5 Problems with Common “Build Your
Online Info-Business” Sites

1. Assumptions –

Many sites and courses take certain things for granted…like your ability to create a web page, or generate traffic. You need to have some technical savvy in order to follow the “steps”. If you’ve never built a web site before, or have very limited experience, this can be one of the most daunting parts of starting a blog.

2. Overviews –

While a how-to may take you step by general step through the basics of setting up a blog or online product page…the steps are usually very broad. You may be told to “design a front page”, or “set up a vendor for processing payments”. You may not, however, be told how to do each of these things.

3. DIY (Do-It-Yourself) –

You’re on your own with the information. If you don’t understand a part of it, you can usually submit questions, but there’s not a “go to” resource for figuring out part of the process. Many e-course designers or marketers are more than happy to help…to a degree…but don’t have mechanisms built in for very involved technical help. At times, you may even be referred to alternative courses designed to help you complete these steps. Who wants to spend even more money when the course was supposed to be step by step?

4. Task Volume –

There’s just A LOT to do when starting an e-business from scratch. How do you prioritize?

5. Ambiguous Expectations –

There are so many variables involved…it’s hard to know how or when to expect any income. Let’s face it…we’re not doing this for our health. When will you get paid? How do you plan for income from something so new to you?
