I think alot of noobs dont make much because their costs are too high while sales are building. But can you increase sales without spending a fair amount on marketing, content, hosting and so on?
I dont see alot of evidence of people cost cutting. The fact that people use higher % processors suggests to me that maybe cost isnt a big enough issue. Also i have never once had an email from a company offering to reduce my overheads, but in a mainstream business i used to run, i got them all the time. I would have expected the major processors to compete on cost for my business, but they simply dont bother, because it seems that they know that they dont have to.
Ive spent alot of time reducing costs and the net result is that im keeping more of my sales revenue than i was before, which is vital if im going to one day quit the day job!
Any thoughts?
