These 2 Mistakes Are Killing Your Business (I Learned the Hard Way)
3 min readMar 18, 2025
Most online marketers make these two mistakes without even realizing it until it’s too late.
I know because I used to make them myself. And it cost me dearly.
Mistake 1: Targeting the Wrong People
For years, I thought the key to success was targeting people who needed my products.
- People who needed to get fit.
- People who needed to make more money.
- People who needed to eat better.
Sounds logical, right?
But here’s the problem: people who need something aren’t always motivated to take action.
They may hesitate, procrastinate, or look for the cheapest option.
Contrast that with people who want something.
- People who want to get fit will buy premium gym memberships, designer workout gear, and expensive supplements.
- People who want to make money will invest in books, courses, and coaching.
- People who want to eat better will pay extra for organic food and nutrition plans.
