I Want it Now Syndrome...

Published on April 2, 2014

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Since I joined the Wealthy Affiliate I have referred or invited 150 new members, a large percentage have never even completed their account profiles. I tried everything in the book to encourage, cajole, and bribery to change the situation.

I have concluded they suffer from I want it now syndrome. They stumble into WA take a quick look around and seeing no promises of quick money and the real possibility they might have to "work to earn" and they are gone.

What can you do to improve the conversions to retain these tire kickers? Absolutely nothing...until they grow weary with the search for the pot of gold that doesn't exist there really isn't much you can do for them. On the bright side they are excellent future prospects, way in the future but they will be back.

Instead of wasting time on them concentrate on the ones that are ready to build for the future with a legitimate business of their own.

That's how I see it anyway!
