There is just something about building a routine. Whether it’s a morning routine that sets your day up for success or a calming bedtime routine that allows you to relax and have a good night’s sleep; The key word here is routine. What’s so great about having a routine? When you develop a routine, it becomes automatic. You don’t even have to think about it. You know what you have to do, and you keep doing it every day. Having a routine for your online business growth plan works the same way. Consistency in keeping your routine for marketing your online business will yield great results. You will automatically know what you need to do, and you will get more comfortable with your marketing plan the more you stick to the routine.
By now, it’s no secret that consistency is the key to growth in every area of your online business. Consistency can help you grow your traffic, your subscribers, your clients, and most of all, your income. If you want results like that, sit down and write out a daily routine. Start by developing your daily routine, then work up to a weekly routine and a monthly routine. You may need to schedule time blocks on your calendar with alerts set to remind you of what to do. However, over time, these steps you take will become a routine that you do automatically without needing a reminder.
Your online business can be broken down into three different areas that will need your consistent focus on. Keep these three steps in mind when you develop your routine:
- Traffic – you need to bring visitors to your website.
- List – you need to convert those visitors into subscribers.
- Offer – you need to make the subscribers an offer so you can earn money.
Develop A Traffic-Building Routine
Do something every day to send more traffic your way. You could work on your content marketing or social media. Learn how to tweak your SEO skills and keyword research. Perhaps you want to try paid ads. The point is to do something every day to get your online business noticed and increase your traffic.
Start by creating a master list of things you can do quickly to drive traffic to your business. You will want to rotate these quick things for you to do daily. Things that take a bit longer will become part of your weekly and monthly routine.
Find Ways To Obtain New Subscribers
Research ideas to find ways to obtain new subscribers and make them part of your routine. For example, adding an opt-in box to your latest blog post is a quick task that you can add to your daily to-do list. Setting up a new opt-in funnel with a lead magnet can be a weekly project. Perhaps you want to write a book to reach a new market through Amazon. The time you work on the book could be a monthly routine for the number of months you will need to complete the book project.
Make Offers Routinely
If you want to make money, you have to make an offer. This is something where practice makes perfect. Developing a routine and making offers frequently will help you overcome your fears and gain confidence in your offer. Make a list of things you can do to get your offers out to new leads. You could create a new autoresponder email for your information products. You could make a daily routine of running and tweaking ads. Or you could do a free SEO and social media campaign that you work on for a few weeks. Don’t forget to set aside some time each week to work on the next paid product.
Once you have your routines planned out, it’s time to focus on building consistency. Your consistent efforts will begin to pay off, and you will find that you have gained more traffic. As you continue to grow your list and add new products, you will see that consistency is the key to long-term profit.
