5 Common Mistakes Every Online Business Owner Should <br />
Avoid - by Peter Dobler <br />
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<br />
<br />
Starting an online business is probably one of the <br />
simplest things to do. You make the decision that <br />
you want to make some money on the internet. You <br />
join a few free affiliate programs, maybe a couple <br />
of free m.l.m. programs and if you’re really into it, <br />
you get your own domain name and web site. <br />
<br />
So far your business expenses are peanuts and you can <br />
close shop anytime without any regrets. You don’t have <br />
a vested interest in your business due to the lack of <br />
a financial commitment. That’s how about 80% of the so <br />
called “online business owners” operate. No concept, <br />
no plan and no future. <br />
<br />
Then there’s another group of “online business owners” <br />
who are all fired up about their new Endeavour and <br />
nothing can stop them. They do everything they’ve been <br />
told by whom ever they listen to and they also spend <br />
a considerably amount of money to get their business <br />
going. There’s really nothing wrong with this other <br />
than that they are too eager and too motivated to <br />
get their business off the ground. Unfortunately <br />
most of them will quite after a few months. <br />
Unfortunately this is mostly due to avoidable mistakes. <br />
<br />
The third and smallest group are the folks who <br />
actually made it. Well, let me define “made it” <br />
for a moment. I call a business a success if you <br />
can make a profit after you paid all the expenses <br />
and I mean all the expenses. Now you can argue if <br />
it is worthwhile to put in so much work for not <br />
much in return. This is a call that every one of <br />
you has to make on your own. <br />
<br />
I purposely left out the group with the guys who <br />
are making more money a day than most of us make <br />
in a year. First, it is completely unrealistic to <br />
assume that you actually will achieve the same <br />
results as the “big ones” with the limited resources <br />
you have. Second, these guys may have started as a <br />
one man show, but today they are a corporation with <br />
many employees like every other company doing big <br />
business on the internet. <br />
<br />
Back to the 3 groups I mentioned before. Group #1, <br />
the no concept, no plan, no future group, is not <br />
even worth mentioning. They are just a waste of <br />
time. Group #3, the guys who ‘made it’, is out o <br />
reach at the moment. The fact that you’re reading <br />
this article puts you into the group #2 category. <br />
You’re eager to build your business and you’re <br />
determined to make it happen. I hope by pointing <br />
out the pitfalls you will actually avoid the mistakes <br />
I made and it will bring you a step closer to your <br />
ultimate goal. Be your o.w.n b.o.s.s. <br />
<br />
Here’s a list of common mistakes every startup online <br />
business should avoid. <br />
<br />
1. Not Having a Plan <br />
<br />
Set yourself a goal on where you want to be in 12 <br />
months after starting your online business. Without <br />
a plan, even the simplest plan, your ambitions are <br />
poised to fail. <br />
<br />
2. Not Having Your Own Web Site <br />
<br />
Get your own domain name and web site. There are many <br />
marketers who want you to believe that you can make <br />
lots of money without having your own web site. Make <br />
a professional staement and get your own domain name <br />
and web site. <br />
<br />
3. Too Many Activities to Manage <br />
<br />
Pick your affiliate and m.l.m. programs wisely. Most <br />
newcomers fail due to the lack of focus. Too many <br />
programs will not increase your chances of hitting <br />
the jackpot. Focus on the most effective programs <br />
and stick with it. You will be rewarded in the long <br />
run. <br />
<br />
4. Spending Too Much Money Too Quickly <br />
<br />
Spending your hard earned money on advertising can <br />
quickly turn into an addiction. Meaning that you <br />
fall for the myth that the more you spend on <br />
advertising the more money you make. Wrong. You <br />
could spend all the money in the world on the wrong <br />
marketing strategy and still not making a profit. <br />
This will happen to you with all the pay-per-click <br />
search engines. There’s a reason why Google is <br />
skyrocketing at the stock market. There are too <br />
many advertisers spending too much money on pay-per-<br />
click and are not realizing that the only winner is <br />
Google themselves. The only thing that will stop this <br />
behavior is you either run out of money or your credit <br />
card is maxed out. My advice, pay-per-click is the <br />
last part of a well planned marketing strategy. There <br />
are much more effective advertising vehicles available <br />
than pay-per-click. <br />
<br />
5. Don’t SPAM <br />
<br />
This is single most reason why startup online businesses <br />
get in trouble and actually have to close and start all <br />
over again. If you have a newsletter or some other <br />
information you want to distribute via email. Only use <br />
verified email addresses, typically double opt-in- email <br />
addresses that you collected. Stay away from any brokers <br />
who want to sell you huge lists of emails for pennies. <br />
This is the surefire way to get into trouble and out o <br />
business. My advice, slowly grow your email list with <br />
verified addresses only. These people actually want to <br />
hear from you and are more likely to buy from you.<br />
 <br />
Unfortunately I didn’t have this information when I started <br />
my online business and I paid for making these mistakes. <br />
Don’t do what I did, do what I’m telling you to do. Sounds <br />
familiar? Well in this case it is just a recap of my <br />
experiences and hopefully you get some use out of this. <br />
