What do you guys do to keep yourself motivated working on the internet?

28 replies
Working on internet marketing can be stressful and it's easy to lose motivation when there are so many distractions right in front of us (absorbing web pages, videos, sounds, songs and more).

What do you do to keep yourself motivated to keep working?

As for me, I like to hang out with my brother, play video games, take walks outside and talk to my friends online.

What about you?

      Hi lagrimas175,

      Just need to concentrate on the tasks that you need to do each day and keep it to 4 hours the maximum daily, so as to spend more quality time with either your friends or your family. In this way, you will feel more confident and more motivated to build your online business.

      Hope it helps.

              The thing I'm wondering the most, is why this guy posts on this account the first time today, when his account was created in jun 2006? Is someone selling aged WF accounts?

            Working from home is a distraction all of its own. The best way to get ride of this distraction is don't work from home. Rent an office space. I'm home enjoying my free time chatting on the forums. Today's work has been done.

              That's a very good idea, I sometimes take trips to Japan and live alone in my apartment to get away from my family and old friends from america, it helps to clear my head and keep me on track.

      I'm so happy you find motivation in my quest for motivation! You should teach me, so that we can both feed off each other's quest for motivation at the same time!

      Sorry...made me laugh...but I guess I have a dirty mind!

      You are right though. Do you set goals like "I'm going to increase my business by 50% or traffic by 100% this month"...I set goals and challenge myself.

      A month? Really? What do you do with yourself with all that extra time?

    Hello
    I find it hard to keep my motivated while working on the internet. But what I do to keep myself from feeling down if I don't make any sale. I would relax and take a break for a day. I am a type of person that would get really tired of something after a while putting so much work into it. I wants to keep everything balance so I don't stress out eventhough I am so wants to finish it.

    My little ones make sure I take little breaks here and there, unless I am up past their bedtimes. They are also my source of motivation!

      I like that...they really are the most important thing and it is the same for me....they motivate me to work and make me stop and "smell the roses" from time to time...quite a blessing

    What keeps me going?

    The thought of enough semi-passive income to allow me to travel cheaply for as long as I want. The thought of going to Buenos Aires, eating delicious steak for a couple of dollars. Learning Salsa from the local talent. The thought of trekking in remote parts of Patagonia only to come back to wifi somewhere and check in with my VA's before continuing my explorations.

    Naive? Let's chock it up to optimism.

      I must agree with this, seeing the results of hard work in terms of a nice pay check is very motivating, setting goals can also help - but be careful and set goals that are attainable and not ridiculously high
