Reasons Why Internet Newbies Fail to Make Money & How To Avoid Them

And solution to all of this problems is one. Buy a "push button" product and wolla, 7 figure income will be all yours

Good points Paul and everything is very true. Many set too high and unrealistic goals, many have no intend to work hard and think they will make money a lazy way, many don`t focus on one think and try to do many things at the same time..

Many newbies also subscribe to too many lists from "gurus" and they get bombarded from all sides and really can`t find a way into the game

It is very easy bro, if he or she knows exactly what they want and stick on it no matter the distractions.

If you want to build your internet marketing on website flipping, study about it, get the know the experts based on it, learn from them and take ACTION.

It doesn't make sense buying products or spending much time implementing google adsense or others things @ same time.

If you will be focus, you will surely overcome the challenge, And the money. Then you can move the next one.

I think the points above is absurd and appropriate. But, as you pointed "newbies". All will surely learn from the experience and finally it may be better, even successful.

These are all very good points. Lots of internet newbies like to try big things only to find out it is a waste of time. At least most intelligent people who fail either decide to pass internet marketing or pursue it more with outsourcing.

Outsourcing imo is the only way to learn about internet marketing the way it is intended. You are essentially investing into a website to make money anyways, why not spend money onto of it to speed up the process. A little money can go a long way around here. Investments are key.

I think the main reason why a lot of newbies fail or give up is because they have a serious misconception of what internet marketing is all about and what is really takes to make money online. Of course there are many factors hat come into play here and some have been outlined in this thread, but having the view that people 'enter' internet marketing and instantly make money is without doubt a major issue. This steers people away from the nitty gritty of what IM entails and leads them on a wild goose chase of that magic 'one click' bullet. This leads them into purchasing hyped up products that most of which don't deliver.. which inevitably leads them to quiting.

I think people having realistic goals and those that are willing to start with the very basics and have the patience to learn, digest and practice... well there the ones who have the best chance of success.

I'd add one more.
They don't believe in themselves and/or have no accomplishments of their own.
When you achieved/did nothing significant, it's difficult to teach others(create products). It's also difficult start doing something new(affiliate marketing after being an unhappy doctor for all of his/her life).

There is a vicious circularity to Internet Marketing that perpetuates and exacerbates this problem. The problems the OP points out lead to clever marketers coming up with "easy" solutions that are appealing, which creates lots of sales. This creates pie-in-the-sky expectations among buyers, which precludes all but the best marketers from being able to sell courses/products that do NOT promise easy solutions.

Just try putting up a WSO where you tell prospects to expect to work their butts off with no guarantee of financial gain for their efforts. Go through the WSO section right now and keep a tally of how many even hint at this. It's a handful.

Vicious cycle. Infinite feedback loop. It's the nature of this particular beast. It sucks, but it is what it is.

The only way this will ever change is if respected marketers with a lot of reach pound this message home at every opportunity. Even then I have my doubts. The human proclivity to believe fanciful claims, especially about money (or love), is probably impossible to overcome on any mass scale.

Thanks

You're right. Eventually, having your own product and subscriber base is essential to becoming successful because then you will be able to leverage your sales using affiliates as partners to sell it for you.

you need to set time outside each day for your internet marketing activities, and more importantly, performing those activities each day without failing.

It is important you know the kind of task you are doing. outsource task that takes too much of your time or that you are not good in doing.
And focus in doing one time at a time.

#5. New internet Marketers dont like taking ACTION:

There is no two ways about this. No action will produce no result.
so it is very important you act on what you have learned or the idea that you have been nursing.

Thanks for your attention.

I think this is pretty generalised assumption. Infact there's 3 points here I totally disagree with.

#2. New internet Marketers usually dont have their own product:

From the very start, Ive always created my own products. Infact Ive only ever created my own products. But having my own products meant nothing. Most of them were total failures, resulting in complete losses - not big sales and huge profits as you suggest. Anyone can have their own product, but unless they know what theyre doing, it wont instantly mean "success".

#3. New internet Marketers lack a true desire to succeed:

Garbage. Ive been putting in close to 15 hour days, almost every day for the last 2 and a half years. If thats not "desire" then I dont know what is.

#5. New internet Marketers dont like taking ACTION:

See above.

I believe that the missing key here is coaching. Not information (which will very soon become information overload and then good luck!), but COACHING.

Modelling seasoned marketers' success on your own as a green newbie can be pretty challenging: There are a lot of details involved that you don't even realize that they exist when you start online. Tiny shifts create enormous difference in results: That's why subtle details are of tremendous importance. This is scary!

The internet can be hell for those that believe they can enter the scenery and succeed just like that, simply because they decided to make a killing online. Just like that? With no education and no skills? No way!

Most people don't educate themselves properly mostly because of the high costs that a reliable coaching demands. And you know what? They end up paying more money in the end, as they keep on buying the one shiny object after the other. But yet no gold for them, right?

Internet marketing is a real business and the only way for one to succeed is to treat it like one. Don't be fooled by the scam artists that have a great interest in your believing the opposite.

Have fun and great success! Always with a strategy that suits your needs!

Hi ramone, maybe you miss understand the 3 points.

#1. Not Having their own product..YES

I never said a newbie cant make a dime online without creating his own info product. But what you have to know is information marketing is one of the internet business model that can never die even if others do.

And creating your own info product helps you in attracting more money and building your business on the solid rock of internet marketing.

Newbie will also need to learn how the it works b4 he or she can succeed with it. If you have done with you suppose to do, i don't think you will fail with your first info product. period.

#2. lacking true desire to succeed. YES

spending much time online doesn't mean you have a desire to succeed. someone can spend tens of hrs online playing games, does it mean he wants to succeed on IM?

It is all about knowing what you want and having the determination to achieve the desire even if it involve your time, effort and money.

#3. Action. They don't like taking ACTION...YES.

Like i said before No action will produce no result
or should i say "Right Action produces Good Result"

I Also stand to be corrected.

cheers

Thanks

Hi Paul,

That's not a "bad" list of reasons, but I wouldn't say that those are 90% of the reasons for the failure rate. There are many reasons that people fail online, but there are some that most of us who have been around for awhile would all have in their Top-10 or Top-20 list. These are so powerful that if you miss more than a couple of them you're almost guaranteed to fail.

I'll get back to this in a couple days.

Thanks

No doubt about it...there are more other reasons. and will like if you or others can point them out here so we can learn from them.

As all the comments listed here is so very true for the most part. Newbies have no real business model to follow because of all the hype about making money. I am so new to the IM. I have no experience, no money, no coach but this forum has help me a lot. How do we know who to trust. If nobody is actually pointing us in the right direction it is easy to get caught up in the hype. I have brought a guide to help me learn IM and so far I am learning from that. I will not spend another dime on anymore information. I will not get caught up in the hype. This forum is were I need to be. I do not expect to get rich overnight.I would love to do this long term and as a real business.

Anybody willing to offer a good way of learning or any coaching advice for a total newbie.

I think there are three main reasons for the failure of the newbies; The first is that the Internet contains countless information and it is difficult to know the difference between a true opportunity and a scam. Imagine that newbies may be able at the outset to distinguish between a scam and a good business. it would change many things if it were possible ...

The second one is overwhelming by the gurus. And who can blame them when there is so many launches every month, if not every week for a brand new product full of empty promises. They make it sounds so easy but at the end the only things that's matter is ripping them off. it's not a surprise that many off them (newbies) are so addicted that they can't stop buying their crap!

The third reason is a lack of action and focus to achieve their goals.
I will add to that, that having a coach could make all the difference between success and failure.
