Keeping Up Business Momentum This Season

I don't know about you, but once the cooler weather sets in,
I have the urge to head to the Appalachians, sit around a
campfire and sip cocoa with my family. It's a bit harder
for me to focus on business with the Autumn leaves so
lovely!

What about you?

Here are a few ideas that will help you keep the momentum
going in your business even while you play a little bit.
Soon enough it will be too cold to spend much time out
of doors, so better go enjoy it now.

Blog When Nobody's Home

Just because you are out playing doesn't mean your blog
has to shut down. If you use WordPress you can schedule
blog posts in advance. Write a bunch of them and have
one a day added automatically. If your blog is on Blogger, you
might want to write several posts, save them as a draft,
then pay a Virtual Assistant to post them for you.

Keep In Touch With Subscribers

Most newsletter management systems allow you to schedule
broadcasts. If yours doesn't, get a new one! I use Aweber
and WahmCart and highly recommend both.

Load up your autoresponder with informative emails to keep
selling your product for you as well as prevent
your customers and subscribers from forgetting you.

Invest In Strategic Advertising

My favorite form of advertising is free, but spending a few
dollars towards some valuable advertising can bring you new
business while you do other things. It's a smart investment.

For instance, Kelly McCausey's WC magazine offers VERY
reasonable advertising costs.

Get Others to Publish You

If you're doing article marketing (and you are, aren't you?!),
why not have an article distribution service like iSnare send out
several of your articles to thousands of publishers?

While you're away from your computer, other people are adding your
articles to their sites and getting you additional traffic,
search engine rankings and expert status. It feels really nice
to log into your email program and have dozens of emails saying:
"We have published your article here..."

The same applies to press releases. Craft an informative release
and send it out to media outlets that reach your target market.

One of the wonderful things about an Internet business
is the ability to create passive income. If you set
things up properly, you should be able to get away
with playing a little and still earn money. Now,
go jump in a pile of leaves somewhere.
