EP 35: 5 Reasons You Aren't Making Any Money Online

It can be SO frustrating to start a business, put in the work, and still not make any money.

 

I get it: it took me a few years of trying before I finally “broke through” and starting making money with my online business. I recently shared a video on my YouTube channel about how I took my blog and business from $0 to $100,000 in revenue in 12 months. But, in the video, I made it extremely clear that those 12 months were not the first twelve months in business.

 

In fact, I’d already invested a few years into trying to grow my business, trying to make money online, and, in all honesty, completely failing and essentially making $0.

 

So what changed between now and then?

 

It wasn’t that my hard work finally paid off, even though that’s a common story you hear among the small business world. Instead, I changed some key things in my business that led to that financial success.

 

Listen to the full episode to hear:

  • The 5 things I did wrong (and what I see people doing wrong all the time!) that can stop you from making any money in your online business
