I have found that in this present economy one needs to focus on a system, and impliment each step consistently. Especially for online success. The steps are simple!
1. Create or purchase a splash page offering something FREE to build your list!
2. Be sure that you have an auto responder system to collect subscribers emails, and automatically follow up on the subscriber leads.
3. Purchase a web site or sign up to an affiliate program to provide products and or services.
4. Promote your splash page in every way you know, and can learn to do.
Follow these steps consistently and you will succeed. Be sure to have multiple streams of income! Last, just do it!!
