10 Minute Marketing

A friend of mine was telling me this idea last month to keep yourself productive. I think it came from 7 Highly Effective Habits and it’s the idea of classifying your most important tasks as “Big Rocks”. The idea is that if you have sand, water and rocks and try to fit them in a glass there’s  a right way and wrong way.

If you fill the glass in this order, water, sand then big rocks they won’t all fit in there. BUT, if you put in your big rocks first, then sand and finally water, you can fit it all in.

This is where 10 minute marketing fits in. If you concentrate on your Big Rocks and fitting them into your week, then pack your smaller tasks around and finally fill it in with water you will accomplish much more. The bonus is the idea of 10 minute marketing being the sand and the water. Using 10 minute marketing, after you concentrate on your big rocks you have your left over time that you can check off an item in your 10 free minutes and it will get you much closer to your final goal of being profitable online.

I wrote more about 10 minute marketing in this free pdf I put together last week.

I have been using this to fill in my extra time and diversify my traffic for AffPortal and getting my other seo projects indexed quickly. Eventually it will lead to steady organic traffic. Paid traffic campaigns are my big rocks, 10 minute marketing is the sand and water surrounding my paid traffic campaigns.

What are your Big Rocks and how do you fill in the gaps when you pile them up?
