Biggest Reason For Newbie Failure

Yep. That is the primary reason hands down. Many people think the internet is set up to push a couple of buttons, or simply build a website and they will be raking in the dough. Real IM's know it doesn't work that way. It takes work to build traffic, or a list, etc. I think once people realize this many just simply don't want to put in the necessary effort to become successful.

Agreed...Too many people do not take action....Also many newbies struggle getting traffic in general and not just hot and cold....

The number one reason newbies fail is cause they're new! :rolleyes:

The number one reason newbies lack focus and concentration is cause they don't know what the heck to focus on!

Exploration and 'focus' are two opposing things, and they're in the exploration phase!

Newbies are just constantly getting suckered and sold to left and right! Since they are new, they don't know what to look for, what to avoid, what to trust, what works or doesn't work.

They're guilable when they're new cause they're just trying to learn and figure it out, not knowing what direction to go in cause they're getting pulled in 5 million directions at once from hyped up promises and thousands of different 'methods' and 'success stories' all over the place. They don't have a good means to even be able to know which ones are good or not or more worth their time to focus on cause they don't have any experience yet to know that!

So they get pulled into something, the next shiny 'method' that is only a small piece to a larger puzzle they still don't understand or are educated on, so they don't even know what to do with it! So they go looking for more answers and clues on what exactly to do, only to get suckered into to a different shiny method and direction that also is only a snippet of the full business model!

So they keep wandering aimlessly, not knowing why none of it has worked for them as they try to duplicate some outdated trick that supposedly worked for someone else once (like contact fb Fanpages and jv with them to send a post of your CPA offer). Only to find out they get no one to agree and it's against FB's tos so no one wants to risk their accounts.

So they're discouraged and look for the next answer of what could make money, looking through the shiny promises again.

"Oh maybe this Fiverr arbitrage is as easy as these sellers keep saying, if only I follow what they did." So they buy their guides and try to follow it, only to find out that no one ever responds to the hundreds and hundreds of specific type of emails they wrote to website owners exactly like the guide said to do, spending days on end on the time consuming tasks of it, with no results! Only to have to come to the conclusion that either the seller was lying or they're just unlucky or doing some small thing wrong that they haven't a clue what it is.

So they again go back to search for another answer, seeing what is working for others and not having a clear picture of anything. Having to sort through all the noise to find the things that they even have the right tools for to have a good chance with (that matches their budget, tech skills, social skills, time, resources etc). Try to follow another unclear guide and repeating their same failures.

So I completely disagree that it's lack of action. They often take plenty of action, just the wrong action or the right action done the wrong way and give up when it's not working cause they don't have anyone to explain to them why it's not working and what they could do to tweak it and make it work. So they assume it just doesn't work and repeat their cycle.

The greatest thing that would help a newbie succeed would be a true one on one successful coach in an area they want to have success with, who would be able to guide them, show them exactly what to focus and what actions to take, and answer all their questions. Then they actually could filter out all the noise and clutter and focus on all the aspects that make a SPECIFIC Business Model work.

Problem is most newbies can't even afford paid advertising, let alone an expensive coach. And if they could, they don't know they need a coach cause they think they could go it alone on the cheap with $10 WSO's that'll give them the same info (so they think). Perhaps if they refuse to give up no matter how many times they fail or how long, they'll eventually start to know enough and hear the same things over and over again of what is working best for most and most consistently, that they finally catch on to. Then they could filter out the shiny objects leading them in every which direction.

By then they're not so 'new' anymore!

One reason newbies still want to try outdated methods is because some marketers are still peddling those outdated methods as the next best thing. If you look hard enough, there's probably some clown out there selling 'how to profit from FFA pages' and 'get rich spamming Usenet newsgroups' info because they were dumb enough to buy the business-in-a-box themselves.

So the actual solution is adopting the right opposite:
1) Take action.
2) Get focused.
3) Get the right frame of mind.
4) Work smart, and hard.
5) Only doing the above four guarantees progress.

Newbies not taking action?

Are you kidding me?

They take more action steps, see more financial loss and keep coming back for more punishment.

Why?

90% of the time they are sold a bill of bad goods. They're just not savvy enough to know the difference.

I love how marketers praise newbies for lining their pockets but then blame these same newbies when their own system doesn't really work and the newbie is seeking help or answers.
