Do Not Browse The Internet Again, Until You Read This!

When last did you visit the Internet and did exactly the only thing that took you there?

Chances are that you wanted to visit a blog or a website where you will get information that will help you increase your knowledge of your business, which will eventually lead to increased income. But before then you wanted to check your private mail to know whether a relative or bossom friend sent you a mail, and then before you logged into your inbox, you saw a catchy MSN or Yahoo news headline on Obama or George Bush, Clinton, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Beyonce, Shakira, Sean Connery, your favorite actor, your football club, your best artiste or just anybody or anything. You love politics or business or sports or entertainment, so you click on the news on your area of interest. After the news, you either consider making some further findings on what you read (yes, I bet you will want to do that because we are at the age of information, and nobody wants to get it second hand. Besides, who knows if you will be the next President Obama or the next Bill Gates or Abramovic or the big time investor in the next award-winning movie or music?), or you quickly check your inbox, and there lies some messages from your friends in Myspace, or Facebook. Then you want to reply the message. Then before you know it, you sign in for chatting. You are yet to visit the site or blog that made you want to browse the Internet in the first place. And as these things are happening, another important thing is also taking place: time is fast ticking away!

There are so many scenarios that I can’t quite remember now. But sadly enough, they exist and all they do is take your precious time. You hardly browse the internet and come out having done exactly what you had actually planned to do, except, of course, you know what I’m about to tell you now.

So, how did I know? I wonder if that question is necessary, considering the detailed description I gave of exactly what obtains when you browse the Internet casually. I’ve been there before, that’s why I know what is obtainable. Browsing the Internet in a casual manner is destructive, or better put, a waste of resources. You waste your time and you waste your money. You might even be surprised that some people will drift from the conditions mentioned above to pornographic sites where they will spend the rest of the day getting sexually aroused (This is especially if the person has his personal computer).
The reason you practically loiter around the World Wide Web jumping from one website to another aimlessly is because you do browse the Internet casually. And if you are an Internet marketer, it is a crime against yourself.
You see, the way we learnt about the Internet was that it is for pastime. You just go there when you want to lazy about or chat with a friend. And to so many people, the Internet has not changed from that. It still is where you visit casually and come out the same way. That casual mentality has made even those who are into on-line business to see money therefrom as “money that comes by the way”

But today, I have an advice for you: each time you want to browse the Internet, plan and write down in black and white, whatever you want to do on the Internet!
This is also why you need to have your writing materials handy, so that each time a thought about what you want to do on the Internet comes into your mind, you will have somewhere to record it.

Once you write down whatever you want to do on paper, and visit the Internet with the paper where you outlined where and where you want to visit, then you’ve got the precision of a man working with his “to-do list”. This way nothing will distract you because your notebook (or a very small jotter) will act as your compass that directs you on where you are sailing to, and get you focused whenever there’s any likelyhood of you getting derailed. I have my little jotter, which I use as my compass as far as browsing the Internet is concerned. It keeps me organised throughout my stay on the Internet, for each day.
This advice can easily be overlooked (in fact it is too simple to mean much to unserious marketers.), but it has the capacity to make a success of many struggling on-line marketers.
