    According to my experience, biggest time wasting activities in internet marketing are Blog Commenting and Forums Postings.
    I want to get rid from both things, but unable to do so.

    I used to do this when starting out. I live on Cape Cod ( massachusetts ) and love to go fishing for Striped Bass, catching a fish is always a big rush. Doing Affiliate Marketing and making sales feels exactly the same, just without the salt water. I try and limit my time checking sales so I can spend more time fishing.

    I felt this "addiction" a few years ago, but I don't have an addictive personality. It soon died off and even the addiction to checking stats with Google Adsense and Analytics. When you don't make enough money online to make a living from, this is not even worth it lol.

    To add- I used to visit Facehook also.. I deleted my account there :cool:

    The biggest time waster for me is losing focus, getting seduced by a new thread advertising a new miracle way of making money - before I know where I am the credit card is out, the Paypal button is pressed, and suddenly there go three days while I work out why THIS method just doesn't work just like the last twenty...

    Find your path, and stick to it!

    Yes One of many ways to waste time. And I keep finding new ways to waste more. And a bog time waster also is also checking your email a gazillion times a day.

    In my opinion the best time killer thing in internet marketing is the social networks it never stops it goes on.... Even it makes to become an addict. Checking the stats with Google adsense and analytics are not time killer thing, probably proper analyzing and further work on those things turns back you as money.

    I think that checking emails more than once a day is the biggest waste of time. Of course, that doesn't include customer service emails.

    Hey guys this is really amazing thread...most of the thing you've mentioned here are so true like
    1.checking facebook updates,
    2.checking mails more than once a day,
    3.browsing all day long.
    also one of my biggest time waster is devaintart but I can't control myself I just love this site. One of the biggest adverse affect of this is your physique gets badly affected.

    Facebook is definitely the biggest time killer for me.. I log on 100 times a day without a reason, simply log in, close the browser, log in, close the browser. But I am not too worried about it, it will go away on its own.

    It is an addiction! However, we make all things into an addiction ... at least its a healthy one! I dont think there is anything worng with checking your stats after all its my livelihood and I want to know! Even though im constantly checking I still make time for other things so until I dont I think ill be alright!

    Another huge time waster is twitter, facebook also youtube.
    You can watch one video then another then another.
    When you check the time 3 hours have gone bye bye.

    Thank for sharing your thoughts. I am always excited to see those sales come in from my efforts. There's no other feeling like getting paid. So "refresh" here I come.
