Learn, Plan And Take Action Immediately
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. And don't forget to do something with your studies and your time.
People act or react on the net in different
ways… and at least two attitudes must be avoided:
1. ignorance, and
2. too much study with no action.
If you
are ignorant and think that you’ll make it even if you do 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 immediatelyand 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 experience. Or write here about your actions...
Thanks.

Thanks, Teo, for sharing that experience and for warning us newbies. I have already fallen into the trap to the extent that I hardly have time to do any meaningful things effectively. I have been stretched too thin relative to my available time and infrastructure.
The worst offenders are the so-called free ads resources that get my inboxes clogged up with mails to click. I also have friends inviting me all the time to join their forums, several free tips and articles to read, uncountable new

Haven't we all been through that Teodor.
An experience we will never forget. Sometimes
unfortunately for some, the teething takes a long
time.
Luckily we have a place like Apsense to warn the newcomers
and hopefully make their teething a little easier.
Well written my friend.
