1. Not Having A Defined Target Audience:

An entrepreneur cannot market your business to the audience using the same strategy. By using the same strategy for everyone will bring you a slight increase in website traffic. This won’t be beneficial for a long time as many of the website’s visitors won’t convert into actual customers. In order to get most of your campaign, make sure it is targeted to a particular audience. In order to make your campaign effective, you should divide your total audience into smaller audiences. If your business provides ‘universal’ products or services to the market, then you should segregate your selected audience into small groups and create a customized promotion campaign for individual groups. This will also help you in calculating the results.

2. Ignoring the Legal Aspects

An entrepreneur should take care of his legal documents which are required for his daily business operations. The entrepreneur may start his business as proprietorship but as and when business flourishes, he may proceed with private limited company registration. He should keep himself updated with latest regulations governing his business. An entrepreneur should take decisions after detail analysis of the situations. Sometimes, an entrepreneur may take decisions in a haste which ultimately will affect the business in future.     

3.Having A Slow Website:

However, your website won’t rank high with search engines, it takes a longer time to load.  Loading speed of your website is also one of the most important ranking factors in the search engine.
