Here are 10 deadly ways you can fail online as an entrepreneur. There are several ways in which you can fail successfully online but I would be glad to show you just ten ways you can do this as a start up web entrepreneur. Its your decision to avoid them or to do them. FAILURE SECRET ONE 1. Be Fearful : Try to be afraid of putting in money in any thing that has to do with the Internet. Be so afraid of loosing every thing that will kill a good product just because of your own fear. Always go around asking your friends, relatives and associates for money to fund your Internet business instead of reaching your own pocket. FAILURE SECRET TWO 2. Try to be distracted Always look for ways to keep your mind busy with another job. Don't let your ideas be put to use. Try to listen to your spouse or friends on how your online business will never work. Look at Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com. He was absolutely fanatical about his company in the first few years and you know he never had a life after that. FAILURE SECRET THREE 3. Wish Wish Wish! You know the saying " if wishes were horses men would ride on them easily ?. Don't look at the world the way you want it to be, not the way it is. Don't listen to anybody. Just be there and feel it is better that way doing business, never bother about the person next door. Don't even read your emails and don't compare your websites with others. FAILURE SECRET FOUR 4. Be short sighted Don't be objective, don't look at the future. Think of only the present and concentrate on it. After all everyone knows that all great Innovators and business ideas got rich from the world GO, right? FAILURE SECRET FIVE 5. Don't build your own web site You don't really need a web site to succeed online. After all, there is so much stress building on e and maintaining it as well. FAILURE SECRET SIX Don't pick any product to promote There especially at click bank.com namely ebooks, software and so on, but don't pick any of them. It may not be profitable for you to pick such products. FAILURE SECRET SEVEN Don't build your own opt in list Now what? Why should I have my own opt in list? After all, who's got the time? And who would bother leaving his name behind. I wonder how you would establish a newsletter. And won't pay your autoresponder service about $20 monthly for their service. P.S. Remember having a good contact with your list is the key to your online business. FAILURE SECRET EIGHT. Don't use google adwords and other PPCs I understand, you don't want to spend money on PPCs right? Imagine spending all your money on clicks simply because you want to advertise your product, you're asking are there not too many marketers using such tools and we all know PPCs engage in click fraud so PPCs campaigns don't look like a good investment to me. FAILURE SECRET NINE Try to be Abstract. Don't make samples, don't give out stuffs free, don't even create brochures or business cards after all who wants to see a web address on my card and they are too expensive to print. Don't even bother to write a business plan, or a powerful sales letter, even captivating head lines. What about packaging your ebook and selling them online? FAILURE SECRET TEN Give up when you lose your First Investment Who wants to lose money at a first try I mean it won't make any sense loosing money after your first campaign on the net. I think the solution, would be to pack up. After all the whole thing about the Internet is untrue. Well. Those are my 10 sure fire tips as to failing online. Follow them if you want to fail but avoid them if you MUST succeed. By Eze, Uzoma screamuzor@yahoo.com |
