| 10 Serious Making Money On The Internet Mistakes - Part 1 |
In the first part, I introduce 5 mistakes that are often made when making money on the Internet.
This is not about technical errors, but in most cases, the problem lies with your attitude and practical implementation. Anyone can work on it.
You Don't Start
A big problem that I see again and again is due to being hesitant for too long. Instead of getting started, people think about whether it is worth it or not.
E.g. when creating niche websites. There are, of course, a few things that one should do before building a niche website. The analysis and selection of a good niche are very important. But that shouldn't be a thing to think about for weeks or months. Some people are forever looking for the perfect niche that simply doesn't exist.
In addition, many ponder whether they should start. They worry that they may have invested 50 hours of their life by the end of it and the niche website is not going to be a success. But when you consider how many countless hours most people waste on pointless things, I don't think that's an argument. And even if the first niche website is not a success (neither was mine), then you have learned a lot and gained so much important experience.
If you hesitate and don't start, you only waste time in which you could be further yourself and in which your website could already have its first good rankings, e.g. in Google.
So get started! Not tomorrow, but today!
You Have No Plan
Getting started quickly is important, but you should still know what you want to do.
Simply creating a website from the gut and taking any other measures can bring something, but usually, you will be far below the possible potential. Therefore, you should have a plan of exactly where you want to go and what you want to do step by step.
So if you start a blog, for example, in addition to the topic, you should also think about what the competition looks like, which target group you want to address exactly, which content is useful for it, how often you can write new articles, which marketing measures you use, which sources of income make sense, etc.
It's not about setting everything in stone, on the contrary. Of course, you learn a lot with the implementation and that affects your plan, which is constantly adapting. Nevertheless, you should not start without a head and goals, as you will never know what you have already achieved and what is possible.
For You, Money Is The Most Important Thing
If you want to make money on the Internet, money is of course important. But if you only think about money, you will often fail.
There is now also great competition on the Internet, especially because the costs for your website are so low. To be successful here, you have to build something special and stand behind it.
Of course, this costs effort and time, and possibly money. In addition, you don't become successful on the Internet overnight; it is hard work.
Anyone who starts a website with the sole aim of making money will give up very quickly. I've seen that over and over again in recent years. Money as motivation is not permanent, there has to be more.
You Don't Think About Your Visitors
This point is strongly related to the previous one. Unfortunately, there are many website operators and even bloggers who do not think about their visitors. It is mainly optimized for Google and designed according to your ideas, layout, content, and monetization.
However, this is not optimal, because in the end, what matters most is whether the visitors/readers like your website. These must-have added value, because only then will they come back, buy something, click on advertising, etc.
Therefore it is important to think of the potential readers and to align your website primarily with them. Ideally, of course, you will find an intersection that you and the readers like.
Under no circumstances should you ignore your visitors, because then it will be difficult to earn money on the Internet.
You Don't Obey The Rules
One of the reasons why the Internet is so interesting for making money is that you can be very flexible. It's easy to implement new ideas and be creative. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't stick to a few rules if you want to be successful in the long term.
Many website operators think they can outsmart Google. Tricks of some kind on your website or purchased links are used to try to get to the top in Google faster than would normally be the case. However, Google is becoming more and more intelligent and those who overdo it often find themselves at the bottom of the rankings with a penalty.
But the legal point of view must also not be disregarded. The internet is no longer a legal-free zone. In the past, it wasn't, but today the prosecution of legal violations is much stricter and it is not for nothing that many lawyers have specialized in, for example, prosecuting copyright violations. A single warning in the four-digit range can eat up the first income very quickly.
If you stick to the rules, on the other hand, you can build a stable and successful website and earn money.
So It Goes On
