The Hard Parts Of A Work-at-home Internet Marketer
I used to have fantasies of a career in Internet marketing. You know the ones…lounging around the house with a laptop…making sales while I sleep…no bosses…no time clocks…you know the fantasies.
Is it all sweet peaches and cream? Well, not exactly. Here are just a few issues which Internet marketers find they have to deal with
- How do you tell your family and friends you are quitting a perfectly great job so you can stay home and “work on the Internet”?
- How do you explain to people you really do have a job and you really do need to work the biggest part of 40 hours each week and you really don’t have any more time to devote to “committee” work than anyone else.
- Non-Internet marketers simply do not understand the importance of an ISP with 99.99% uptime! It’s been a stormy season here this year. Sometimes the DSL help desk simply does not understand why I NEED my connection back up!
- Internet marketing puts a different perspective on the word “backup”. An Internet marketer’s computer files are the company assets! Most of us neglect doing proper backups. An Internet marketer MUST learn this discipline! I have files scattered from C: to F:…I finally subscribed to a great off-site backup system and now sleep much better!
- All successful Internet marketers have one thing in common. We are all very driven and can remain on task and focused for hours on end. This ability is a very powerful asset! But it must be managed! Friends, family, your yard, the dogs…all these WILL suffer unless the marketer takes active steps. All of us, by nature as Internet marketers, must constantly keep ourselves in check and keep priorities in perspective.
Ok, enough of the serious stuff for now! My wife and I are going for a walk!
