This is the first official post on Online Bull. I hope I will get a lot of response from you guys. Let’s get on to the post now.
I was first introduced to internet marketing when I was around 12 years old. During those days, I had no idea how to do it, I just knew that it was possible to make money from the internet. About two years later, I seriously got into the game and was planning on making lots of money online. I had many reasons for trying to make money online. But, like 99% of the newbies, I struggled and failed a lot of times. I realized that one needs to be organized to be a successful internet marketer.
You Need to be Organized
As a school student, I don’t have a lot of time in my hands. Most of my time is taken up by studies and homework, so I can’t focus all of my time on internet marketing. Maybe, you’re in a similar situation like me. So let me give some tips on how to manage your time effectively as an internet marketer. Here is what you can do:
- Create a time table - Although it is not necessary, creating a time table for yourself can be very helpful. I recommend creating a weekly time table. You can list out all your daily activities and assign a particular time for each one of them. Make sure that you set apart around 2-3 hours for your internet marketing activities. Plan in advance what you are going to do in those hours (like fifteen minutes for checking email, thirty minutes for commenting, etc).
- Don’t waste your Time - This is the most important thing. Don’t waste your time in logging into your inbox, signing into your dashboard, etc. You can save precious time by setting your inbox as your homepage, signing into your dashboard automatically, etc. These few tricks can save you lots of time.
- Focus your time on more Important things - Do what you think would be more profitable or good for your business. Don’t waste your time in doing unimportant stuff. If you’re doing two things, spend more time on the one which would give you more profits.
- Don’t get distracted - It is easy to get distracted when you are doing something. Try to cut down all sorts of possible distractions.
Remember, time is your most valuable asset. And managing time is the most essential skill for an internet marketer. All the best.

I suck at time management and it is something that I am really trying to focus on! Time tables are fantastic, and one thing that has worked well for me is logging off msn!

It is only a few days ago since I started to create a time table of my “blogging” task and things could have never been easier

Creating a timetable is so handy and valuable. When I write HTML/CSS I broke it down into process sections and charted my time for each section and found out I spent the most time writing CSS! Infact almost 45 minutes more than writing the HTML.
When you analyze you get effective results.

Ah, Time Table
Its the easiest part and I’m sure each one of us has written a time table on paper about at least 1 time in life.
The real problem is “How long ur able to follow it”?
My new year resolution “No sleep without completing my daily time table”
