Are you one of many who is finding so much information on the internet, that then you feel overwhelmed with all the information, and don’t know from where to start? Well, I have some good news for you – you are not alone, and I can show you one simple solution of how to eliminate all those distractions.

The Internet – Good or Bad?

The internet is amazing, because if you require some information, you just ‘Google’ it, and you will end up with lots of information instantly. Then you need time to sift through the information to find what you are looking for. However, at times you end up reading, or even watching, something which is totally irrelevant of what you initially set out to look for. This at times is very frustrating, especially if you have just a few hours on your hands to work your business.

In addition, if you are like me, and are eager to learn more stuff, by now you must be on the emailing list of at least 20 people. So you must be receiving at least 20 emails daily, everyone telling you about this amazing opportunity, this amazing product, how with this training a 22 year old managed to earn $$$ in just 2 months, and so on… and that you have to check it out immediately, as the offer is so good that the owner might take down the website with the offer at any time.

The problem with this is that you end up researching each site they send you too, and you end up browsing the internet, trying to figure out how it works. In addition, you end up thinking to yourself “Look this guy has generated so many leads using Article Marketing. I have been using Facebook consistently for 3 weeks and haven’t seen the same results. It must be Facebook’s fault. Let me try Article Marketing.” Then the same thing happens after 3 weeks, and you switch your marketing strategy again and again. Not taking into consideration the amount of time you waste figuring out and trying to set up your new marketing strategy campaign.

Then there are the discussions going on, on Social Networking sites that you have to join to build a relationship, and become ‘known’.

The list goes on and on, and you find that a whole day passed, and you did nothing, except browse the internet. You might have learnt a new thing or two, but remember that your job is to build your business and earn money.

At one point this becomes too frustrating and overwhelming. Some people manage to overcome it – but these are only the determined few. Unfortunately, the majority end up quitting, because they don’t know what to focus on; and find themselves switching from one marketing strategy to another, trying to breakthrough, thinking that what is not working is the marketing strategy that they are using.

The Simple Solution is……..

Eliminate any distractions, focus and commit

So this must be easier said than done. But here are a few strategies that you can use, now that you are aware of what is happening to you.

 If you are new to internet marketing you need to set aside a few weeks to learn the basics, and have your campaign set up.
 After learning the basics, choose ONE marketing strategy that you are going to use to generate traffic to your website.
 Learn the basics that you need to know regarding your marketing strategy that you have decided to use. Then start implementing. You will realize that through doing, you are actually learning a lot. Then you can focus on tweaking and testing your marketing campaign as you learn more while doing.
Commit to this ONE marketing strategy till you become an expert in it. Focus on mastering this marketing strategy, and on generating consistently 20 leads per day from it. DO NOT take up a new marketing strategy until you have mastered your marketing strategy of choice.
Choose wisely your mentors. Focus on a few mentors and stick to their teachings only. Remove any other distractions. It is not that what the others are saying is not good, but you need to focus on the teachings and philosophies of a few great mentors that you resonate with, as otherwise you’ll end up lost trying to learn and implement from everyone’s teachings. So, choose a few mentors and read only their stuff.
 Every week write down a list of things that you want to accomplish for that week. This would be your weekly marketing plan. Also write how many hours you intend to spend on each task. And no matter what you have to get all your tasks done by the end of your week (your target date). By having your goals in writing, you find that you can focus more and achieve much more. The best part of this is ticking the tasks you have achieved. An important note here is, focus on the tasks that bring in the money. Don’t waste time on chit-chatting, or on minor details. So, start writing your goals for this week now.
