A recent online survey asked people to comment on why so many people fail at internet marketing. One person said that it is because they don't take action, while another said, they take action too quickly. Another commented that they learn the wrong stuff from the wrong people. Another suggested that they are not committed to their business. In the same light another said that they do not treat their business like a business. There were many other responses, but these few reflect the nature of the responses of the many.
One blog post speculates that people fail at internet marketing because they fail to plan and they fail to work the plan. Another article suggests that there is one reason and one reason only that people fail at internet marketing and that is that they fail to act!
With the technology available today, we still have to ask, "Why do so many people fail at internet marketing?" Prior to the internet, when multilevel marketing was beginning to flourish, building a home business was exhausting. You had to find people in your community to sign up. You were somewhat limited to people you actually knew, unless you were brave enough to prospect at your local mall. You had to buy products and stock them in your garage. You had to go to meetings several times a month and drag people with you who really had no interest in going. Seriously, building a business back then was a big deal! Nevertheless there were a lot of people who got "hog nasty rich" in the industry. There were also tons of people who failed at building a home business.
With the advent of the internet building a home business has been greatly simplified. Almost every aspect of building an internet business can be done from the comfort of your home, in your pajamas if you prefer. YouTube is there to answer virtually every question that you have about building an internet business. There are marketing experts who have blazed a trail to success and they have left really valuable bread crumbs for those who are struggling to follow. All of that and so much more, yet a whopping 95% of the people who start out to build a business still fail at internet marketing
While the reasons for internet marketing failures mentioned in the first paragraphs are all good, I think there is a deeper reason to consider. When you think about it, if a person really wants to do something, they will find a way to do it, if they want it badly enough. A person with a burning passion to do something does not throw out excuses for why they missed the mark. They note the reason for their failed effort and they give it another shot. They keep doing this until they have exhausted all of their resources, and then they try again. A person with a burning drive to win will overcome every obstacle and they will not rest until they hit the mark.
Let me leave you with a few questions to ponder. Have you ever failed at internet marketing? Are you failing now in the internet marketing industry? If so, let me ask you this, what is the burning passion that got you into this business? What is at stake if you fail in your online marketing business? There is really nothing else to be said, think about the questions. Write about them from the deepest part of your being. If you find that your passion burns deep, yet you still have failed to succeed online, then I have just one piece of advice for you. Try Again! Here's to Your Success!
