Few years ago, back to the days when I was a beginner in Internet marketing I got into an information overload mode… I constantly studied more and more resources without taking any specific action. I was always learning the “new thing” but never put it into immediate practice in my business. Now I learn, plan and take action immediately.

If you wait or store information on your overloaded mind or computer, you forget about it and loose it…

As I was there, I’m trying to figure out the places where beginners in marketing online spend too much or all of their precious time:

- Joining all social networking sites, or joining without a goal 

- Spending too much time in too many forums

- Trying to become an expert by reading too many ebooks and manuals 

- Joining as many as possible guru’s lists; subscribing to too many newsletters

- Wasting time with traffic exchanges

- Grabbing all the free gifts and downloads from the net

I don’t say that you must stop joining or spending time on some of the above places, only take care of how much time you spend and in how many places, and see if there is any efficiency in what you do.

People act or react on the net in different ways… and two attitudes must be avoided: ignorance and too much study. If you are ignorant and think that you’ll make it even if you do nothing and learn nothing, you are totally wrong. If you are studying too much and forget to apply, you are wrong again. Find a balance, study but take action immediately and I am sure you will see the results.

If you know more places where people spend too much time on cyberspace, help us find out and learn from your negative experience.

Thanks.
