Allocating a certain amount of time to your money-making tasks takes on a whole new structure when it is broken down to manageable segments.

For instance, you must find out who your where your niche hanging out. What do they look like? Are they male or female? What is their target age group? What are their interests? What relevance does your offer have to solve a problem in their lives that would cause them to act now? You have to draw a composite of each individual person, because, after all, that’s what they are—people and should be treated with such personal approach. You don’t want to see them as a stampede of traffic—although, that’s what you could get, given that you get on a marketing schedule and start getting involved in Social Media hangouts and other forums.

Another thing to decide is once you have found them, how will you get your message across to your audience? What platform will you use? Which vehicle? You could build a list, devote a certain amount of time to writing each day on your blog or in Facebook. You could decide to search within Twitter and look for certain niches there that you could send a tweet out to everyday that is useful to your list?

You could do Pay-Per-Click (PPC) or Pay-Per-View (PPV) marketing where you only pay if someone clicks on your ad and you pay so much per click or view. You have to know what you are doing when attempting this type of marketing. Be sure you get some live-coaching on PPC or PPV marketing, for without, could lose your socks and your shirt!

What I would like to get you to think about is what kind of advertising do you want to do? Solo ads? Classified ads? Offline advertising or Direct Mail? Whatever strategy you use, you take each strategy and work on it for a certain block of time, say, 30 minutes devoted to writing an article and posting it every day on your blog and then rewriting it to be submitted to article directories. There are only 10 or 12 article directories that I would recommend, however, there are hundreds of them around.

Then later, you might write a note on Facebook or on your Fan Page and allot 20 minutes for that. Maybe later, you decide to go with posting classified ads for 30 minutes each day. On an alternate day, you might do SalesSpider or LinkedIn for 20 minutes each task. Get connected with people and genuinely try to be of help to them.

This is the very beginning for researching what your market wants and then giving it to them. So think about the different ways that you could reach your market and talk to them and give them value where you are seen as a trusted expert in your niche.
