In this article I'm going to share with you why it's so important to stay off the internet if you want to have a successful internet business. One of the greatest mistakes network marketers make, is not leveraging their time for profit.
I've been guilty of this I will admit, this is why I can write about it and share with you tips that have helped me leverage my time. The biggest pitfall that we create for ourselves is "Web Trapped By Default" or WTBD. WTBD simply means, being absent minded to the entanglements of the Web...it's addicting to click, click and click.
How I tromped WTBD and "reprogrammed" my "default".
1. Start your week with a written plan of action: A. What do you want to achieve this week, then break it down into daily segments of action. B. Chart the time allot to accomplish these goals daily. C. Let family, friends etc. know you are unavailable at the time you designated to achieve your goals. E. Be focused and ready to go, NO drifting from your written plan of action!
2. Get organized: A. Create a system that's easy for You to follow. B. I color coordinate everything I do. Example: Purple note book and folder for, Video titles, blog post and snippets of articles collected. Green note book and folder for: My E-book I'm preparing to publish Red note book and folder for: Meal planning and local events... you get the idea I'm sure.
3. Ping.Fm: Link together all social media such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, FriendFeed with Ping.Fm or syndication site of our choice. This way when you post or when you want to get the attention of your audience you can post from one central location. TIP: I use my smart phone to send out messages thus it keeps me from wasting time.
4. Eliminate clutter: A. Delete e-mails that you've opted into in which you're not reading. B. Keep labeled folders on your desktop with notes and clickable links to help you navigate quickly to that which you are researching. C. Pick up your work space after each use so focusing within your allot time will be a breeze and not frustrating with trash.
5. Back up your work: I can't say enough about this...Back Up Your Work Every day this will save you time, money, tears and frustration if your computer decides to retire...(this was a nice way of saying it).
My Internet business is a breeze and runs like a machine now that I've implemented these time saving strategies and yours can too!
