Many people love to build their internet mlm business from home on a part time basis. Therefore because it is part time so you need to really be very focused before you can earn serious amounts of money. This article highlights 5 major time wasters in any internet mlm business and explains how you can avoid them somewhat.

Paralysis by analysis

Any one who has been building an internet mlm business for sometime will have realized by now that there are 101 internet mlm business ventures online. Most if not all of them have the same concept or rewarding those who refer more people than others. A good idea would be to spend time finding one program that has a monthly payment fee that is acceptable to you and work hard to build that business.

There will always be greener pastures out there and unless you focus and learn what it takes to build one business, you will always be running off to the next best thing without making any money online in your internet mlm home business.

Cold lead calling

An internet home based business has the advantage of online lead generation. If you are not using an automated followup system you are seriously wasting a lot of time. Link an automated followup system to your landing page for whatever business venture you want to be involved in and then once someone signs up, your system goes to work and helps them get started.

There is only one of you and if you were to spend time calling cold leads that you purchased off the internet, you might as well join an offline mlm business. Focus your time on generating more targeted website traffic to your internet landing page and start seeing more targeted signups and visitors to your business.

Get rich quick schemes

There are many types of scams online. Some of them promise you that you will start making money quickly online. The problem with this is that those that do promise you fast riches also tend to be ponzi scams that run off with your money. You are therefore better off if you spent your time focusing on mlm business ventures and working to promote them. The top internet marketers like Stone Evans, he develops profitable business websites and then spends his energy promoting these websites.

Its all about promotion really in any internet home business. The more leads and people you generate from your promotions the more money you make. Teach your downline this and you will find them thanking you a lot later.

Million Hits Traffic Generation schemes

Following from the previous point, some people therefore think that the more website traffic the better their sales. They end up joining some traffic generation scheme and spent their day clicking on traffic exchanges. Personally I think this is a waste of time if you do not do it correctly. Everyone on such exchanges is a business owner and therefore unless you can show your business is better than theirs, you will not get any signups.

Others waste time by purchasing million hits from companies that claim to sell website traffic. These typically are popunder and popup advertising. Most people today online are tired and sick of such ads and as a result their effectiveness online has been dropping.

What works then? Article marketing and Pay Per Click Advertising. Spend time online reading about these two methods and you will start making money online.

Molly cuddling downlines

The very basis of an internet home based business is that you want to get downlines who are serious in building a business. You want to attract people who can work on their own and make money on their own. Spending time managing your downlines is the biggest mistake any internet mlm business owner will do as your downlines will start emulating you and your business will not work. Your downlines should be spending their efforts on promotion and not managing the business as this is the basis of network marketing. Teach them that you treat promotion daily as an important thing to do and ask them to do likewise to build their internet mlm business.

In conclusion, like Steven Covey states, first things first. Like any top CEO of a company, spend time on profit making activities first and other less important things second. Take massive action today on the "right things" and start seeing massive profits online.

