As we launch our online e businesses, many of us are still working other jobs, some are partially taking care of the kids at the same time, et cetera.
With limited time, it's important that we make the most out of what valuable minutes we get.
The more productive we are online, the faster we can increase our profits.
We're going to use a new online business owner as an example.
Let's say he wants to sell hand drawn caricatures online and he has just invested in a membership of an online money making club.
Once he starts learning from his money making mentor, he'll get bombarded with information about websites he should visit, memberships he should sign up for, articles he should write, ads he should place, e banks and affiliates to join, movie clips he should make, forums he should join, special tricks with Google Alerts, you name it.
If you've done it, you know first hand what I'm talking about.
Here's a super simple trick that will 1) speed up your learning curve, and 2) make you more efficient from the start: Daily e business work is almost exclusively done by visiting different websites.
Websites can be bookmarked.
Bookmarks can be named by you and saved under those names.
So what you want to do is to create a new bookmarks folder.
In it, place only bookmarks for websites you use to run your e business.
Then, named all of your bookmarks after the task they each represent.
No business or website names, only your online job descriptions.
Website icons are still there to represent the brand, by the way.
When I open my bookmarks folder every day, it instantly reminds me of what all of my new daily e tasks are.
With a very hectic rest of my life, bookmarking like this helps me jump right into it and pick up where I last left off.
No more slow starts for me.
Going back to the caricature artist for a more concrete example: He'll probably use at least two different bookmarks for his Money Making Mentor's membership website - one for the step-by-step video tutorials, and one for the support forum.
Suggested bookmark names: "Learn from videos here" and "Ask questions here".
He might have also been advised to sign up as a vendor with a certain website.
I expect he'd frequent at least two of their pages on a daily basis.
Instead of using the default names that the website supplies for bookmarks, naming them "Submit new products here" or "Set commission rates here" and "Monitor profit here".
For his domain name service, he'd name a bookmark, "Administer website here".
You get the idea.
By doing this from the beginning, not only does it speed up the learning process, but it also helps to clearly distinguish and remind me what the daily tasks really are.
When we need to learn complex concepts quickly, compartmentalized learning is efficient learning.
Personally, I only get limited hours to do my e business stuff every day, and making every click as meaningful as possible might seem a bit obsessive, but I must say I prefer to make things easy for myself when I have a choice.
How about you?
