Hello Helen, the time differs with along your business has been up and running. In the beginning you need to attract traffic so your marketing has to be intense and often. Once your traffic has built up then your marketing becomes group specific and not so frequent, but still necessary. The reason for this is if the content is good and your visitors find what they are looking for then word of mouth becomes one of your biggest marketing tool.

Helen this a great question! Time involved in Marketing may not be as important as marketing the correct information. I would look at the material that's being marketed. Does the material look good to you? Why? Now ask yourself if the material looks good to you, then are you the targeted market? We often make this mistake because we haven't drilled down to the root of the problem(s) to be solved.

Your questions are very much on target. I think, well I know marketing becomes a part of your breathing. You market as often as you think you need to if your goals and objectives are not being met in accordance to your marketing plan. Your signature block is part of your marketing and alerts your audience know you're involved in something. Hopefully they ask you what what you do or are doing.

thank you for the questions being a newbie i still don't know what is priority yet.So i do about 2 hours of answering mail and about an 1 hour trying to get ahead. But one little thing or wrong click get set me back days,because i don,t understand.

I don't market nearly as much as I should. Clearly something we all need to focus on a lot more.

All good questions...should make us realize just h ow important marketing really is...thanks...
