Make a list and check it twice/My suggestions for Website Owners.

Everyone, everyday faces some things they must accomplish online. If you’re just shopping online or looking up information for reference it’s pretty straightforward and this doesn’t apply.

However, if you’re part of the growing community of website owners (for profit-not for fun or personal sites), time can be money. Some estimates say this community is growing by thousands a day.

To make the best use of your online time, it’s imperative that you’re focused. This is where your list comes into play. Before you go online, sit down with a pen and paper, clear your mind and organize your thoughts and make up a to-do list and even a sub-list.

Make sure before hand of what you want to accomplish in your session or the business info you want to look up. Jot down a few major points and lesser sub-points under the majors on your list and date the list.

This make at first seem silly or redundant, but think of the times you went online to look something up, got sidetracked and an hour went by before you thought of the original reason you fired up the browser! This is normal, but if you’re trying to run a business and generate a profit, time is money.

The way marketers write their attention grabbing headlines, even checking your business email can take a while if you’re clicking on the links for every business opportunity on how to make zillions from the comfort of your desk chair.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve done this, I probably wouldn’t have to work so hard to make a buck online. So, set aside a time to check your email AFTER you’ve written your list. If your list is sitting right by your arm, you’ll know what you have to do with your online time. You still have the time to answer the emails, but you’ll create that sense of urgency within yourself to get these things accomplished.

Cross out each item on the list as you do it and go on to the next. By doing this, you will use your time online wisely, instead of skipping all over the place. The net is a vast online storehouse of info and everything seems interesting.

Try this out for a week and keep your lists. At the end of the week, look them over to see how you did and all you accomplished. I bet you’ll be surprised!
