Day 8 — Social Networks & More

It was a hodge podge of items today, fitting in what I could between client work. I got another new project from a client yesterday–sort of a spin off from the one I mentioned on Monday. Both are projects for a mutual fund company.
Marketing-wise, I spent some time on Linked In. I keep hearing buzz [...]

Day 7 — Client Work & Ezine

Well, yesterday was a busy day for client work so I didn’t get a lot done marketing wise–except for finishing my e-zine, which will go out today and signing up for a JV deal a friend of mine is offering in September.
But I actually did a couple things different with my e-zine this week. For [...]

8 Ways to Make More Marketing Time

You can’t skip eating for a week and then refuel yourself in one day, and you can’t do the same with marketing. It’s hard, but finding the time to promote the business must be a priority if you want to keep growing at a healthy rate. You have to do it every (working) day—for at [...]

Days 5 & 6 of Massive Action — Marketing Planning & Priorities

Well, my intent was to take one full day off over the weekend and that didn’t quite happen–I took parts of both days instead. Perhaps I’ll do better next weekend, my neck and shoulders could really use more time away from the keyboard and mouse!
Aside from a lot of client work, I made progress on [...]

Day 4–Clients and Prospects

Spent a lot of time working on client projects yesterday, and dealing with last minute issues about moving the domains to the new website. Why does it always have to be so complicated?!  I have two questions in to my current web guy so the move probably won’t be made this weekend.
As far as new [...]

Day 3 — Preparing New Copywriting & Marketing Products & Services

So I’m not feeling like I got much in the way of massive action done today. Started the day organizing in the office for like an hour and a half. But it easier to concentrate now. Also spent some time working on three short sales pages for some cool products for parents of kids with [...]

Day 2 of 30 Days of Massive Action

Yesterday was a busy day–a lot of time spent running around outside the office and finishing a client project. It’s always great to finish something, but I spent much longer than I anticipated. “Fixing” that is clearly a top priority!
Marketing-wise:

I sent out two packages–one to the Ben & Jerry’s PR guy as I discussed [...]

Who Do You Want to Know?

Actually, a better question is, “Who are the people who could have a BIG impact on taking your business to the next level?” It could be a huge client, a mentor, a key referral source, or a journalist from your favorite business publication. Do you know who they are? Are you trying to figure out [...]

Day 1 of 30 Days of Massive Action

Ok, I spent way too much time finishing my Compelling Marketing ezine this AM–about 3 hours writing it and I actually worked on it yesterday too. Obviously, that has to change since it’s a weekly. Lately, I’ve been jotting ideas on Sunday night as I get ready for bed but I was distracted this week [...]

Can I Double My Income By Sept 4?

Today I’m officially launching my 30 Days of Massive Action initiative with the goal of doubling my monthly income. Massive action means setting goals and then doing as much as possible, in as little time as possible, to reach them–essentially kicking your butt into high gear in a focused way. So [...]
