Having an ineffective web site that does not turn visitors into sales. Putting all your eggs in one basket. Trying one technique and thinking it will make you a fortune. You need to diversify your marketing efforts into different promotions to see which ones pull the most net profit, and then concentrate on those. That is the manner in which you interest the client into coming to your site, then lead him into a good rapport with yourself, and then, and only then - asking for the order.
Most people break the link at some point and lose the sale.
For example, indiscriminately spamming, rather than ethically using bulk opt-in email, and they don't make a single cent. Then there are other stories of online success with MLM, people spend months using the wrong techniques and then end up not making a penny. The list just goes on and on.
