Top Ten Ways To Sabotage Yourself Online
In essence - if you believe the hype about making money effortlessly on the internet
, and you are just a disaster waiting to happen.
1. Don't research your product - sell something based on a gut feeling. Sell something people should need - they just don't know it yet. This is the first and easiest way to fail. The essence of making money is to find something people want and then sell it to them for more than it costs you. You can't succeed if people don't already want your product unless you have a very, very large marketing budget.
2. Research and research and research, but never actually get ready to sell anything. Yes, they do say that failing to prepare is preparing to fail but over-preparing is just as bad. You can't make money if you never actually try to sell something.
3. Decide to sell something you cant find a supplier for. It's great to find a fabulous product - but pretty useless if you can't find a wholesaler.
4. Sign up with a wholesaler or drop shipper who isn't what they say they are. There are a lot of these about. Typically they charge a monthly fee for 'membership'. In fact they are just sitting between you and the real supplier taking your money and adding no value.
5. Specialize in electronics - PDA's, cell-phones, laptops etc. In order to compete in this area you need to be able to buy in bulk - it is almost impossible to make money in this sector.
6. Go to an expensive course during which they explain how much you don't know about working online.
If you are new to online selling it is reasonable to think you would need tuition, but many courses are designed purely to sell more courses, or to convince you that most tasks are just too technical or difficult to do yourself - so you will hire the company to do it for you for a fee.
Most of these offer a money back guarantee which they don't expect you to take up. If you go on a course which is mostly sales pitch for other courses or services, don't hesitate to ask for a refund.
7. At the end of the above course buy another course from the same people.
8. Buy a turnkey website ready filled with products, then just sit back and wait for the money to roll in. Do you really think it's that easy? One way to make money on the internet is by selling those websites - not by operating them.
9. Spend thousands having a web site built - and then spend nothing on promoting it. Sadly, web sites, however beautiful, don't simply attract visitors. You have to work at getting people to come to the site - then you have to work at convincing them to buy.
10. Spend thousands on promoting your website with scam artists who promise to get you on the front page of Google for some keyword no one is searching for. A front page listing on Google may be essential to your business, but only for a keyword which is associated with demand.
How many businesses are there with the same name as yours? In the same town as you? With no competition the front page is not too difficult to get.
There's a great deal of money to be earned online and a great deal of money to be lost. If you can avoid all of the above you'll be well on your way to internet success.
