Why do Most Websites Fail to Make Money Online?

First of all, your website should be a project that compasses your company marketing team, business development / customer service and IT team. Before starting a website, you should list out its measurement of success. Just like launching any new product / business idea, you should do the following:-

• Market research – see what the market wants. Find the demand for the product idea that you want to sell, before you decide on designing a website or what products to sell online.
• Develop the website – develop the website with a .com name and the website should be multi-lingual with ability to accept orders online as well as receive payment via credit card (if doing retail) for business to consumer (B2C) business models. For easier maintenance, consider a database driven DIY site builder such as the www.MegaWebsiteBuilder.com
• The website should be monitored for its performance especially in its Conversion rate (how many visitors actually become real customers)?
• Get Top 10 Rankings in Search engines – search engines is the No.1 way for customers to locate products and services on the Internet. When they type in the keywords related to your products and services, is your website listed in the search engines? You should aim to list in the organic search results (left column) as those websites are normally considered by customers to be more credible compared to the pay per click advertisements (right column called sponsored links). SEO (search engine optimisation) is a key internet marketing strategy that can drive traffic / visitors to your website and increase your online sales.
• Search Engine Optimisation can be learnt even by beginners of Internet Business without any technical experience, such as the course at www.InternetMarketingCoaching.com
• Online Marketing – Apart from SEO, there are other internet marketing tactics such as blog marketing, email marketing, and social media marketing. A new tactic called Facebook Marketing is also on the rise, due to the popularity of Facebook.
