Avoid The Reason 98% Of Online Businesses Fail
What is the main reason most online businesses fail?
Is the system they are using? Is it the keywords they are using? Keyword density? Affiliate program?
It could be technically argued that those things could be a contributing factor, however there is a more immediate reason. A reason that isn't directly related to just your skill set, a reason that is more related to your mindset.
Let's take a look at this from a birds eye view. Is it possible to be involved in an affiliate program that don't fit you, or use the wrong keywords to attract the right targeted traffic? Of course it is, but if you get frustratred and give up before you figure it out, your doomed no matter what your trying to do.
If you quit, you fail no matter what, no other option. But if you fail, pick yourself up and dust yourself off and try again, there is a good chance you will fail again, but there is also a chance you will learn from your failures, change your approach, and succeed. If you quit, there is no option of success.
How does a commercial jet fail to stay on course 95% of time yet almost all of them land exactly where they intended?
Lets look at the way some things that are similar to this find success in massive failure. A commercial jet on autopilot is off the projected course 95% of the time, yet can land in the exact city, on the exact runway withing a few yards of it's intended location, and it happens thousands of times a day!
How does this happen? As the jet is in the air, the winds push the plane off course. Does the pilot panic, get frustrated, and jump out of the plane for safety? Of course not, the path is corrected and jet is once again on course. Then it gets off course, corrects to get on course, and so on. Very rarely is it right on course until it lands safely on the ground.
Use the same principals in your online business. If you panic and quit, you fail. Instead, adjust yourself to get closer to your target. You can do this by looking at your results of lack of results, educating yourself a bit more, finding someone that is having success doing what your doing and model them, whatever you need to do, just don't quit.
I also have to say that if you write some sales copy to promote an offer, and you get no response you can't just keep promoting that same sales copy over and over and over as you may get the same result, nothing. More than likely you will need to make some adjustments, just like the jet, and try again, watch to see if your getting the results you want, and adjust again until you "land" on target.
Don't do what 98% of the people do when they try their hand at an online business, quit. Don't ever quit, just keep trying and trying and trying until you get there. You may never realize that just on the other side of the failure you had when you quit was massive success.
Hope this means something to you, and hope it helps inspire you to do what it takes in this business, I also hope that when your about to quit, you remember this blog, and force yourself to get up, and go at it again! Never give up, all of us get knocked down, only the successful few will get knocked down over and over until they figure it out!
Talk to you soon my friends!
