You keep refreshing a post to see if anyone has responded yet, and when someone responds, it makes you feel better...

Next?

You see something major in the news and start thinking of ways to monetize the crap out of it!

You have Gmail open in a window 24/7

You keep checking your adsense stats every couple of hours (I'm officially addicted to it)

Your mom asks you to read over her appeal letter to the insurance company and the first thing you tell her is that her "call to action" is too weak.

When your fiance keeps asking you what you doing and you end up outsourcing your content writing to her...

LOL You guys are too funny.

Michael,
Had to comment on your sig file...very interesting call to action LMAO

When you open your laptop in the morning and your children ask if you made any sales in your sleep. LOL

When your children are asked what you do for a living and they respond, play on the computer all day.

When the kids ALWAYS volunteer you for feild trips and class activities with school, because mommy doesn't work LOL.

Or when your kids ask if your computer put more money in the bank yet because theres a new toy on TV they want.

That's not addicted. That's just sick.

I think you need to check yourself into a clinic run by nothing but cute nurses. THe doctors there give you electro-therapy everytime you take your eyes of their assets to check your online assets.

Until that time, I'm officially removing your Date Pro title.

When every idea you have 'could be money in the making'! somehow you just don't think normal anymore lol great post!

When you come up with Marketing idea and you can't wait to take action regardless of where you are of what time it is

When I took a bad fall with my laptop in my hands, and all I could think about was keeping my laptop in the air, so I didn't use my hands to catch my fall. End result = black and blue all over, but laptop is working great =)

....when on holiday/vacation the hotel choice is based on wifi connection

...when you have learned how to sleep in your recliner in the spare room with the laptop on your lap all night so even if you wake up for a moment you will be able to complete a few tasks.

(For those who would like to copy me, it's easy. To keep the laptop from falling all you have to do is roll up a towel and place it behind the laptop to keep it from sliding off while you're sleeping)

----------

...when your legs fell funny when you're driving because the weight of the laptop isn't there.

----------

...when you honestly aren't sure what day it is more often than not.

----------

...when the best recent coversation you've had with your spouse is chatting over Facebook.

----------

...when you don't do well playing along with The Price Is Right because their prices don't always end with a 7.

----------

...when you know you could easily come up with tons of other examples to show you're addicted to IM, but realize that you really should get some work done.

~M~

You drive by an account firm and read "John Doe CPA" as "John Doe Cost Per Action"

When the last thing you do before you go to sleep is check your iphone for subscribers and sales. And the first thing in the morning, ditto.

...when the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night is check your email for sales.
...when your upcoming choice of where to buy real estate depends on if a high-speed net connection is available.
...when you're in the hospital ER and wish you'd brought your netbook with you so at least you could get something done while waiting for those damn test results.

And then some day,the Internet disappears or the network dies away or ...,can you imagine how we will live?

You know you're addicted to IM when you report someone for spam... but not before swiping at least three lines of their copy.


Additional symptoms include... your refresh button is faded.

When your wife puts a WIG on your computer

When you have an argument with your wife VIA email....

When you dream about your paypal account getting jammed by all the purchases from your newest wso! =)

You use your mass article submitter to send out SEO'd, keyword rich resumes and than social bookmark and build backlinks to them.

havent slept for 26 hours and are watching your paypal acount rise dramatically!

You are working out at 2a in bed how to lower your CPC based on anticipated conversion rates.

When you no longer look at websites and TV and other forms of media as just its physical form, but also try to think out their process and how it could be working!

...when you purposely send an insanely great-priced offer to your list right before bed because you love the high of waking up to an inbox full of sales! WOOT WOOT!

When you consider your laptop your "other bible"

When you're sitting at your computer, reading every post on a person's thread entitled "You Know UR Addicted To Internet Marketing When.....", that's a pretty good indication, or maybe it just proves I spend waaaay too much time here.

Oh boy and I know what you mean about the laptop thing, it gets to the point where it's extension of you, almost another appendage and if I haven't checked my email in a day, I get withdrawals.

When you wish you were like that little mutant kid from X-Men that doesn't ever sleep!

When you sleep with your laptop. Mine is at the foot of my bed.
When you have over 191 warrior forum thread subscriptions.

When you have more then one post up on this thread!

-Cindy

Geez I thought the 14 tabs I have was bad enough but with your 40, you win.

How do you get anything done?

You must be one heck of a multi tasker.

Oohhhhhh, and you know you're addicted when Firefox unexpectedly shuts down or your
computer crashes and you nearly cry when you can't retrieve those tabs and you've got to rack those brains to remember what they were.
