If you’re a fan of Internet Marketing congratulations, there truly is nothing like the internet to help you grow your home based business business and reach your goals even faster.
However, if you’re going to spend several hours a day on internet marketing, you’ll want to look out for these time wasters so that you’re getting the most of your time online.
Time Waster: Browsing videos
I love video marketing and I highly, highly recommend it for anyone who is involved in a home based business. However, try not to get sucked into watching videos online instead of actually publishing your own. I’m sure that every single online marketer has been guilty of this at least once or twice. You’re on YouTube or Revver or any other free video site and you see one video that peaks your interest. Then another video pops up and you watch that one, then another and then another.
I know watching videos is fun but it’s not going to help your home business so get in, upload and edit your videos and get out.
Time Waster: Chatting on forums
Marketing on forums is another great way to get people interested in your business or product. Just don’t spend all day talking on forums when you could be doing other forms of marketing. Trust me, it’s easy to let time get out of your hands when on a forum. Try setting a timer or an alarm for Twenty or Thirty minutes; only allowing yourself that much time per day to market on forums. This will stop you from chatting on forums all day and allow you to get more done.
Time Waster: Spending too much time on a blog
Look, you’re not writing for the New York Times so don’t spend forever trying to come up with the perfect blog post. Just keep it simple and never spend more than 10 – 15 minutes a day updating your blog– It doesn’t have to be perfect!
Time Waster: Organizing
It’s good to be organized, but let’s be honest- organizing your home office or your desktop on your computer can hardly be called internet marketing. Try getting all that out of the way beforehand and spend your time marketing doing just that- marketing. A prospect doesn’t care if your file cabinet is neat and tidy.
Stay away from these easy to avoid time wasters and you’ll be getting the most out of your marketing time and best of all success will be right around the corner!

Guilty as charged, think I have done all of those at least once and probably more often. Getting organise should really mean getting on with it.

Thank you!
I agree, Brian. I’ve been guilty of “getting ready to get ready” in the past as well. Thx for the reply. LR
Sigh, I’m just addicted to twitter readers at this point. They honestly don’t do a lot for me, but yet it just allows me a joyful feeling within understanding that persons are actually, well quite possibly reading what I write about.
