Let’s be honest…
The dream of making money online is everywhere. Social media is flooded with screenshots of “overnight” successes, and ads promise that you can quit your job in 30 days.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth: the majority of people who start in online or digital marketing never make a consistent income.
Why?
It’s usually not because they’re lazy or “just not cut out for it.”
It’s because they fall into one (or more) of these traps:
-
Shiny Object Syndrome – Jumping from one idea or platform to another before giving anything the time it needs to work.
-
No Real Strategy – Posting random content or running ads without a clear plan, hoping something will “just work.”
-
Copying Without Understanding – Trying to mimic what others are doing without understanding why it works.
-
Lack of Consistent Action – Treating it like a hobby instead of a business.
-
Ignoring the Numbers – Never tracking what’s actually working, so they keep repeating mistakes.
The good news?
Once you understand why people fail, you can avoid those same mistakes and put yourself in the small percentage who do succeed.
I came across a short video that explains these reasons in a simple, eye-opening way — and more importantly, how to sidestep them.
If you’ve been frustrated with your results (or you’re just starting out and want to get it right the first time), you’ll want to watch it.
