Welcome to day 30 of Reboot your Blog! Tomorrow is your last day, OMG!

What I want you to consider today is systemization and how you’ll take what you’ve done in Reboot your Blog and carry it forward through the coming months.

DAY 30 OBJECTIVE

Get organized so you can systemize!

DAY 30 ASSIGNMENT

In a web based business like yours, so much of your input – that is, what you’re taking in and then deciding to act on, or not, is via email. You get email from teachers like myself, you get email from service providers, you get email selling you stuff, etc. A lot of it isn’t actionable or useful (of course MY stuff is!) but some of it is.

Plus, you probably keep up with a couple of internet marketing blogs and will see posts rom time to time that have tips or tricks you want to implement.

And, of course, when you’re out and about, falling asleep at night or waiting for the barber, you get ideas for your business, strategies, etc.

All of this has to be captured in a trusted system so that you can put it into action (or review it later). If you’re not familiar with the importance of capture, read Getting Things Done – it’s the classic on the topic.

For the trusted system to be effective, it has to be available to you from just about anywhere – anywhere you might need to capture.

And you need the ability to delegate tasks – perhaps to your virtual assistant, perhaps to your spouse (they love that…)

I’ve tried just about every tool out there, and have been very pleased with Flow mainly because it works seamlessly with email – a capture tool I have available to me from just about anywhere – and because I can easily delegate a task by adding the “@” symbol followed by the name of the person I want to delegate to. It even allows me to delegate to folks who don’t have a Flow account (although all my team members have accounts now).

When I think of something I need to do, I email it to Flow.

When I think of something someone else needs to do, I delegate it to them in Flow.

When I get an email I want to act on, I forward it to Flow.

When I read a blog post I want to act on, I use Reeder’s “Mail Article” function to email the article to my Flow account and create a task for me – or whomever I delegate to.

Of course, there’s an iPhone app, but it also has a well-done HTML5 version for all mobile browsers – that means you too, Android folks.

With the “Activity Feed” I can see everything my team did at night while I was asleep. With live updating comments, everyone is ALWAYS on the same page. With recurring tasks, links are built and rankings maintained without input from me.

If you can’t tell, I really do like Flow. Something better might come around, but this is what I love right now and the above is why.

Whatever your trusted system is, you need one. Give Flow App a try if you don’t have something yet that works for you, they have a 14 day free trial, no credit card required.

Here are some of the tasks I put in my “trusted system” for myself or others to do that will probably be helpful to you:

These are just some of the things I put in my system. That way my brain NEVER has to work – except when I sit down to do that actual work. But it doesn’t have to work at remembering what the work is!

I know you know so much about internet marketing by now, and I want you to prosper, to make money, to build a business with it. The Internet Marketing Makeover is a start, but you’ve got to be carrying on what came from this in the months ahead. Whatever trusted system YOU choose, get one and start using it.

By the end of today’s Reboot your Blog, you have:
