was sick with a stomach bug yesterday and didn't get to post this on the appropriate day, but thought I'd go ahead and post it today. I make every Monday "Marketing Monday" for myself. I take time that morning to see what I need to do marketing wise. I do this on Mondays for two reasons. Number one, not much seems to be due on Mondays so I have a little time and two, it's a good way to freshen up my web presence so hopefully I'll get another job offer in the week.

Things I do on Monday are:

- Research potential clients to promote to
- Update my online portfolio listings
- Search some illustrators and see what they are doing to promote themselves
- Evaluate my web stats
- Think and dream about my long term goals (by doing this I sometimes come up with new ideas)

I've tended to stick with this method for a couple of years and it really works out for me. I don't have to worry much about finding the time to do all those things since I've designated time every week. It's also nice to know my web portfolios aren't out of date.
