11 Mistakes to Avoid in Marketing Business

#1 - Not Treating What You Do as a Business.
The difference between a hobby and a business is that a hobby doesn't make you money - it costs you money.
If you're earnest about starting a profitable online business, approach seriously and focus on generating revenue.

#2 - Being Distracted by Too Many Good Ideas.
Too many Internet-Entrepreneur-Wanna-Be's lack the will power to stay focused. Chasing too many ideas at the same time often leaves them exhausted, frustrated, and with little result to show for their hard work.

#3 - Not Selecting a Specific Niche.
It's very counter-intuitive to focus on a smaller slice of the market and most people are afraid to do it. But when you do, your business will grow faster, and you'll be more financially successful in less time.

#4 - Falling in Love With the Wrong Product Idea.
Countless people buy into the idea of making millions online overnight. Sadly, they buy into programs hyped up with empty promises only to find themselves "out of cash and out of luck" a short while later

#6 - Going Into It, Instead of Growing Into It.
While the Internet makes it easier to reach your potential clients, you're still building a business - and that takes time. Don't tell your boss you're quitting today because you started this hot new online business last night and you'll be "rolling in dough in no time flat!"

#7 - Being a Copy-Cat!
Don't fall for the allure of easy money - because it's only a perception. In reality your chances of having a successful online business are much greater when you are different from the pack.

#8 - Wasting Time and Money on Developing Pretty but Useless Websites.
In reality, many businesses can be simple and inexpensive to get off the ground. In fact, a simple site with little or no graphics will often make more money than one with all the latest bells and whistles flashing all over the page.

#9 - Not Building Relationship with Clients.
Most people think about starting a business onlíne in terms of getting a quick sale - with no prior relationship with their potential clients at all.
Make it your goal to prove your credibility online and make your business all about relationships with prospects and clients, and you'll build a thriving online empire.

#10 - Calling It "QUITS" Too Soon!
If your new online venture isn't making money at first, don't walk away from it too soon. Many entrepreneurs have multiple "failures" in their background - which in reality are lessons in what didn't work.

#11 - Being too cheap!
While it's a good habit to be thrifty with your dollars, don't confuse saving money with being cheap. Remember the price you're paying for things isn't always expressed in money. It's also the time, effort, and lost opportunities you can't take advantage of because you lack the know-how or are busy doing low-level tasks.
