Daily Chores, Your Farmer List RE: @ChrisBrogan

  Chris Brogan recently wrote a list of daily chores. It's a great starter list for bloggers. I love this list and thought I'd expand on it. Don't forget to check out the rest of his posts here.

 Chris Brogan's Daily Chores

• Get your blog post up. Make it helpful, worthy of comments, and unique.
• Comment on other people’s blog posts.
• Share other people’s blog posts.
• Comment back to people who’ve commented on your blog.
• Read something not related to your market.
• Connect with five people not in your vertical or your geography.
• Reconnect with people who matter. Drop an email or call. Don’t ask for anything.
• Look at the map of where you think things are going for your business. Anything change?
• Read the “weather” from the blogs you follow. Anything there?
• Think about what seeds you might plant for future projects.
• Share at the farmer’s market your best yields. 

Twitter Chores 

• Look up one new person, connect, introduce yourself. Try to help someone.
• RT a friend who said something you like.
• Say something interesting and relevant to your field or what you did that day, preferably not related to your food unless you are a chef (or being lame, like I've done multiple times).
• Tweet your blog post of the day.
• Send someone to an article that you know will help them answer a problem.
  

Sales Chores

• Set Goals, decide what your strategy is, decide who you want to target.
• Decide how you are going to target new leads. Take action.
• Ideas: Make phone calls, send post cards, make fliers, use social media, take advantage of banner ads, build your database and CRM.
• If you now offer new services re-evaluate past clients.
• Did you really like working with a particular client. Re-look at their site, determine any new ideas or recommendations, evaluate, draw up a plan and send it to them.
  

Other Social Media Chores

• Double check your grammar and spelling on past posts, update any outdated content. 
• Make sure your old blog posts have pictures.
• Make sure all your profiles have fully filled out bios.
• Make sure all your profiles have pictures.
• Use unique and catchy titles on all your posts. 
  

Weekly Chores

• Back up your files in THREE places. Examples: dropbox, hard-drive, your computer, and a server. In this example I'm expecting that you can't hold all your files on your computer which is why I added a fourth place.
• Backup your photos to Flickr, Facebook or Picassa.
• Invite one person to coffee.
  

Monthly Chores

• Update your social media picture and designs (for example on twitter you would update your background).
• Take a deep breath, don't let life get you down. Contact me if I can help you.