Ant vs Elephant, Ant has a case?
By: instaloans | 06-07-2008
 Of an Ant and an Elephant,Once upon a time there was not just a big, but a very big jungle under the scope of a tiny Ant?s eye. The Ant was enormously curious about the jungle but this jungle was not only big, but very big under the tiny Ant?s eye. The Ant spent all of his time wondering how he could see it all, but the jungle, it sometimes seemed, was too big for this tiny Ant with the big curiosity.The Ant, trusting in the Lord, was always very sure that what he wanted he would get. And one day, very late in the day?another day that the Ant had spent pondering his problem?he came up with an idea. This idea could solve his problem and allow him to see more of the jungle. He would make a very special pair of shoes for his tiny feet. These shoes would allow him to do things he normally could never do, like walk through water and fly as Aladdin flew on the magical carpet.So the Ant started working on the shoes. Using ordinary materials he found in the jungle around him, he worked day by day, knowing that the Lord was with him.With the help of the Lord, the Ant completed the very special shoes that would allow him to journey through the big fascinating jungle.But a rumor soon spread across the entire jungle that an Ant was about to conquer the jungle with surety. All of the giants of the jungle, especially those giants among giants?the elephants?heard this rumor about the bodacious little Ant.One day the Ant tried on the shoes for the first time and found that they really worked! The first thing he did was to cross the stream next to where he lived.While this stream seemed very small to the large animals, like the elephants, to the tiny Ant it seemed very big. In fact, as the Ant crossed the stream, he felt like a giant as one of the elephants, who without any fear, crushed through the waters of the stream everyday. The Ant enjoyed his journey across the stream, and when he found he could cross it as easily as the elephants did, he returned home and hid his shoes where no one else could find them.Feeling bigger, the Ant grew bold and begins peeking at the large elephants. Then one day, while busy peeking at the elephants, the Ant fell in love with the beautiful big eyes of one elephant in particular who felt for the tiny Ant and guided him. The Ant with his big ideas thought that by winning the big heart of his very big love, his new jungle shoes and his new love could together help him conquer the entire jungle.But the very next day the Ant woke up and discovered his shoes were gone. With a heavy heart, the Ant started looking everywhere for his missing shoes.But the Ant still peeked at the elephants as he searched for his shoes and, much to his surprise; he discovered that one of the elephants had stolen his shoes. The giant elephant kept the shoes under his big feet so he could cross a stream so big that even elephants could not cross it.Now the mighty elephant became as confident wearing the shoes as the Ant had been. The elephants would not listen to the little Ant?s request to return the shoes and the Ant asked them several times to return the shoes. So the Ant took the matter to the lions. But the lions could not help because they had to guard their kingdom and helping the Ant would result for them to loose their royal position in the jungle. The Ant then desperately asked his fellow ants for help. But the other ants would not help, because they did not have much faith in themselves or in the Lord and they thought they were too smart to mess with the giants of the jungle and that no ant could ever conquer the jungle.After receiving no help from anyone, the Ant decided that he had four choices to get his stolen shoes back and that the elephants also had two choices regarding the shoes.The Ant listed his choices as follows.Choice number one: He could challenge the mighty elephant for a fight, he said to himself proudly, ?Who says an ant cannot fight with an elephant.?Choice number two: He could forget about the shoes and become friends with the elephant. ?The shoes would not work for the elephant anyway, so he will lose interest in them.?Choice number three: He could win over his very big love and together they could conquer the jungle. ?Love is power,?? he said.Choice number four: He could have an eagle ask the sky to decide who should have the shoes: the elephants or the ant. ?Leave it to the Lord,? he said.The Ant also understood that the elephant had options too. He understood that the elephant could either crush him under its big foot or make friends with him and agree to share or return the shoes.The Ant chose option number four and had an eagle ask the sky to resolve the matter of dispute between them.According to the eagle, the sky said, ?To conquer is to join the devil and that is the devil sense. To love is to join God if your love is clean and that is the God?s sense.And to be a good friend, it is to enjoy the sense of good humor.?The mighty elephant has yet to exercise his option, while the Ant has yet to get his shoes back...The last time I saw the Ant, it was at Starmugs Hacienda. He was chasing sugar and seeking refuge. Ant has a case? Copyright material. Please do not copy, edit, alter parts or in whole. Thank you. 

Your Opinions on this Lost Love
By: Scarecrow | 06-07-2008
ok, to start off, my girlfriend and I have been dating for about 6 [and 1/2] months and we finally broke up. I fell in love with her the first time i saw her [literally]. But the problem was she didnt love me back. Hence, i spent countless hours and won her heart. She loved me [as far as i can tell]. the first five months were splended. But in that five months, i realized that she was quite immature [she was actually rather younger than me...]. But i loved her way to much to let her imatureity affect our relationship. And it wasnt like she was retarded either... But after the 6th month, she stopped spending time with me. She would hang around with her friends all the time. I mean, she I'm cool if she hangs around with her friends some of the time... but she completely stopped speding time with me. But she talked to me normally and hugged me and all of the other bf and gf shit. i started hinting her that i needed a little more attention. I'm pretty sure she figured it out. But never the less, she kept on ignoring me. In the early months of our relationship, she used to be attached to me quite tight. But now, all of a sudden, i became invisible to her.  I kinda got that hint that she wasnt interested in me anymore. And i thought the best thing i can do to make her happy was to let her go. And i did. I broke up with her the nicest way i could. I told her that we should go our seperate ways. I also told her that she's a beautiful girl and she would have no trouble finding another indavidual who would love her to death.  I start moving on and flirt with other girls. But then again she calls me, crying on the phone, saying she wants to get back with me. Normally i would say "no"  but i really really love her and cant live when there's tears in her eyes.   But nothing changed. Even though we were boyfriend and girlfriends, she still kept on ignoring me. she would spend a shitload of time with her friends and 0seconds with me. I thought this time, i'd just try to talk to her about it. She nodded. And at the end of the week in which her and i got back together, she said she wants to break up with me.  I hugged her and said goodbye. I'm pretty sure she got back with me the second time only to break my heart. But i didnt bring it up to her. I just wanted her to be happy. If she becomes happy from my broken heart, then so be it. But now, she wants to be "friends". Thats rather hard for me to accpet. I stopped talking to her. And one day she even asks me "do you like hate me or something..?". I said "no". I dont hate her. But i dont think if she loved me in the first place, she'd break my heart and play with me.  Do you all think i made the right decisions? Is there something else i shoudl've done to make the relationship last longer? Is all of this shit my fault?  P.S. - I tried my best to treat her really well. I bought her flowers [the reddest of all red roses....]. I Wrote sweet love notes and dropped them in her locker.  I bought her stuffed animals. I gave her all sorts of things to let her know how much she means to me.
