"The 10 (woefully common) mistakes killing your Internet business and what to do about them."

Here's an excerpt from my latest ebook, titled, " The 10 (woefully common) mistakes killing your Internet business and what to do about them."

Woefully Common Mistake #1: Lack Of A Domain

Do you own a domain right this minute? Most readers will acknowledge that no, they don't. And you? If you're like most people striving for Internet profits you are trying to do so with an affiliate site. An affiliate site is provided by a network marketing or other business opportunity company. They ordinarily give you this site, which is a copy of their own.

To the uninitiated this seems like a good deal. Wow! A site all your own, a duplicate of the company's,with no technical or design work to be done... and all for FREE! Splendid, right?
Absolutely not!

For openers, this affiliate site doesn't belong to you. The company giveth; the company taketh away. It's a copy... and if anything happens to the company you lose your site and all the hard work and moneyyou have put into promoting it.

More, you will NEVER be able to add new products and services to your site. It will always be what it isfrom the beginning: a company site promoting solely the company's products. As I will make even clearerwhen I discuss the need for site diversification below, you cannot succeed online merely selling onecompany's products/services. You must diversify... but an affiliate website doesn't enable you to do that.

It gets even worse. The key to online success is capturing vital follow-up information from EVERY oneof your site visitors, without exception. An affiliate site does not permit you to do this. Say a person comes to your site who either doesn't buy anything or sign up for a newsletter or for further information. You've lost this prospect, probably forever. Ouch. That really does hurt, since prospect information is crucial for building the relationship which in due course produces profit.

Do you begin to see why affiliate sites, which seem so good, are really a trap which make it virtually impossible to make any money... much less a good, continuing income?

And, like I said, if anything happens to the company and it goes out of business (as so many opportunities have) you lose EVERYTHING; nothing remains of your affiliate site but a bitter memory of how you invested... and lost!

This is why you need your own domain. When you have a domain, you own an infinitely expandable property. It is yours, all yours, and must be treated accordingly.

There is not a money-making entity online, be it corporation, company or individual, which doesn't have a domain. It's easy to see why. People who are domain owners thrill at their chance to build a successful worldwide business utterly without limit in size or number of offerings. The very fact of 'net ownership spurs them to think big... and bigger still! The seeds of great companies and great wealth are implicitin every domain... and entirely lacking in every affiliate site.

So, let's be clear. To succeed online, you MUST do what EVERY successful Internet entrepreneur has done: you must get a domain. If you are unwilling to do so, EVERY chance of Internet success evaporates and you are finished online, no matter how much time and money you spend.

Get that domain today... for he who hesitates is truly lost.
