Here’s Why You Don’t Have a Successful Online Business

I’ve got a question for you.

Please raise your hand if you sincerely wish to have a successful online business.

Now keep your hand up if you have achieved this goal.

Odds are most of the hands just went down.

Why is that?

It’s not for a lack of quality material. Whether you have read my books or acquired material from other sources, you are probably pretty clear on the “how” to make money on the internet.

But something is blocking you from making progress.

In my experience with people, there are a handful of reasons this happens.

1) You don’t know where to start. You are experiencing information overload and just the most basic of tasks is intimidating. If this is you, you don’t even have a website set up yet.

2) You don’t know what to do next. Maybe you’ve got a website, but you have moved into content creation of monetization of your site. After all, there are so many options!

3) You don’t know how to generate traffic to your site. This is a big one. Many aspiring entrepreneurs get to this stage and throw in the towel. Do I pay for traffic? Do I use social media? Do I syndicate articles? How DO I get recognized?!

Last week, a room full of people just like you visited my offices in Northern Colorado for a three day workshop. Their goal? To overcome the objections and obstacles that have been blocking them from getting started with their online business.

Our goal? To make sure every single person left with the following:

– a defined niche and business model

– a fully-functional content-based website they could build upon

– original content to give the site direction

– monetization strategies in place, such as AdSense, Kontera and Chitika

– Social media presences established via Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn

– affiliate program monetization with ability to promote thousands of products

– publicity strategies to connect with the media and become the expert

– and more!

For three days, I and my team worked directly with all our attendees to meet and exceed the goals we put in place.

And all I can say is…

Mission Accomplished!

The first Joel Comm Workshop was a huge success. I’ll be posting videos and photos on the site shortly.

But for now there are two things I want you to know…

1) All members of my team contributed greatly to the success of this workshop, but I am exceptionally proud of Dan Nickerson, our VP of Ideas. Dan has such an incredible knack for making complex things simple that our attendees could not get enough of him. He answered question after question and ended up not only being our VP, but our MVP.

Dan recently put together an online bootcamp that is ideal for people who are new to the internet business.

And, he has created a video that tells you the BIGGEST 10 MISTAKES that people make when starting an online business. You seriously need to go watch this right away:

Top Ten Newbie Mistakes Marketers Make

2) I am pleased to announce the second Joel Comm Workshop which will take place in Northern Colorado June 16- 18, 2010.

We are now taking applications for this workshop and are looking for the right fit in attendees.

What is the right fit?

– You have spent a lot of money on courses or “instant websites” and are frustrated. You just want to get this thing started and have some real direction. (One of our attendees spent over $10,000 on a website with a different firm. She has little to nothing to show for it.)

– You are serious about your success. You are serious about your success. And, you are serious about your success. (I think you get my point. This is not dabbling. This is the real deal.)

– Or perhaps you haven’t made the big mistakes and just want to get off on the right foot. We can help you.

You can NOT buy a seat for this workshop online. You MUST apply and we will contact you to determine if you are a good fit. We’re looking for an entrepreneurial flair and a commitment to succeed.

Are you ready to get more info or to apply for a seat? Space IS limited!

So why don’t people succeed online?

Maybe you need to ask yourself a few questions, watch Dan’s video, and determine if you have the commitment to join me and my team for three life-changing days in Colorado.

There are millions of people who want to have an online business. Only a small minority ever break through the barrier of creating their site. Apply to attend my workshop and be part of the successful minority that doesn’t just dream about it… they do it!
