What's the #1 thing you struggled with in your online biz?

Hi,
I believe the biggest problem is traffic. This though only at the beginning. Later you get the hang of it and then it's not so hard anymore.

It is kinda like the first Clickbank sale

Hi,
Thank you for bringing such topic up as
I find it interesting...

As soon as I read the post it took me to
a flashback when I started of new...

The first thing I totally struggled with to build
a website or blog on word-press....

I never done a website before and was a
complete newbie...

It took me 2 days to figure out the basic of
post and pages...

The worst I have to say was trying to figure
out how to put a comment box under the first
ever blog I did...

When I did figure out how to enable a comment
box the worst was I had it set on people have to
register to comment...

Every time I go back thinking about it as not being
a technical guy and a complete newbie,

I would say that was a complete nightmare for me....

I actually look back at it and laugh sometime thinking
how easy it is and I struggled so badly with it but I
have to say its one of those things right....

yeah similar to above... getting traffic is really tough! once you have the traffic however, it makes things easier

Hi

I struggled with getresponse and understanding and setting up the auto-responder...

I was completely confused and still struggling with what to write in the email campaigns

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm sure you guys agree...looking back at the journey, it's pretty awesome. So far, everything you guys shared I can def relate to. Traffic being the biggest of my struggles early on.

Lack of focus, and waste time on backlinking. All these can be done using productivity tools like evernote, and gsa ser, etc.

Problem - How to keep focussed?

Solution - Write your goal 10 times a day

Hi,



The No.1 hurdle in tackling IM business is getting customers onboard.

It is difficult to connect with people on an emotional level, especially when both of you present online.

Getting them trust you is the most difficult part.

Once they do, you have a smooth sail in cracking sales for the rest of your life.



Good luck!

The main thing I struggled with was actually getting the ball rolling in the first place.

It's so easy to spend all day reading and watching videos but unless you're actually taking action you're getting no where...

Even with that, comes the procrastination involved in choosing a direction to go in... Do I focus on FB ads? Do I focus on building a list? Do I develop my own product?

I cannot stress enough how important it is to just pick a path and stay upon it until you've mastered it. Take at least small steps every day or you'll never get to the end of the path. Hint: that's where the money is

Traffic... getting people's attention... sales. As with all new business.

Though some may have found technical parts difficult when starting out, there are enough resources to get that out of the way. Freelancers nowadays work very cheaply and offer results.

Ultimately, it comes down to getting customers and selling.

The #1 thing I've struggled with is being fully committed enough to actually start turning a decent profit, month to month. I have always been extremely busy with my full-time job and would dabble here and there in Net Marketing...I hadn't even created a Warrior Forum account even though I was regularly visiting here for well over a year. Anyways, I am now fully committed to making my IM goals become a reality by allocating AT LEAST a few hours to this seven days a week...Oh and I finally created my own WF account

Getting people to do the work. Its amazing how so many people want to earn extra money but very few are willing to do what it takes. Everybody else jumps from one shiny object to the other hoping for the solution. I say to those people your better off saving your money and buying lottery tickets because anything worth achieving for takes work.

Lack of focus. Definitely. I still didn't cure my entrepreneurial ADD but I got it mostly under control and can now channel it in useful directions.

i agree with lack of focus, we have many things to do and we have many things that unfocused us as well.. if you are focus, the biggest problem is conversions, traffic is really easy to get

Depends on the business

Although, I think that all forms of online business boil down to sticking with it.

Your mind is a tremendously powerful thing.

Believe that you can't, and you won't. Believe that you can, and great things will happen.

I just didn't think that i could actually make money online.

Where i come from, we started off with original direct response marketing.... offline marketing where we do advertorials, direct mail, magazine advertising, classified ads, and NO internet.

I didn't make a killing with my offline business. I've made so much more money with my online business than all of my offline activities combined.

With online marketing, i had no idea where to start, i never heard of the WarriorForum, and if i did hear about it, i wouldn't have joined anyway because of my ego. I didn't like the idea that i had to get advice from people who *think* they're smarter than me.

Stupid me.
