Have you ever felt that you’re a slave to technology? I mean whether you have the feeling to be enslaved by different channels of online marketing. If you think you must join another group, site, etc, just because everybody says it’s hot these days and says that it helps, stop and think again about my question.

How Online Marketing Enslavement Begins

You may have started attracting business to your site through article submission. Now, I want you to think of any method you’ve originally started with instead of the underlined phrase above.

Do you remember when you decided to add another channels to it? Was it to complete your previous campaigns? Do you think you’d used the entire potential of article submission for your web business? Was the other channel a proven method to complete your initial method? Are you sure? Have you got the results you’ve always wanted after you added another online marketing channel to your first strategy?

Have you had such an experience? Could you find out which one was the best channel for you? Did it work for you?

Choose the Best Method for Your Business

I’ve seen that some businesses thrive without going to heaven and earth. They usually find one method and make the most of it. Imagine you start a site for your business and include a blog in it. You set it up via organic SEO methods to drive the targeted traffic you’ve planned to. All the content creation at your blog is concentrated on the keyword basket you have worked out at the beginning. Search engine optimization brings the desired traffic to your site.

As your blog is set to ping your selected social media sites, you don’t spend time on joining another social media site. Every new post you publish is republished at your selected social sites automatically. You get the business you want and don’t bother to jump in every new site or method emerging out of nowhere. Instead, you lead your business and enjoy life. Should you have a profile in the new site called XYZ and promote it? here’s my answer:

If you get what you want on the web through the online marketing channels already working for you, forget about every other thing coming your way and be a master of your business on the Internet.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to support one way or reject another. These are some examples to help you stop, cherish your free time and enjoy life. What’s the whole point of working? Isn’t it a better life? Do you want to spend it on another new media or site? If yes, go ahead and join this and that site and lose focus of your online business. This way you can sacrifice both your time and your online business.

Don’t Worry! Nothing Happens!

Don’t you have a blackberry yet? Don’t you have a profile on facebook? Aren’t you active on Google Buzz? Don’t you …? There’s nothing to worry if your online business is in good shape. If you have some staff to assign them to do these things and you’re sure these online marketing channels enhance your work, relieve you and boost your business, go for it. If not, just forget about it. Nothing terrible happens!

Stop Being a slave to various online marketing channels. Technology is there to make your life easier, not harder!
