Growing Your Pet Reach In 15 Minutes

Guest post by Blog Manager Robbi Hess

There are times when I bemoan the
fact that I don’t have enough time in the day or enough time to
complete
Project X, Y or Z, but then I realized that rather than looking at Project X as
a HUGE project, I started looking at it as project that could break into bite
size morsels and actually complete. The idea of breaking that big project down
into smaller portions relieved a lot of stress and got me to thinking… what
could I (or you) accomplish in 15-minute chunks.

When you consider what can be done to
build the reach of your pet blogging and social media campaigns in less than 15
minutes a stretch, you will likely be even more productive than you’d ever
imagined.

Here are 15 items you could complete
in 15 minutes (or less):

• Research a blog post
• Take a picture for upcoming blog
  posts
• Outline a proposal to a site on which
  you’d like to be a guest blogger
• Write a blog post (yes, a post can be
  written in 15 minutes!)
• Write down notes on updates you want
  to make to your website
• Pen a paragraph for a book you want
  to write
• You could write five (challenge
  yourself for 10) Tweets
• Set the timer for 15 minutes and
  update your LinkedIn, Google+ and Facebook page
• Brainstorm blog ideas then put them
  on your editorial calendar
• Comment on three blog posts by pet bloggers
  that you follow
• Pick up the phone and finish an
  interview with an influential pet blogger (provided you had it scheduled prior
  to your 15-minute time slot)
• Connect with five individuals or
  businesses on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Google+
• Comment on status updates of
  individuals or business pages that you follow
• Add to, delete from, or sign up for
  Google alerts.
• Dive into those to-be-read books in
  your stack so you can get them reviewed and on your website.
