Are you struggling to be productive with your blogging business?

Does it always seem like 24 hours isn’t enough for you to get your daily tasks done?

Listen to This Episode

As bloggers or online entrepreneurs, things can get very hectic as we keep piling stuff onto our plates.

We often feel that we need to do everything ourselves either because we want to make sure it's done correctly or that we just couldn't afford to get help.

Most of the time, setting up the right systems can make a HUGE difference.

Knowing the right systems and using them effectively can greatly reduce the amount of time spent in developing and growing our blogging businesses.

Inside This Episode:

Erin Chase is known for being AWESOME at creating systems to get MORE STUFF DONE, as what we will discover in today's interview.

How To Create Systems To Get Stuff Done And Grow Your Blogging Business – with Erin Chase

She is the founder of the 5 Dollar Dinners blog and the author of the $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook series. Her blog is original home of the 20 Meals for $150 Meal Plan series.

She works hard to keep up with the countless meals and snacks that she needs to serve to keep her 4 young boys going strong.

She lives in San Antonio, TX, with her husband, 4 boys and furry boy dog! Erin is also one of the cofounder of Digital Colab, a network of web professionals looking to grow their influence and income in the digital space.

So, you wonder, how does she get a lot done?

She is very much into setting up systems which, she says, include:

  • A solid support system (in her case, it's her husband).
  • A great network of help.
    • Outsourcing VAs
    • Tech support
    • Article contributors
    • (And, a part-time nanny to help with housework)
  • Proper time management
    • Not wasting time on Facebook and other social networks
    • Deleting mobile apps

Knowing all of this, of course, isn't enough. Taking action and taking it a step further to eliminate things that waste your time or hinders your productivity will make this more effective. She introduces us to using work blocks where one spends uninterrupted time accomplishing tasks for the day.

How are we able to structure work blocks more effectively? She'll share more about it in the interview with us. Make sure to listen so you'll get all the details you need in becoming more productive the Erin Chase way 🙂

Enjoy!
