Hey Guys,

In the beginning there was the marketer. There are certain truths you come to understand the more time you spend making money online – or trying to.

Witness the evolution of marketing online. Whether you are new to the net game or an experienced pro, there is one thing you will have in common if you are moving towards entrepreneurial success.

As you read this article you will realize what you have in common with all the other million dollar earners online, and what you’re missing that can take you from where you are to where you want to be.

So let’s get started shall we?

I will begin with a bullet point list and short explanation of the marketing necessities you want to have:

For starters, most established markets will already be using this by default:

- A Domain: something specific to what you want to promote like (ex.www.mysite.com)

- Hosting: a place to put your site, if you’re planning on making money – find a paid solution so you look like a credible business and you cut back on high traffic crashes.

- A website: your image your presence and your marketing message, don’t get pulled into the trap I see everywhere of trying to put too many choices on your website. Maximize on the effectiveness by only giving one purpose to a page. For example if you want to build a list – focus all your efforts and copy on that singular focus, if you want your site to sell a product, then only put that focus on your site. You’ll also need a good editing program, and an ftp software to get this up and moving.

- A merchant account: If you have something to sell, people will need a way to pay you. There are a ton of great providers out there, but there are a specific few that give your visitors the security to pull out a credit card with assurance.

- An Autoresponder: This is a real necessity if you want a business and not just a hobby. When you have a family to support this is a real no brainer. This is your email follow up service. You get a name added to your list and this is where they go. You will use this to stay in touch and build relationships with your customers and soon-to-be customers.

- A helpdesk: in the beginning when your business and sales are small you can handle all the little questions and emails yourself. One of the things that will keep a small business is small is thinking “I can do that myself” if you want to truly grow; you need to share the workload (petty tasks) and focus on what you truly want to do creatively for your business.

- Membership Site software: once you’re addicted to the internet marketing lifestyle, you will realize this oh-so-simple fact, it’s great to make a sale, but it’s even better to make a sale once and get paid for it every month. Continuity is king.

- Teleconferencing software: If you want an easy way to create and crank out high ticket products, audios and a transcript is an easy to make, high-value product.

Of course everything we’ve touched on so far only scratches the surface, but these are the necessities that not only get you started but will make you above average. Keep your eyes peeled for more articles that will take you from beginner to winner.

We’ll cover resources that will help you stay organized and expand your business to make you truly prosperous such as:

-PDF creators and converters
- Mind mapping software
- Site tools to make your business a set and forget it – money magnet
- Internet video and audio creating software
- And the how-to’s of outsourcing

Keep learning, and most important: be persistent – it will be a quality you share with the biggest money makers online today…

If you are an internet entrepreneur, you may have heard a lot about list building. You may have done a lot of research into it and built a pretty good list as well. Sometimes, despite trying every trick in the book, following all instructions to the last letter, paying a hefty amount for an autoresponder service, and growing your list well, you cannot really make enough money. Then you start wondering if you are on the right track.

Perhaps, you understood the general principles of list building, but didn’t pay enough attention to the niche market. Your product or service may be your passion, but do others on your list consider it their passion as well. Say for example, how many people are in interested in alternative healing techniques? There may be a large number of them around the world, but you won’t know their number unless you know how many people are using their search engines to look for ‘alternative healing techniques’. It is as simple as that.

Let us assume that you did some research in your niche area and did your list building based on that research. You managed to build a pretty good list as well. It still does not earn you enough money. What do you do now? Now you need to build a rapport with the people on your list. Some of the ways to build this rapport are given here.

Be Generous

Generosity pays you back in the same coin. Give as much information as you can on your way to list building. Give as many free, useful products as you can. Pay attention to the quality of the stuff that you give. Help people improve their lives and their businesses. All this generosity will make them love you. To project yourself as an expert in your field, write some good articles. Get your articles published in article directories. Initiate some online forums. The discussion thread on this forum will give you an insight into your niche market. Let people ask questions to you. If you help people, they will trust you. Once this trust develops, they will go ahead and buy the products that you recommend.

Try Out Your Product First

Whatever you are trying to sell, be sure that you try it out on yourself first. If you claim that your product does ‘ABC’, then make sure that your claims are correct. Remember that you can’t fool people. Don’t even try. It is not worth the effort. You will lose your credibility and your list building efforts will come to a naught.

Befriend Other Marketers In Your Niche

Attend conventions. Meet people who are making money in your niche and learn from them. You can get great advice there. Follow it.
Even though you have not yet made any money by list building, the good news is that, if you give quality information and if you maintain your standard, moneymaking is just a matter of time.
