You probably read many ads or even self improvement stories that claim a large part in why Home Based Business Failure is so common is because you basically don't have the "secret", or some other make money mindset that only the successful have.
Do you believe that is the only reason? Let me tell you a brief story that might change your thinking and get you back on track to making money at home and yes, online! Story 1: I know a marketer I met online that made some $300,000 in sales in his first 10 months.
He netted over $200,000.
When we talked, he was not pleased with his program and wanted something better! Sounds crazy, huh? However it is true.
Why? I'll tell ya in a bit.
Read on.
Story 2: I know another marketer, who I'll call "me", that made about $8000 in his second month with a new online program, and did this with no advertising.
He too was not pleased with his results.
Why? Ok, I'll let you in on a few things.
These guys were not pleased with their "success", because most of the people that joined their program, did not do so well.
These guys knew the program worked.
So what did they have that resulted in sales, that their new people did not have? Why did they not become part of the home based business failure statistic, while others using the same program did not do so well.
Several reasons, but a few that are key.
1.
Traffic: yes we know you heard this a 1000 times but you need to learn some ways to get traffic.
Free is best early on so you are not so worried about advertising costs when you still are not convinced your program really works.
2.
Unrealistic expectations: believing all the hype that you will have a sale in 24 hours, or make $30,000 in your first month.
Do some see this happen? Sure.
But most newbies have minimal resources in traffic generating as well as EXPERIENCE to judge a programs response to their ads to have full belief in it.
What do you trust when you have no prior experience? 3.
Automated systems: your program may not have been as hands off as a newbie really needs.
If the system pretty much closes the sale for you, then you are taken out of the loop.
This is what you should look for when starting out so you can spend all of your time generating traffic.
By the way one of the stories I mentioned is about me and the other guy is a great example of working together as a team, so home based business failure is not an option.
We talk almost daily on our programs marketing ideas, and never met face to face.
We share and trust opinions and results from testing things we each do to get traffic and sales.
We located a program that is extremely automated, leaving generating traffic as your primary focus.
You can feel reassured that you do need a positive attitude for success, but you are far from a failure if you don't have traffic generating knowledge combined with the right automated marketing system.
That type of system lessens your chances of home based business failure.
