I wrote this in response to numerous requests from customers and partners. In fact, if you read me for a while you know that with my partner we manage a network of 17 websites in the field of web marketing, SEO, email marketing etc. And we also manage multiple e-commerce sites, we sell 2 software and are launching 2 new video training week. Far be it from me to boast because it took us time to do all this. So in this article I'll explain what methods are being applied to achieve do so many things at a time. The goal is that you can achieve your projects to life quickly.
1. No pain no gain
Unlike any kind of life dreams that some claim to have online, we are told loudly that works all the time. We spend about 5 to 6 hours a day behind a computer regarding web marketing tasks, seo, e-mail marketing or writing. We spend about 1 to 2 hours per day behind the camera to shoot video. Finally, we spend about 1 hour on the phone with our team of developers and 1h with our partners. So it makes you dream?
It all depends on your ambitions, but us, we can not imagine working 4 hours per week. We have too many ideas that we want to start, too many people to manage and too much to do. But it is a choice! We might decide to sell part of our business to outsource much or even split our income by 3. Except ... .We do not live day to day. We have a plan that we want to follow to be quiet in a few years. However, we disconnect one week per month. That is to say, for one week each month, we do not work and make sure not to go on the internet. Finally we love what we do, otherwise we would not have held 11 years!
2. A developer team!
Having one or more web developers who work for you at half-time or full-time is for us indispensable. Without a team of developers, we could not run our business as quickly and would have to confine ourselves to the creation of video training. We could not create software, templates, applications. We could not automate our work as we do so
I know whereof I speak because during my May 1st year of entrepreneurs, I did not developers. I had to find a new developer for every little task I wanted to achieve. Each time I had to explain my whole business developer, how do them the tools I use etc. Big waste of time and money. Having one or more developers allows you to give life to your projects. You can also quickly develop prototypes to test your ideas to see if they have potential.
We work with a team of developers in Romania. They develop our software, e-commerce sites, our market places etc. It is also busy installing our members areas and manage the technical parts of seo. Even as webmarketeur, working with a developer buddy lets you to set up all your strategies without technical gélères.
Know that you can have a web developer based in Romania who works full time for you to € 1,000 per month. But be careful. It must be tested and all are not equal!
3. We automate everything that can be
Unable to manage multiple projects if you do not automate your tasks. We ensure to automate everything that can be. For this we simply buy software and in some cases, we develop custom tools. Here are some examples of actions that we automate:
Update CMS, themes and plugins on all our sites at once
Research partners, journalists etc.
Domain Name Search expired to buy
Installing cms blogs and e-commerce sites
Publication of articles, videos, photos
Sending video on platforms
Publication and management on social networks
Changing the automatic design specific periods on our sites
Changing a form for collecting emails on hundreds of videos in a click
Creating Adwords campaigns
Sending e-mails ..
To automate a maximum of tasks we first spent time creating process. For each of our business and for every human action, we investigate what could be automated. It's simple if you only have one website but it quickly becomes a mess when you're 20 or 30. So I advise you to list all your weekly actions and be sure to see what can be automated . Little trick, most repetitive things performed manually in a web browser can be automated.
In terms of software there are a lot but nothing beats a homemade tool. That said you can use tools like
Scrapebox
Majestic SEO
SpeedPPC
UbotStudio
etc.
4. Establish weekly action plans
I do not like routine but sometimes not there is a choice. We have listed all priority actions we must make every week. We prefer to develop plans of action weekly instead of monthly. There are tasks that we must perform every week. Whatever happens, we make them. Here's an example: every Monday: our statistics are analyzed different tools to make strategic decisions. This also allows us to make decisions in testing AB, marketing events and seo. This is also the Monday that we analyze the performance of our e-commerce sites to see how we can develop their sales.
Every Tuesday: we record the videos of the week and do video editing. And then we write emails and create pages videos
Every Wednesday: meeting with developers, creating specifications.
Every Thursday: Meeting with our partners by product and looking for new partners
Every Friday: line of a new training and new products on our e-commerce sites
I really advise you to function in this way. Then of course, we have not created all ourselves. We bought some of the sites we publish as we have also acquired some e-commerce sites. Our goal is to continually re-invest to develop our business and revenues.
