First of all, I should probably start with a disclaimer that Internet Marketing ADD (I may refer to this as IMADD for short sometimes) is not a real medical disorder, but it is a term that I thought up a couple of days ago to describe what many people go through when they start affiliate marketing. IMADD often occurs after you have been working on a project for a while with no results, instead of trying to figure out why you are not getting results, you decide that there has to be an easier way to get to your goal and you start searching for a pie in the sky again.

The other night I found myself having an occurance of IMADD when I found myself researching a PPC technique that I had learned about on Wealthy Affiliate. When I really started working at WA I had decided that I cannot afford PPC at this point in time so I was going to work on some article and bum marketing to get some cash flow going. This weekend I found myself in a little dip because some of the Squidoo lenses that I had built were not indexed yet and I found myself looking for a way to make money faster. I spent a lot of valuable time that I could have used writing articles or building lenses and in the end I only landed up with two small PPC campaigns out of 5 hours of time.

I’m still a little slow at article writing, but I could have written at least 3 original articles during this period of time and had a good start on a new lens expanding on my current series. At the end of the day when I was wondering where my time went I realized that I had suffered from another bout of IMADD and vowed that I would be getting back on track this week.

The only real cure for IMADD is success, but realizing the symptoms when they start will save you a lot of money in the long run. I was lucky this time because the report I was reading was already part of my Wealthy Affiliate membership fee so I didn’t spend anything extra learning about this particular PPC method.

My next post will be a list of all of the symptoms that pop up when I see internet marketing ADD start, but I’d like to hear about your struggles and successes with overcoming IMADD.
