Beginning at the start

Good evening friends,

A friend of mine asked me yesterday whether or not Internet Marketing would
work for him. I told him yes, if he was willing to put in the time, work, energy,
and study. He looked at me as tho I had 3 heads. What he wanted to hear was
that he could get started for free, ( or little money ), have someone set-up his
web-site, automaticly create customers, and bank the money.
I have been at this for awhile now and have learnt that those who make it
have put in hours studying trends, marketing strategies, consumer behaviors, and the effect that certain words have on us.
The easiest way is for a person to become an affiliate of a proven program.
Here’s why: simply by promoting a unique affiliate link given by the merchant, you can start making cash online immediately without your own website and product, in fact it's probably the fastest and easiest way to start
But being an affiliate is not enough, the true vital element for long-term success (online or offline) is by building an opt-in list of interested prospects you can keep in regular contact with.
If you've heard the phrase, 'money is in your list', it's only half true. The real
money is in the relationship you've with your subscribers, no matter how big
or small your list is. It's fine to have a small list but it must be responsive if you want to profit from it.


To your success,
Bill Bowen
