8.Sponsor other people's contests. Jenna Glatzer gives away products like her paid newsletter, Absolute Markets Premium Newsletter, to writers' groups, contests, and conferences that request it, regardless of size. I've tried this too, to good effect. Simply run an announcement in your ezine that you'd be happy to sponsor comparable events. Ask them to provide a URL for an event description so you know it's legit. Then offer up your gifts, and ask for a plug for your ezine and for them to talk up your dazzling freebie, as well. Jenna notes that groups she sponsors "often send out ads for us to their lists … just as a thank you."

9.Run quality content. There's no substitute for heartfelt writing plus solid information about a subject that matters. Jenna writes: 'The main reason our list stays so big is our 'letter from editor' … Each week, I chronicle my writing life and my triumphs and failures … when an article is killed, when I'm having trouble finishing a book … And I share personal things, too, like when my grandfather died…. People write: ' I feel like I know you so well.' And I think that's why they stay on list, even when their mailbox fills up with dozens of other writer's newsletters.

10.Allow reprints. Allow any newsletter that wants to reprint your articles do so. I like to have an email requesting permission, so I can enter their info into a big database I use to track where I can send more articles in future. I end each article with line: You may reprint this article in your own ezine or website. Simply send an email requesting permission to EMAIL ADDRESS. Please be sure to include our full bio box at end.

11.Create a survey or contest. This would be one of those newsworthy 'ezine events' I mentioned above in point # 6. Make it a fun, relevant question that you could really develop a good, newsy story from. I did a survey asking people what they fought with their spouse/partner/boy or girlfriend about. The results made for kind of reading offline media enjoy running short, 100-word pieces about (fillers.) I made sure to attribute survey to my ezine, The Joy Letter, with a mention of site's basic URL. You can get technology to run your own survey and collect responses at surveymonkey.com (for a fee) or bravenet.com (for free.)

I think I could actually go on and on here. The possibilities seem to be endless. If you try even half of these techniques on a regular basis, you'll find your subscriber rates double and even triple. Here's to building your list … foundation that much of your traffic and success rely on.

Most successful people fail before they saw their success materialize. Thomas Edison failed almost a thousand times before he invented light bulb. Michael Jordan didn't make Varsity basketball team for his high school. Donald Trump lost money on his first business deal.

But, their determination delivered them their success.

PERSEVERANCE

At first it sounds a lot like determination. But, there is a difference.

Perseverance keeps going once determination gives up. Yes, you can be determined to succeed with your business, but what happens when after a few unsuccessful advertising campaigns you're still not making any money?

By seeing through hardship of moment and "seeing" outcome materialize in your mind you're programming yourself to persevere no matter costs.

Determination itself is not complete. It needs a helper in perseverance.

UNDERSTANDING

Why do so many people fail at Internet Marketing? Besides top four qualities above, there is one more quality that is missing among top money makers in business.

And I think most important.

You simply need to understand business of Internet Marketing. Because when you think that it's not working, in form of huge checks after just a few short months, you're not catching on to fact that it is working.

Internet Marketing does not operate like any other business.

It's not like a brick and mortar business in "real" world. Although similarities are there. Internet Marketing is about building trust and relationships and Residual Income that works for you.

It's 'network' that makes you successful.

Understanding that means that you take these five qualities and instill them into your business.

Here's a quick example.

Let's say you start a website for an affiliate program that sells an ebook. You do some advertising and make a few sales. You might possibly break even.

Sounds easy. So now you're on fire to succeed. But, Internet changes, advertising strategies change, your product is outdated. Maybe you only make very minimal sales during next few months.

The problem isn't that you can't succeed, but that your understanding of way Internet is changing isn't growing beyond initial stages. It's your job to bring your 'business' along with changes.

Understanding how Internet operates will help you have a passion, be disciplined, be determined, and help you persevere.

Take these five qualities and build a strong Internet Marketing business... you can do it.
