6-website creation was the hardest part when i first started but, lately its 1-creating a new product. Good ideas are sometimes hard to come by.

I, personally think Traffic generation. The rest only take so much time, but generating quality traffic is always a constant challenge for me.

You missed a biggy, here's it:

For me, traffic generation. It's really the only thing you don't have control over. I can control if I want to start a venture.. I can't FORCE people to visit me..

Based on my experience, I will say it's picking a niche. It's make or break. You pick the right one, the rest of your choices are do-able. If you get your niche wrong, well then........

Every one of your other choices can be outsourced easily. Not sure about list building though.....

Thats' probably true. It's very important that you pick the right niche, but it doesn't really take that long to decide on one, or does it?

Wow, I read some stats about this kind of poll before, but I must say that I am amazed! Almost 50% of everyone believes that traffic generation is the biggest challenge. Now if only we can find a sollution to this problem.

Taking Action definitely.

Traffic is simple with paid sources so thats not a problem.

My biggest challenge is getting others to promote my products as an affiliate. I offer very good splits on the commission (always over 55%), but I continue to be my number 1 affiliate. None have ever outsold me.

Simple SEO with proper keyword choices should handle the traffic part

Picking a niche would be my hurdle, though so far I have a list of them I am not through yet...

So I feel really good about not being able to pick one

I think I will take a nap

Although, it's easy to buy traffic, it still costs alot of money, and I think the majority of Internet Marketers don't really have the starting capital to take on big PPC campaigns and that is why they struggle and take a lot of time to drive traffic.

Exactly what I was thinking.

In fact, it's probably the BIGGEST problem among those who are not succeeding.

Not getting enough traffic? Well, what did you actually DO today to get more?

Having problems picking a niche? What method are you using, how are you researching, what are you DOING?

And the list goes on.

If that were on the poll, it would get my vote.

All the best,
Michael
