Author: If you live by the philosophy that what ever you do today you will harvest tomorrow, you are a very intelligent person. Then you also know that what ever you do this week, you will reap next week, and if we bring it up one step: What ever you do in 2010 you will reap for years to come. This couldn’t be more true for your affiliate marketing business or what ever internet marketing you do, or in any other area in your live for that matter. 
In our first year in this business we worked our tails of without to many results (as we could see then), and we used a lot of time and money on education that all said we would succeed quick like: ” make $ 30 000 in your first 30-60 days bla bla bla”. And we all know this is BS for the majority of the people. There are a lot of affiliate marketers that makes these amounts and more each month, but in their first two mounts ever in this business? Don’t think so.
How ever, a lot the education we attended back in our first year are paying off big time now, and the reason is one major factor: TIME AND CONSISTENT WORK! As a matter of fact we are getting a lot of traffic from things we did in our first year in business, and makes a lot of money from it. But we didn’t see a dime in our account back then. The reason is simple: It takes a long time for your work to be indexed by the search engines, it takes time for your blog to get a decent page rank from Google even if you follow our guidelines in our free e-book : “The Blog Set Up Check List 2.0″. It takes time before your “killer articles” get a lot of traffic form the different article directories you submit them to etc. So if you like to be successful in your affiliate marketing/internet marketing business and you don’t have a lot of money to invest in your business but time. Follow these steps for a least 12 months:
1. Set up your blog. This will in time be the “nerve center” in your business for years to come if you follow the steps in our free e-book.
2. Post regularly on your blog, three times a week is a good start. When you reach 100 posts you will see traffic you never thought possible.
3. Submit one article a week to “top ten article directories”. Submit your original content here, however one article can become 10-20 or more bye using jetspinner.
4. Set up a blogger blog with two keywords linking back to your “nerve center”, this will simply give you more quality back-links to your main blog (e.g http://freetrafficfromgoogle.blogspot.com)
5. To get some fast traffic, sign up at relevant forums with more than 5000 members and post there 2-3 hours a week without SPAMMING, just leave your link in your signature field (just use forums that allows links in the signature fields) This is another great way to get quality back-links.
6. When you start to get traffic, and see what works and don’t start escalate with PPC campaigns.
And remember always: What ever you do today, you will harvest tomorrow. What ever you do this week, you will reap next week. What ever you in 2010, you will reap for YEARS to come.

What is all this talk about leads? More importantly, how do I get them? Even more importantly, how do I generate free leads? You guessed it, this article is about leads, lead generation and of course, free leads for your business.
“The money is in the list.” How many times have you heard that? To tell you the truth when I was fairly new to network marketing I grew sick and tired of hearing that. Partly because I had no idea how to generate leads and even more so, I had no idea why they were so important. So let’s start with that. Why are leads so important? Read the rest of this entry »
Most websites are ineffective at capturing leads because they are little more than a corporate brochure divided into web pages. Each page talks about the company and its products and services, but does little to address prospects’ problems and concerns. If you want to make your website more effective at capturing leads, use these four steps.
Capture Prospects’ Attention
*When prospects visit your website, they are usually searching for information on how to solve a particular problem. This is especially true of search engine traffic. If you want to keep them on your site, you must provide the information they are searching for. A good way to do this is to provide great website content such as articles, audio, video, past newsletters, or an interesting blog. If you don’t capture your prospect’s attention in the first
few seconds, they will click the back button.
*Good websites focus on prospects and include plenty of informative content educating and explaining different problems your prospects have and offering advice, new perspectives, or
potential solutions. They use web copy that speaks to the problems and concerns of visitors. Put yourself in the minds of your prospects – what are their biggest concerns, problems and obstacles? What might be motivating them to solve those problems? What keywords might prospects type into Google to find a solution similar to what you offer?
Hi, this is a bit long post but when you as an internet marketer starts to build your list, this topic is of critical importance.
As an online business owner you know how important it is to build your list in order to have a ready pool of clients, potential clients, and customers who are interested in your business and your services/programs. But as a list owner you also have a responsibility to those people on your list to treat them well and build a relationship with them – it’s known as creating the like, know, and trust factor – and is crucial for sustaining a long-term business.
People will only work with those people who they like, know, and trust. So, once you have started to get people onto your list, the next step is to build your relationship them and develop the like, know, and trust factor. Let me share with you my top 7 ways to do just that:
Publish when you say you will
It’s so important that you do exactly what you say you will when you say you will. The number one way list owners sabotage their own list-building efforts is by not publishing either when they said they will, or by not publishing on a regular basis. I recently had a phone call with one of my clients who hadn’t published her ezine on a regular
basis over the past few months and she commented to me that she had seen a substantial decline in the click-thru open rates of her newsletter. This is just one of the side effects of not publishing on a regular basis – your audience will forget about you and are not eager to open your emails when they land in their inbox.
