Why am I not making sales online?

In the last few weeks I have noticed a word that you most likely using and without realizing it’s blocking your way to success.

Usually the word is hidden in a sentence like the following:

“I have seen how my friend is using the internet to make more sales, so I also want to try to see it’s going to work for me, so I’m just going to try and see what happens”

The word that kills your efforts is to TRY.

There are many issues with that sentence.

And to illustrate, I’d like to use an example.

I have very special memories of when I learned how to ride a bike and I also remember when my kids learned.

Learning to ride a bike is one of those magical things.

I’m sure fear varies depending on the age you learn to ride the bike.

But what is really incredible about learning to ride a bike is that we only learn how to do it once.

And once you acquire the skill it becomes something you do even without thinking about it.

However, it can be challenging when you don’t know how to do it.

Personally, I don’t know anyone who has tried to learn to ride a bike and then said, this is not for me, this is way too difficult or the bike goes too fast.

Because once you learn you can make adjustments and go as fast as you want and choose where you want to go.

Imagine if you will approach everything in life in the same way, with the certainty that regardless of the initial hardships or struggle, everything will work.

Online marketing is like learning to ride a bike, it’s a skill you learn that you can later use the rest of your life.

Let me show you what are some problems you think that online marketing is something you can just try once.

Why am I not making sales online (2 mistakes that are driving you to failure)

Mistake # 1: Everything in life has a cost

The first and possibly the most important problem is that everything in life has a cost, even when it’s not obvious and you do not see it.

What this means is that thinking that you don’t have anything to lose is not real.

I want you to consider some of the following costs:

• The cost of wasting time that you can never get back.
• The cost of stepping away from your goal because you are moving in the wrong direction.
• The cost of losing hope that online marketing is something you can do.
• The cost of not learning from mistakes.

And the worst cost of all is the cost of not solving the problem, which in this case is to sell more and attract more clients to your business.

Mistake # 2: Trying online marketing to see if it works.

The second problem is thinking that you can try online marketing to see if it works is the biggest trap.

There are certain decisions and things that we do in life, which we can’t simply try.

In our story, the person who is getting results and making more sales using the Internet, this person is not trying.

She is convinced that she needs to use the internet as a tool to grow her business, in the same way she would use a bike to go places.

Before continuing I have created an infographic that illustrates: Why am I not making sales online (2 mistakes that are driving you to failure).

 

In other words, to try is to fail.

When you use the word “try”, without realizing it, you are allowing your mind to have 2 options, success and failure and that is precisely what makes you lose the game.

When you decide to ride a bike, you do not do it to try, you do it with the intention that you will learn to ride it.

When you decide to get married, it’s not something that you do to see how it will go.

The same thing happens when you decide what to study in college.

We only get married or choose our college career when we are completely convinced that it is the right decision.

In conclusion:

Remember that to try is to fail, because you are letting doubt guide your decisions.

And the same applies to online marketing..

You need to have the conviction that it will work and you have to be 100% committed to yourself that you are going to do whatever it takes to make it work.

When you’re just trying something to see if it works, you are not going all in, you are not fully committed, you don’t have a plan of action, you usually improvise and just depend on common sense.

But I want you to realize that if it were only common sense what was needed, everyone would be successful and we know that it is not the case.

Eliminating the word “try” will allow you to conquer the doubt so you can always win.
