When you are stretchednfor time - something usually drops and that "something"nis usually your website. I know that you want to get thatnwebsite to pump out a steady stream of leads - but youndon't have the time to get started.nnI was in the same boat too until I learned how to use mynspare time to promote my website. First, I need to ndescribe what spare time is. Spare time is the time you nspend waiting for a file to download. Spare time is thentime that you are waiting for a application to open. nnSpare time is the time you take a breather from paperwork nto do a little web surfing. If you take the time to look – nyour day has a lot of these little pockets of time that youncan use to promote your website.nnHere's what I suggest doing in those little moments nin your day:n n- Write an Article nOpen the notepad application that comes installed on most ncomputers. Whenever you have a spare moment, start typingnout article ideas. They don't have to be well thought out. nJust ideas of topics that you think your clients would likento know more about (if you're stumped - browse throughnthe articles at www.RealtorInternetTips.com/article.htm). nnOnce you've got a good list, start adding bullet points undereach idea. Again you don't have to complete this all in one sitting just do as much as you can before you have to focus on something else. Throughout your week – gradually add more details to your articles ideas until you have one fairly written out. Now when you get yourself a block of time - finish your article. Make sure you add a "bio box" to the end of your articles - so prospects will know how to link to your website for more information. An example of a good "bio box" can be found at the end of this article nn- Post Your Article On Your WebsitenThis is a very-effective traffic building technique that is neasily down in your spare time.
