Why Your Website is Failing Every Day...

Hello faithful reader!

Today's post is based on something that comes to attention just about every single day. Some people who know me personally may be offended...but it's tough love.

I talk to several people daily. All with different types of conversations...most business related. I get asked to review products, review websites, blogs, promotions, etc. Most of these people are new to the idea of using the internet to market and promote their product/service.

But all in all...nine out of ten people I come in contact with are not seeing any income from their efforts. And the main reason that I see is this...

Website blunders. Point blank. But it might not be your fault...

I realize that we are only human, and some of us are not computer-savvy. That's understandable. But when it comes to your bread and butter, your website, wouldn't you think you would want to put in a little more time and effort into it?

I mean, your website is what you want to bring you the moolah, right? Well, we gotta treat it like an art sculpture, and make it appealing even to the naked eye so that people can see it. Look at your own website if you will. There are subtle changes you can do to your website that can change it's overall appearance and possibly bring you more sales, commissions, leads, whatever.

Sometimes, it's not the actual sales letter on your site. It can be organized the right way, and still there can be little blunders on your site that you aren't aware of, that are actually killing your business...sad to say, but it's the truth.


Recently, I took a look at some of my old websites that have failed for me. I got about 12 of them, sadly :)

There were little things that I realized a year or two later, that made me go WOW. Now that I know what I know now about your site's appearance...I look at my previous work and think about fixing them up, and re-releasing them again.


But, like I said before...you might not be computer-savvy to actually touch up your own site. And like I said, it's understandable. But if I could show you how easy it is to do, regardless of your own situation...would you do it? Seriously...would you take action and actually do it?

By now, you should be saying YES, since you probably want to start actually making some money from your website. If not, then what can I say? You must be happy with what your website is producing, and for what it's worth...
congratulations. We should JV sometime.

But, if you seriously want to make your website more income-producing...then take 5...no, TWO minutes to check out this site I saw last night before I went to bed.

Top Website Blunders - Can You Avoid Them?

In all sincerity, I hope it helps you out and allows you to SEE why your site isn't producing the results you hoped, wished and begged for.


Until next time,
