I’ll admit it - I’m an addict. And I know many of you reading this are, too. Look at you sitting there, your index finger twitching on your mouse just waiting to click out to Twitter or Facebook. Why you oughta be ashamed of yourself!

Or should you?

I know for many marketers, social networking addiction can actually become a bad thing. Someone sidles up next to you and says, “Come on, have a little hit of Facebook - everybody’s doing it!” Off you go to get your own account and next thing you now your ignoring your kids and spouse, neglecting your business so you can post an update, and wasting hours looking at pictures of you that have been tagged from 1989.

That’s the downside.

The good side of this highly addictive virtual drug is that it can help you make a LOT of money and position yourself as the creme de la creme of all things in your niche. The key is knowing your limits, putting restraints on yourself so you aren’t crashing and burning every day with your web 2.0 addiction.
