When I started to blog and market online, one of the initial impressions I remember having was, “There sure is a lot of reading involved with business on the internet!”
It’s true. When you’re trying to overcome the learning curve that goes along with starting an internet based project like blogging, you will face a pretty heavy load of reading if you hope to get up to speed quickly. Some of the things you’ll want to be reading are other blogs and websites, tutorials, ebooks, and you’ll probably be reading more and more emails from people that you network with as you start or maintain your venture.
Let’s take a closer look at your reading so you can understand it and start to develop this primary habit.
Blogs and Websites
No matter how advanced your skills are, you’re going to have to maintain a certain level of knowledge about what’s going on in your industry. This means keeping up with anything your partners and competitors are writing about. In order to create a habit for doing this, I suggest subscribing to the RSS feeds for those websites, so that you can spend a few minutes every day keeping tabs on the people you know online. If you’re unfamiliar with RSS, you can learn more by reading my articles, “What the heck is RSS?” or, “Managing your RSS feeds”.
Ebooks
Ebooks are a popular way for people who work on the internet to read. Ebooks can be stored on your hard drive, or on a CD or iPod for easy transport between computers. There are hundreds of ebooks floating around on the internet… some of them may cost you your email address, and there are others that you could purchase if you were inclined to do so.
Books
Hardback and paperback business books are also a good reading choice for marketers. A classic textbook for marketers is Guerrilla Marketing by Jay Conrad Levinson. One book that I’m enjoying right now myself is called The Magic of Thinking Big by David J Schwartz… not quite a marketing book, but it’s certainly a way to feed the reading habit.
Develop the habit of reading
In order to develop your core reading habit, I suggest spending between 15 minutes and half an hour a day doing nothing but reading. It may not feel completely natural at first if you aren’t used to dedicating time to it each day, but that’s the thing with habits… it gets easier and easier the more you do it. Try to find that half an hour before you go to sleep, or maybe during your lunch break at work. If you’re able to read at the same time every day, it makes it much easier and more natural to create the habit.
