18 Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Entire Internet Based Business

I want to briefly talk about a few reasons why people fail to get it right when starting an internet based business.

1. I can start an internet based business free. You cannot setup a business online for free. Some people may disagree with this but it’s the truth. Whichever way you look at it, you will need to invest or re-invest some money, no matter how small.

2. Build it consistently and the income will flow. You cannot just build a website and anticipate to start generating profits.

3. Beautify and “Trick it out”, well not for websites. This might work well for a brick and mortar business but on the internet you have to keep it to reasonable level.

4. Lacking a Unique Selling Point. You need to create a real presence on the web and your business has to have a unique selling point.

5. “I don’t have to work hard to be successful.” Sometimes you need to work harder.

6. Earn income online even while you sleep. Of course, you can but your business online needs great attention.

7. “I already know precisely what to do, I don’t require a game plan to succeed, plans are simply for beginners.” You might as well count yourself out now and turn in the keys and go back home.

8. Not arriving at any point. Individuals have lots of other distractions nowadays, you don’t have time to go into theory or whatever, just head right for the point.

9. Writing for the offline audience is similar to writing for people online. Wrong response, thank you so much for playing the game.

10. Failing to remember you are dealing with real people. It is so easy to get carried away online and the impersonal nature of the media can help you lose business as fast as you can gain it.

11. Stopping at the first sale with a client. Big blunder, this is only your first contact with a prospective client who said “I trust you”, what’s your next plan of action? Remember first impression last long.

12. Give them more reasons to come back again and again. It doesn’t stop at the initial visit, what are you going to do to ensure they keep coming back?

13. Having a poor follow up system. Are you following up with a prospect who gave their email address and name to you by sending a nonstop offer?

14. “I receive over 3 million hits and yet no sales” Traffic isn’t the key but quality targeted traffic is.

15. Don’t make them assume. Getting your visitors the information they are searching for as quickly and easily as possible should be your primary goal.

16. Lack of focus on your internet based business. There is more ways to earn income online than you could write a book on but you need to select one and center on it until it start developing profits.

17. Failing to re-invest in your internet business. You always need to put back a certain percentage of your proceeds back into your internet business.

18. Failing to accurately track and monitor your internet business. It is so easy to do this on the web, yet many folks don’t even try.

Here you have it, the 18 critical mistakes you can make that will ruin your internet based business
