Are You an Internet Business Information Addict?

Are You an Internet Business Information Addict?

Internet Marketers like to complain how hard it is to sell online these days because there’s so much competition for people’s attention. I think there’s some truth to that claim. But many marketers seem to be making a fortune exploiting that state where people are already distracted.

Scientists discovered that when people are exposed to a flood of information, reacting to this “information bursts” causes the brain to become excited and release the hormone dopamine, which in turn causes feelings of happiness. This behavior becomes addictive eventually.

Beginners in internet marketing are overwhelmed with information. Almost every week there’s a newest “secret” to making money launched online. It’s so difficult for many beginners to resist looking into these information products if many recognized gurus are promoting them. Each new product, thanks to irresistible copywriting, makes it appear that it’s the product that will finally make a beginner rich, the easy way.

Internet Business Information Addiction

When people are caught in this distraction-dopamine cycle, they tend to reinforce those “positive” feelings by looking for new information. And the more they look for new information, the easier it will be for marketers to sell them “secrets” they think they don’t yet possess.

Ryan Healy recently wrote an inspirational article for Michael Fortin called at Why People are addicted to Info-Products . It’s a very good article that explains “Why People Pay Good Money for Information…Information They Don’t Need and Will Never Use!” plus he gives some tips for breaking information addiction.

Tips For Breaking Information Addiction

So how can a beginner extricate himself from the trap of information overload?

If you’re already suffering from information overload, another ebook will not solve your problem. In fact, it will further aggravate your situation.

Here’s a few tips for breaking internet business information addiction:

• Unsubscribe to any Internet Marketer that constantly sends out big hype affiliate sales promos
• Know why you’re addicted. For example , I find myself more vunerable to spending my money on products on the weekends or when I’m bored. Does buying “stuff” give you a rush or a sense of wealth?
• Change Your habits. You may have fallen into a cycle, it’s a waste of time, acknowledge your habits and make an effort to change them.
• Find one product and stick with it, you’ll never make any money if you skip around from one product launch to the other.
• Get a Mentor-What you need is somebody who has “been there, done that” to guide you in a way no ebook can, I found the right internet marketing mentor and reduced spending on unnecessary products by over 75%.
• Hold yourself accountable. A mentor can help you a little but ultimately it’s your decision to not fall into the same traps over and over again.
  
• Know your weaknesses and avoid them. Stop searching for ways to make money and apply all of the previous points discussed.
