Procrastination is the biggie. It’s the one that kills most people.
You can read all the motivational books in the world but trying to put into action what they tell you is another thing altogether.

But to say, “Just do something” is the best piece of advice you can get.
Move, take some sort of action, anything and do it daily. It’s like any habit. It takes time to become established.

These are some common mistakes. I think many people forget about the “too good to be true” idea and still fall for scams… and procrastination also screws many people over (I procrastinate all the time and it only leads to negative results). If one can miss these 4 traps, then they should do pretty well.

Agreed. A lot of shady marketers play on people’s emotions and manipulate them to buy things that are really too good to be true. There’s a line between good marketing and scams.. and it’s best to train yourself to know the difference.

Totally agree with that. There’s so much information out there and it’s easy to get sucked into research mode for longer than you should. Get started and learn through trial and error. It’s the best way to see real results.

It’s true… a lot of the CPA offers on affiliate networks are for shaky business opportunities or dieting scams. I don’t like playing in that area for that very reason.

People sell advertising to those sites because well… it makes a ton of money. There’s no denying that. People always want the easy way out so they’ll continue to fall for the scams.

Agreed. Easy to fall prey to the info overload problem. Build a base of knowledge, then dive in and learn by doing!

There are so many “Make $5000 part-time no experience needed” scams out there. People who are desperately in need of cash to survive would most likely fall for those. No matter what the economy looks like, networking with other people in similar niche helps a lot for support.

Good post… I especially like the part about procrastination. Procrastination is a killer in so many start up businesses, as well as functioning businesses.
