We all know the internet has revolutionized the way Network Marketers do business.  Not only can you avoid the shame and embarrassment of pestering family and friends when you market online, you can save yourself time, as well.  But if you’re marketing your Network Marketing business online–or thinking about it–be sure to avoid these traps that will keep you from achieving the level of success you desire.

Trap 1:  Wasting Time on the Internet

Surfing the internet rather than using it for a purpose can be a temptation every time you sit down at your computer . It’s important to be disciplined about what you are going to do when you get on the internet.  If you spend time looking at every story and article, clicking on all the ads, and never actually marketing your Network Marketing business, you’re not going to get very far.

Solution:  Set limits for yourself.  Give yourself a set amount of time–10 or 15 minutes, perhaps–to do whatever you want.  Check the weather, read the latest gossip about Brangelina, and get to work when your time limit is up.

Trap 2:  Checking Your E-mail Excessively

You want to be accessible to your downline and your prospects, so you check your e-mail regularly.  And that’s a good thing!  But spending too much time checking and responding to e-mail can interrupt tasks you are trying to complete and keep you from getting to tasks you should complete.

Solution:  Again, set limits for yourself.  Turn off the “ding” that notifies you when you receive a new e-mail.  Set some time aside in your schedule a couple of times a day to read and respond to e-mail. 

Your downline will be more respectful of your time if you’re accessible but not always available.  And responding to prospects within seconds or minutes just comes across as desperate, if you ask me.

Trap 3:  Trying to Learn Everything at Once

There is so much to learn when it comes to Internet Network Marketing.  Many Network Marketers try to do it all at once–blogging, pay-per-click, forum marketing…the list goes on.  The result is they never become an expert in anything and get dismal results at everything.

Solution:  While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using more than one method of marketing, you should focus your attention on becoming an expert in one area.  Then once you feel you’ve mastered it, you can move on to the next method and master that as well.

Network Marketers who master a method of marketing before trying something different achieve better results…and they’re a lot less frustrated and burned out as a result!
