Just the other day I was visiting a well known online marketing forums and I found myself reading one post after another from people struggling to create a successful website.

You know there has to be some fundamental underlying reasons why so many people just don’t “get it” and just fail.

The fact of the matter is most people who go online to make money never even make a single penny, and those that do usually end up making less than $100 a year. (I should know because several years back I was one of them, until I discovered where I was going wrong.)

I’m hoping that what I’m about to reveal will set the record straight and keep you from making the same mistakes I made.

Let’s take a look at the possible reasons for online business failure…

No product to sell or promote?
That can’t be it… there are thousands of products and services available on the internet for people to affiliate with and promote. For example I run a Big Selling Affiliate program that shows you what you need to do and gives you products to promote and make money from.

There’s a ton of software, e-books and programs available to teach you how to promote products and services.

In some cases all you have to do is implement the steps you’re shown, send traffic to their website and you’re ready to start making money.

Lack of knowledge?
That can’t be it, there is so many e-books and programs available on the internet that tell you anything you want to know and how to do it, that you get too much information.

Even for a beginner, there are programs that show you how to copy exactly what someone else has done and sell their product without learning anything. Why not become a Big Selling Intern and I’ll show you exactly step-by-step what you need to do, this is a perfect example of how anyone can get started for free.

The Internet doesn’t really work?
Wrong again, the internet is growing at a fantastical rate and is predicted to continue this growth for many years in the future.

The rules, laws and operating procedures for running an online business have been tightened up recently in some countries and could possibly even tighten-up more, but this will not stop the growth of the internet for many years to come if at all.

So, have you figured it out yet?

So what’s the answer?

There are 2 things you can do…

1. Increase your conversions
2. Increase your traffic

But which do you think is easier and will bring you the quickest possible results?

If you think it’s traffic you’d be dead wrong because the answer is in fact conversions!

Improving your website conversion is the key because all it can take is one small tweak and you can boost your sales almost overnight - but get this…. with the same amount of traffic.

So what areas should you focus boosting conversions on?

Here’s a short list to get you started…

1. The conversion of your traffic from your squeeze page to your sales page

2. The conversion of your sales page into your upsell offer

3. The conversion of the upsell offer to your thank you page.

Here’s where it gets really interesting because when you focus on making improvements to the conversion of your squeeze page (where your traffic arrives) you automatically see massive improvements in sales.

Why’s this? simply because more people make it from your squeeze page to your sales page. The more people make it to your sales page the more people will ultimately buy from you, and so on through your website.

This is the “exact” thing that I did (and continue to do) with my own products. Focus on improving the conversions of your squeeze page (or optin page) first then work on making improvements in the other areas.

I’m sure by now you can see exactly why you should be doing this.

Recently I created a website to help you increase your conversions… I think you’ll find very interesting because it’s a classic example of everything I teach.

There’s also free report on conversions waiting for you to pick up there, so if you’d like to boost your conversions overnight by making a few small changes to your website then this is just for you…

If you don’t know how to get started improving your conversions create a Google account for yourself then activate Google Analytics and the Google Website Optimizer.

These tools will show you just how well your website is converting now and from this you’ll be able to measure the effects of any changes you make.

It’s all about testing, tracking and letting the numbers point the way to what “really” make you money online.
