    Yes, all online business are good provided it's legal... but why many people fail?/

    Because they are more concentrated on what to sell or what to offer..they less concentrated on how to promote..and whatever business you have, you will not get success if you don't know how to promote..

    To start a business, you need to be good in promotion first if you don't have money to fund for seo..

    That's the most great news i have learned from dp.I think the main point is whether you have the determination or not.

    Have you read Rich Dad, Poor Dad?
    Robert is a best-SELLING Author
    not a best-WRITING Author

    This proves that saleability is most important.

    So true!

    Of the 100 people starting online business (average people)... around 29% become successful because of this problem...

    The competition is not on the content of your site..it is on the promotion...

    I think the problem with most people is that they are not hardworking or persistent enough. Sometimes, at the time they give up, it might be the time they are about to meet success. It's sad but it is always happening.

    What it is..

    People want fast easy answers. Those people buying websites that are automated and raking the "dough" its so much more than that..

    There truly is o easy path and once peeps realize this then there will be the light at the end of the money tunnel.

    The reason I think many people are not successful is because most people want to get rich quick. They arn't interested in making say $5 a day and working on it to double, then triple, and so on. They want to make $200 a day or nothing is worth it.

    I feel sorry for these people.

    I think its about 60% determination/effort , 30% promotion (depending on what you are doing), 10% luck.

    Although, if you have a brand new unique idea, that entertains/delivers to people, then the stats change. It really depends. This is why clone sites 99% fail. Get your own idea. Think of it this way, you make a general social networking site similar to myspace, then you will fail because why would people come to your site, when they can go to myspace , which is already bigger and more popular then your site. On the other hand, if you create a social networking site for, let's say, older people, 65+, then you might not fail, because it hasn't been done. For those people stealing ideas and thinking get rich schemes work, then you can spend waste all the money you want, but in the end, it won't work.

    P.S. : I just came up with the idea for a 65+ older social networking site as an example, do not know if it will work, already exists, already been made or w/e. Research it, it might just be a goldmine.

    The problem...
    people expect to earn money quick and easy way,
    as soon as they start the website they want to earn $100 per day..from the day one.
    I have worked with many clients..as soon as they start the website, from the day one..they want to earn money...
    they wait for sometime..without taking any steps...and finally they give up.
    there so many reasons...
    they think, their website is unique in the world...and all the people will come to their site
    lack of knowledge
    lack of hard work
    lack of persistent
    lack of SEO/online marketing

    I would say the top reason is people quiting. They want to be earning 5 figures a month and if they cant do that right off the bat they dont want to continue.

    Yeah.
    It is possible to start a business with no money, though, but it takes forever and people who do tend to give up :p
    The best online businesspeople have risen from nothing, and gained the respect that comes with it. I'm trying, and have been for about 6 months, and I refuse to give up, so I shall suceed (that's my mentality), but i've known a lot of people come and go, quitting when the going gets tough, or if they aren't earning in their first few days.
    I think the quote that inspired me most was
    "Anything that's worth doing takes time, and effort"

    I think most people fail because of the lack of money put in the websites by their visitors, most people feel when they pay to Internet provider for montly Internet service, everything beyond that should be free, newspapers, forums, email... Without sufficient financial income, most online businesses are to fail.

    People fail because they dont put enough time and energy (and even funds). And when one thing goes wrong they move on to the next thing. I'm sure people that earn a sh*t load had a million things go wrong with their business , but they stuck with it

    I agree people give up too easily - 'everyone' knows you can make money online - set up a web site and slap some adsense ads on there and you'll be a millionaire tomorrow. *Sigh* - with that kind of perception still commonplace, it's not hard to understand why so many people fail. If people thought that running an online business was just as hard as running a regular offline business, they would take it more seriously, invest more time planning, and more time working, and be more likely to succeed.

    This is so true. I can't remember how many time a so called "guru" make a killing with their product but when i check it out it was just normal information where you can find anywhere on the internet for free. What's important is the way you present the product , the marketing and how impressive your sales pitch is.
