Technical Problems Killing Profits?

4 replies
Just wondering what sort of technical issues seem to trip you up the most in the world of IM?

Example: Back when I started my online marketing career, I never could get the hang of HTML landing and squeeze pages. There was always some sort of formatting error, or image that would not center properly, etc.

With Wordpress, Installing lead forms was a big problem as they seemed to break my pages on certain themes, and I just couldn't figure it out. I ended up outsourcing most of these problems as I was irritated to the point of pulling my hair out.

Wondering what the top challenges are these days? Any particular technical challenges that you encounter on a fairly regular basis?

    The biggest "technical" challenge I faced was my hosting provider...I was hosting a site on a server that initially looked fine i.e if you went typed in the address, website loaded ok..it was when installed WordPress and Optimize press and started to build a sales page and members area that I encountered the issues....making basic changes and then clicking Update could take up to 5 mins..I found this SOOO frustrating and assumed it was the norm..it was only when I switched the domain name to a new server that I relaized the first hosting provider was downright slow.. because now I can update pages lightening fast...so my best piece of advice would be to make sure you have adequate hosting..sound obvious but I wasted a few weeks

    my biggest problem has been with my vbulletin forum..... But I try and do any updates during the evening when its quiet so that if I do have any problems the site is not down when its busy :-)

      We all have technical problems of one sort or another and we're all looking to improve aspects of our online business. That's the main reason the vast majority of people are on WF.

    Getting a good webhost/server for a reasonable price was my biggest problem!
