked to Facebook, LinkedIn, and other sites.
Research, write, or edit an article. Use the article for a free giveaway, a blog post, an ezine. After one year you will have 52 articles if you do one a week.
Comment on a blog post, a tweet discussion, or articles. Your focus is to get your name out there as someone who has something important to add to the conversation.
Comment on blogs who are authored by people you admire, can help you in some way, or are your target market.
Yes, you can do this any time of the day and yet we never seem to find the time to consistently make ourselves as visible as we would like.
Try it for a week or a month, if you can, and let me know the results as you will surprise yourself.
