Hi All,

Here's the scenario:

1. I travel a lot overseas.
2. Internet connection is sporadic.
3. I only have about 20 minutes a day to work on the internet business.
4. I have a laptop with me.

So...

What can I do everyday, in less than 20 minutes, that will help move my business forward, with the above limitations?

I know you warriors can come up with a million things!


Thanks!

Ed

    Outsource. Twenty minutes should be enough time.

    Without knowing anything about your business, this is a hard question to answer. When I have small blocks of time like 20-30 minutes, I normally use it for catching up on some reading in the various industries in which I'm involved, or doing niche research, or posting on forums. If there are any site maintenance tasks that need to be done, they can fit nicely into a 20-minute block. Link building is another thing that can be done a little bit here and there.

    Most of the stuff you could do will not actually require an internet connection. So you need to make those 20 minutes super-productive.

    I will have to agree with the other person, use your 20 minutes online to outsource the things that you have put into play while you were not online.

      What are the stuff you would say can be done without the internet connection?

      Thanks!

        Writing, composing, designing, proofreading etc.

        We don't know what your business is, so this is just guesswork.

        I write a lot of articles and blog posts. I don't need an internet connection for that.

        Creating sales copy and planning marketing campaigns do not require an Internet connection either.

        Product development and building my autoresponder follow-ups also does not require an Internet connection.

        LOL

        If I did not come here every few hours, I would not need an Internet connection for most of the day.

        I could do all of the above defined work, set them up in emails to send to my Virtual Assistant, hit send and log off.

        All you really need the Internet connection for is to send and receive email, and to process any necessary refunds.

        If you have a good VA, that person will take care of all of the details for you.
