Spending Too Much Time Online
Those of us marketing our home based businesses online often build up accounts at several social networking sites, traffic exchanges, article directories, and other sites commonly used to network with potential business leads.
It is quite easy to get distracted and and start wandering around in cyberspace. Your time gets swallowed up without realizing it. You also end up feeling fatigued and unfocused.
Social Networking sites like Facebook and MySpace are notorious for taking up hours of time.
It is critical that you make a list of your daily marketing activities.
- List the site,
- Exactly what you will do on the site,
- How much time you will spend there,
- What time of the day or evening you will do it.
You have to stick to your list and not get distracted.
Once you are finished with your online marketing activities, close your browser windows and walk away from the computer.
You may think you can surf the internet and find valuable content for your business.
Your time would be better spent contacting your customers, following up on your leads, and touching base with your team to brainstorm.
If you like to surf the net, schedule it into your activities and save it for after you have done more important things.
Last thing…always give yourself a day off!
You need one day a week to unplug from your business activities, turn off the computer and enjoy your family!
To be effective at building your Network Marketing business online, you have to keep yourself from getting lost in a virtual world.
Believe In Your Success, I Do!
