The other day I did a post about marketing budget(s)/time management and got so many emails (asking me) about how exactly it can be broke down, so I wanted to share with all!

Try to take it with a day by day approach; Day 1, Day 2 etc., rather then on Monday I will do this, or Tuesday I will do that.  I break it down into 5 days, and if one of the days is skipped I do not throw off my plan this way.

At the very least you could break it down to 3 hours a day, 5 days aweek.  That will give you 15 hours that you can easily accomplish a lot.  I would work more hours in eventually, but most of the people reading this blog are working a full time job, AND setting up a dropshipping business.  I want to help YOU.  Here is how it would look:

• Day 1 - Spend 3 hours a day adding product, images and content.  This includes all re-writes of content, new photos and products.
• Day 2 - Spend 3 hours a day blogging.  This includes writing your own blogs, and finding new ones related to your topic to befriend.
• Day 3 - Spend 3 hours a day working on nothing but Content.  You will need content to post on other websites besides yours, content for articles, content for press and content for social media.
  
• Day 4 - Spend 3 hours a day working on Search Engine Marketing.  This includes; Search Engine Optimization, Link Building, Social Media Optimization, Any kind of Brand Management and Search Marketing.
• Day 5 - Spend 3 hours a day maintaining the business.  You will need time for financial aspects as well as general business running tasks that need to be completed weekly.

Of course, you will need to take time to fulfill orders, handle customer service issues, and anything else of that nature during the normal days as well!  If you see where I am going with this, you can add to the days, list and hours.  You will need to modify it, but this is the model that I used when first starting out.  It seemed to help me manage my time better and accomplish 100 times more then I had in past.
