You Want To Start An Online Business, So Treat It Like A Business - Part 2

Daily Action To Grow Your Business                         

This is the second of our 4 part series on starting your online business. If you missed the first part, you can can read it here.  

Today I want to talk about your daily actions. Once you have committed to the success of your online business and you have set your goals, take action on a daily basis. Always know what to do next. Your next step (however small it might be) must bring you closer to your goal.

You will never achieve anything by just thinking about it. You achieve your business goals (or any other goals for that matter) only by doing……by taking action every day.

Your next step can literally be “taking a next step” (which can also be turned into smaller individual goals), or it can be action steps, some of which can be taken on a daily basis.

Here are some ideas of what you can do on a daily basis:

• Add some prospects to your prospect list. 
•  Follow up with recent prospects. 
•   Place advertisements (paid advertisements or free classifieds).
• Set up a tracking system to track results on your advertising. (I can recommend TrafficXcess, Easy Simple Money Maker.com, and ViralTraffic4U – these are all free systems you can use).
• Review your tracking results on your advertising.
• Work on your social media strategy.
• Subscribe to a good internet marketing course.  
• Review some lessons from the course you are following
•  Take part in forum discussions relating to your niche. 
•   Send out a news letter to your prospects and/or customers.
•  Post on your blog.
•  Write one or more articles.
•  Search on Google for articles on how to become a better internet marketer and read them.
•   If you are part of a networking or MLM program, contact your sponsor and let him know what you are doing. Ask for his advice or suggestions.
•  If you have a down line, contact members and find out if you can assist them in any way. (Learn to help others in order to help yourself).
•  Review your goals

It is not to say that you have to do all the above every single day, these are guidelines and examples. You might do some every day; some might be twice per week or even once a week. It all depends on your “game plan”.
