Here’s an effective and simple way to figure out what you should be spending time on to market and promote your site.
1- Write down all the activities you do to draw visitors. Include any active marketing and promotion — this exercise is not for passive items.
2- For the next week, every time you do something to market or promote your site, write it down. At the end of the week, star each action that in some way contributed to generating a profit. Sort them by how much money they made you, then in reverse order of how long each activity took.
Remember that if a combination of four actions makes you $100, group them together as one item and add their time expenditure together.
3- Anything you did that doesn’t make the list of contributions to a sale, de-prioritize them.
