The weather in the northeast so far this year has been horrendous. Rainy day after rainy day seems to be the weather of the day rather than sunshine as has been typical over the past years....before global warming began. But...that is not the reason for this article.

Instead, I realized today that rain is the best friend of the internet marketer for several reasons. Many of these reasons relate to my six year old son but let me explain...

As an internet marketer myself I walk around with a little blue pad with a list of daily, weekly and monthly tasks written down in order for me to be sure to complete certain tasks on time. Now I know I should be using some kind of PDA instead, but the blue pad is just annoying enough, sticking out in my pocket, to make sure that I don't forget it's there. PDAs etc are just too easy to ignore.

So, what are the reasons rain is the best friend of an internet marketer?

Reason #1: The Sun Isn't Shining - Normally, I sit at my desk attempting to complete all of the tasks on my little blue pad all the while my six year old son tries to get me to go outside and play. When the sun is shining and temperature is 80 degrees it's kind of tough not to say yes to swimming in the pool or kicking a soccer ball in the backyard. Rain sort of puts a stop to all of this frivolity.

Reason #2: Watching The Media - Rainy days are days for the movies...or so I was told when I was a kid. Well, now I'm an adult and instead of going to the movies on rainy days, I sit back, get a cup of coffee and watch instructional videos on my computer. Not quite as much fun but there are some really terrific videos and what better time to watch them then on a really miserable stormy day.

Reason #3 - No Distractions - As most of you, there are always distractions when you work out of your home. Postman, FedEx, gardeners, pool guy etc. all have a real need, for some reason, to ring my doorbell to tell me something I really have no reason to hear. On rainy day, no such thing. They all stay home!

Reason #4 - Creativity - Somehow, when all of these distractions; six year old son, no postman, no gardener, no delivery guy etc to bother me just when I need to really dig down deep and be creative.

Now, I fully realize that there may be many other businesses that may also do better in the rain while others may not do as well. However, anyone that works at home and needs to be fully focused can easily relate to this rainy day phenomenon.

On my little blue pad are numerous tasks that seem to just get done a bit better when the sun is hiding behind those dark black clouds.

A perfect case in point occurred today (which may vary depending upon when you reading this article) when I was finished with my blue list tasks (a topic for another article) and I still had some time to spend since in no way was I going out to play in the rain. So....I decided to develop a quick web page, create a free ebook for my loyal subscribers, add a post to my autoresponder and send out an email offering this free ebook to my entire list of subscribers.

Conclusion - This may not sound like much but if the sun was shining no such free gift would have been created and my loyal subscribers would have lost the positive information contained within that report. Plus, rainy days are just perfect for reading free reports.....
