I'm going to be moving into doing eCommerce full time in January. I know each business and industry are different but what are some of daily tasks of running your online business?

Josh

Checking orders; checking avs/cvv2 response codes before processing orders; checking stats; checking/modifying ads; responding to emails; assigning tasks for my supplier's rep; creating PO's; returning phone calls; updating/adding products and/or variants; checking forums for new posts; packing orders; shipping orders; processing invoices from my suppliers; updating quickbooks; backing up all portions of the site (weekly)

I'm sure there's more that I do each day but I can't think of them.

This is a good question. I would ad the following, knowing that I will leave out many more as well.

Adding content to the site, keywords, products, modfifying pictures, updating sitemaps, adding listings in directories, creating shipping labels, sending tracking emails, answering the sales inquiries.
