How To Dodge Failure In Your Home Business-2 Fundamentals
If you want to set up a home business you are a smart cookie
. But you will fail as sure as day follows night if you dont avoid these 2 fundamental mistakes.The great thing about a home business which you run from your computer is that it is just so easy to set up. But it is this ease of access, this low barrier to entry, that leads so many to failure like lambs to a slaughter.
Fundamental 1
Acquire the necessary skills.
So many people think that because they have spent some time surfing the internet and can build a basic Wordpress blog that they are equipped to take on the big boys in affiliate marketing.
Dont make this mistake. The skills to be a true internet marketer can be easily acquired. But this will take time to do properly so dont rush it, take your time and make absolutely certain that these basic skills are clearly understood and that you study the experts in the various disciplines and watch closely how they operate.
For example, the skills and mindset that you will need if you decide to create multiple micro niche blogs which will depend on Adsense for your income will be very different from the skills you will need if you intend doing affiliate marketing.
And the skills in affiliate marketing will in turn be differentiated if you intend making your sales directly from your site as opposed to just gathering a mailing list and then following up with affiliate offers.
Fundamental 2
Choose your poison carefully.
By this I mean decide at some point before you commit fully precisely what your business model is going to be. Will it be affiliate sales, will it be a membership site, will it be adsense related, will it be cost per action?
You need to decide at some point which area you will operate in and you will need to make this decision based on a number of factors such as your personality and budget.
If you have a budget you may consider Adwords to drive traffic to your site and if you are short of funds you will have to rely on article marketing..which is very effective.
If you decide to use Google Adwords extensively and cant be bothered with all that article marketing stuff, then you had better do some extensive research on Adwords and how it works. Because if you dont your big budget will become a small one very quickly as you can burn cash at an alarming rate if you do not know what you are doing.
