Are you wasting your time on the net?

- Are you sitting all day long behind your computer searching for tricks, placing adds, creating new blogs and new sites, running forums with the sole idea of getting the $$ flowing in from the advertizing?

Did you ever have the feeling that all the work you do on line does not really bring you the cash you hoped to get?
Did you ever ask yourself if perhaps you were not doing it right? Or worse, if perhaps you were wasting your time?

- Yes, it can happen, especially when you forget what I call the basic evaluation that brings you back on track.
- Here are some suggestions as to how to evaluate and what to evaluate:

Evaluating the ‘symptoms’:
- You spend more than 8 hrs per day behind your monitor (this is a regular job schedule) and maybe you already have a regular job, ups!, multiple jobs.
What started up as a hobby has become a second job?

I know lots of people that next to a regular job they spend all their free time writing for the world to read, either in forums or blogging.

If you happen to be away from your monitor and don’t carry a laptop your mind can’t stop wondering where you can get online next to check the stats.

If you have any of these ‘symptoms’ you probably need to disconnect and have some real fresh air. Need to get out, have some fun, I mean real physical fun.
Here a simple question: When was the last time you went out shopping? Picture this: a day flashed by and you did not even get up from your chair; you eat while you read or wrote, you talked on the phone while you browsed… dude, these are real bad habits, no good.
Have you visited a real shop lately? Ah, of course, who wants to go physically shopping when all can be bought online? Yes, so very convenient, but extremely unhealthy so watch out! Don’t want to scare you but, hey, you know what they say: ‘mens sana in corpore sano’

Evaluating Personal and Motivational benefits:
- If the day went by so fast it probably means that you were having a good time, so that is a positive point to consider.
- Did you feel invigorated or tired at the end of the day?
- Did you get new ideas for developing your business through all the hours spend browsing around? This may be considered of immense value, sometimes even more that cash flow.

Evaluating measurable Results:
- How many hours did you invest in your business?
- Did you have to spend a lot of money to make it work?
- How much time you did you spend doing research?
- And here comes the final question: How much $$ did this bring you?
Time to reach your own conclusion:
This should be quite simple: Do the math and then decide.

- If cash is more important to you than fun and learning new things, than you should give more points to your measurable results than to your personal and motivational benefits.
- In any case, my honest opinion is that, In spite of all, if you did have fun, no matter how much or how less $$ income you got, I guess this is the thing for you, so please don’t quit.

I created this blog to help all of you ”addicted to the net” like me and to continue doing what I like most: write, work from your home and enjoy the free life.

Adios
