How You Can Use Those 5 Minute Gaps To Build Your Legitimate Internet Business

What do you do when you have five to ten minutes of spare time? Here are some ideas on how you can make good use of that time to help your online income business grow.

The majority of people think that not much can be done in these odd gaps during the day, but the truth is that there is quite a bit that can be achieved in short spaces of time and the is no need to let that time go to waste.

If you are prepared then the next time that you have a five or ten minutes with nothing in particular to do, you can do something useful for your online business. You will feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment when you use these small windows of time in a productive manner.

Begin by making a list of all the tasks that can be done in ten minutes or less so that when you do have this time to spare you are not going to sit there thinking about what you should do. It is so much simpler when you already have a list of tasks in front of you and all you need to do is choose one and get it done.

So to get you going here are three ideas on tasks that you can accomplish in a short space of time. Just add your own ideas as you go.

1. Use this time to go through emails that apply to your business. This does not mean spending the time on reading a whole lot of spam emails, just concentrate on those that are important and will help your online income to grow and only use the time that is available, don't extend yourself beyond that period.

People generally spend far too long reading and replying to emails that will not benefit them much as far as their business is concerned, and the worst part of it is that this is done during the time of day that they are usually at their most productive. This is the time when they should be completing work that will help their businesses to grow and succeed.

2. Building back-links to your website is generally a time consuming and tedious task, especially if you try to do it all at once. If you have five minutes to spare why not add a single one-way backlink to your site?

This way the job will still get done, without all the tedium of trying to do it in one long sitting and you can spend the rest of your time on more creative and enjoyable tasks.

There are a few different methods that you can use to build backlinks to your website in about five minutes and here are some of the ways to do that.

a) Comment in forums. Bookmark a few of your favorite forums so that they are easily accessible and visit one when you have some spare time. Just read one or two of the threads that appeal to you if you don't have time for more, and leave a comment or two. If you have filled out your profile information and added your signature this will appear at the bottom of your comment, then if someone is interested in what you have to say and they would like to find out more about you, chances are that they will click on the link to your website in your signature and you will receive an automatic one-way backlink.

b) Comment on a blog or two. Bookmark a few blogs that are of interest to you and are also in the same niche as you are and when you have a few spare minutes go to one or two of them, read their latest post and leave a comment.

Spamming is frowned upon so be sure to read the post and leave a comment that is both relevant and interesting and if someone reads and enjoys it they will click on your signature link and you will have a new backlink to your website. Before you know it you have another one-way backlink.

c) Twitter is a site that you do not need to spend too much time on, but spending five minutes there and making a few tweets with a link back to your website is a great way to fill a time gap. When you post a new article to your blog, tweet that as well and you will get more traffic to your online business in the process.

These are just three ideas to help you make use of some time that would otherwise be wasted and these extra little chores over a month will add up quite substantially in your efforts to build a successful online income business.
