Last month we conducted a survey of our readers. The results have been interesting, to say the least.
We intentionally asked an open ended question to find out what our subscribers biggest problem was online. Here are the
results.
* Not Knowing What To Do
The largest response we received was "I just don't know what to do." Responses noted not knowing where to start, who to trust, what steps to take, how to get to the next level in their business.
* Not Getting Enough Traffic
This one was a close second behind the first-getting traffic to an existing website. Most of the responses simply said "I don't know how to get more traffic."
* Not Getting Enough Buyers from My Traffic
The third response focused on conversions-turning visitors into buyers. The specific responses varied from "people visit but no one buys" to "I need better sales copy on my site."
* Not having enough focus and motivation
This was a huge response as well-many of the respondents just felt they either didn't have enough focus on the things they needed to be doing or enough motivation to accomplish them.
These top 4 answers comprised over 50% of the responses.
The remaining significant responses were:
* Not having enough time
* How to Market/Advertise a site
* How to Locate Products
* How to Find a niche market
* Having enough start-up money
* How to Build a list
These 6 answers together represented an additional 36.5% of the total responses. The remaining 13% was made up of a variety of responses not related to the ten above.
