Top Online Marketing Mistakes to Avoid

If you are struggling to succeed with your online business, perhaps you are in need of some tips about online marketing mistakes to avoid. It is not easy to start an online business. Only 3% of those who work with an online business are successful. There are many common mistakes that entrepreneurs make when entering their first few years of an online business.

Quitting too Early: Just because one marketing method did not generate 100 leads for you in one day, it’s not time to give up on it. There are many ways you can tweak 1 method and have it work for you. Explore all of your options. Research what works and make it work for you. Assess whether you are wasting your time and money after thoroughly testing out the method.

Not Doing Enough Research: You must educate yourself in order to educate others. Learning the best methods of your business and all about the latest trends for your niche will attract people to you and your business. If you are not up to date on what is popular or what people want, it will be hard to dominate your competition.

Not Giving it Your All: Too many people think starting an online business is easy. Making it to the top requires sacrifice, desire and persistence. If you are not ready to commit 100% to your business, there is no point of starting it. You will need to constantly overcome challenges and fight through what you dislike in order to get to the top.

Not Branding Your Business: There are millions of business out there and thousands of them in the same niche as yours. You need to establish your brand. Make sure you are unique and have an advantage over the competition. Having your face in the picture will allow people to approach you, know you and trust you more than just a logo or advertisement.

These are only a few online marketing mistakes to avoid. Do not quit too early, a sale could be just around the corner. Keep on top of your research, give it your all and brand yourself to establish trust and loyalty for your customers.

Good luck!

How to Make Friends on Facebook

You may already have a few people from high school as your friends. This will not be good enough if you are trying to run a business and generate sales. Learning how to make friends on Facebook will guarantee you the right leads and quality traffic for your business.

Search through Facebook groups that relate to the type of people you are looking for. Example: You could search for a group based on boats if you are selling boat products. Add about 10-20 people per day.

If someone has a great picture and profile, add them as a friend. Do not pick people with silly pictures or no pictures at all. Once they have accepted a friendship, send them a welcome message. Do not send them your website right away or they might ignore you or delete you. Treat these messages like you are meeting someone for the first time. Look at their profile and try to pull ideas from it. 

Example: "I see you love spending your time outdoors and fishing, what kind of boat do you have? I also enjoy the outdoors and would be lost without my speedboat! Talk to you soon." Do not go for the sale right away. You won't get it.

The idea is to get to know someone and let them know you. Build it up and take your time, the business talk and sales will come if you are patient.

Once you have made initial contact with a new friend. Check your profile and delete your "new friend add" post on your wall. The reason for this is that If someone sees that you have added 10 friends every day, they might get the idea that you are just out to market to them and they will not add you back as a friend. Once you know how to make friends on Facebook, your sales will improve dramatically.

Have a productive day

The Best Online Business Ideas

When looking for the best online business the following tips be researched:

Is the business a recession proof business? You need to make sure that something you choose is not going to go under if the economic times get worse. Something that has great products and can teach you how to save and invest your money would be a great idea of a recession proof business opportunity. You should also choose a business that has already been active for more than 3 years. Many new business go under right in their first year so choose a business that you know has a great reputation with lots of successful leaders.

Another thing to look into is the compensation plan. If you are making less than 30% commission off of each sale, it might not be worth it for you. If you’re the type of person who is looking for more free time and residual income, then choose something with a high commission. If the products are a little more pricey, that’s ok, if you are a great leader and marketer you will be able to sell anything. A high commission product means higher income and less work for you!

Some other great online business ideas are businesses that provide you with education. If you can sign up with a business that is constantly upgrading their product line and marketing education to help you achieve more sales, you and your wallet will be very happy.

Some of the best online business ideas aren’t really ideas at all, they are already existing businesses. Just look for the topics mentioned above before you decide to choose a business to join. Look for a recession proof business, the compensation plan and education.

Good luck!
