I have heard it said that most people dont plan to fail. They just fail to plan.
I suspect that many who are working on the internet fall into that great heap of mankind. Yours truly is right in there with the rest of you.
Starting out with a great plan of promotion is one of my weekly goals each Monday morning. Before I know it the time has slipped away and its 10 AM.
I have accomplished little except some surfing and opening and reading email messages from friends
and the latest great ri*ch offer from several marketers.
If you have read any of what I have written, I have mentioned that I had a friend, a lady, who had as her motto: Plan your work, work your plan. She was very successful in business.
I do pretty good on the first part of planning my work, but I seem to stumble on the second part of working my plan.
Here are three suggestions for staying on task when it comes to implementing an on line plan of promotion.
1) Have a checklist with time limitations that you follow each day of the week.

Monday- Visit forums- 1 hour
Tuesday- Work on website- 30 mins
Wednesday - Add messages to autoresponders- 30 mins
Thursday - Write new article & submit- 1 hour
Friday - Read new information- 1 hour
Well, you get the idea. Have a plan and stick with it.
Now I know its easy to get involved and let the time slip away from you. So instead of having
to write the time down and keep up with when it has expired, you may opt to use this next item.
2) Use a simple Fr*ee program like Alarm Me to remind you when its time to move on to the next
task on your checklist.

It sets in your tray and pops up whenever it is time to alarm you about your notice that you have scheduled to do. It also has a timer you can set to remind you to stop on something.
You can also schedule a time to shut down your computer and other neat events with this thing and there is a calendar included too.
I personally have this in my tray and it works great if you will use it.
3) Automate as many of your routine tasks as you can by using autoresponders, and software systems like one I use called Biz Automator.
It automatically types responses to tedious routine support emails for you in seconds.
I use this thing every day and it is great. It saves me hours of repetitious typing.
It is very simple to set up. No scripts to upload, no files to modify, etc. I highly recommend it.
So there are three suggestions for implementing your promotional system.
Now its time for you to Plan your work and work your plan.
Best of luck with your promotional efforts.
