12 Mistakes That Will Run You Definitely Out Of Business

By Valeriu Popescu

1. You don't have a Unique Web Position

What do you think your site have special than others? Have you offer to your visitors enough motives to come back again? Do you have something to stand out from the crowd? Did you offer better information, services, free stuff, marketing tools? Take some time to define your position - look at your competitors and discover how you can be more relevant they are.

2. Spread your advertising to the whole world

Your website will never satisfied all the people... and this isn't your goal. Now face it: only the big guys try to deal like this and only couple of them succeed (like Yahoo!, Amazon, e-Bay, Google).

Start by finding people with problems and solve them. Get your niche market, become an expert adviser and dominate it. Please understand: focus on a specific prospect or group.

3. You have in love with your own product or service

This is one of the main reason people failed online: they get "in love" with a bad product or service they develop. I know, it's very hard to quit your "baby", but the only way to have a healthy business is to offer a product or service that people really wanted.

Don't blame Internet because you failed. The 'Net is a BIG media source that changes every day, so you must to. My best advice is to throw away your hard selling product/ service and get a new one as quickly as possible! Look at your customers/ subscribers needs. Ask them about their problems and try to fix them with a great product or service.
