Q:Why do 90% Internet businesses fail, and how does one avoid repeating the same mistakes that others have made in the past?

The main reasons why most Internet business fail include:

They fail to create a USP (unique selling point) for their products or services, i.e. how their products or services are different from their competitors' websites, which are just one click away. They should be able to answer this question: Why should I buy from your website, instead of from your competitors' websites.

A USP can be in terms of personalization, better quality, cheapest (or most expensive), guarantee, unique design etc. The USP of eOneNet is "Making you No.1 on the Net" . As the top Internet marketing company in Asia with our 7 years of proven track record of selling million dollars of products and services and our hundreds of top rankings in search engines, we can help our customers to be No.1 online in their respective industries.

They fail allocate resources and budget to do Internet marketing or learn to do so. Most of them invested most of their capital in development of their websites and the products, leaving little or no budget for internet marketing. No matter how good the USP of their products have, or how beautiful their websites are, if there is no traffic, there is no sales. They should plan for cost effective Internet marketing strategies to drive targeted traffic to their websites and allocate a budget for implementing this. If they do not have any budget for this, their failure rate would be very high. Alternatively, if they wish to lower the costs of planning and executing the Internet marketing strategies, they will need to learn how to do this.

To help small businesses to deal with this, we have introduced Internet marketing coaching program in Malaysia in 2003 to coach them how to do Internet marketing cost effectively.

Q:What is Internet marketing (or e-marketing) and why is it so important?
