Written by Jim Daniels


Continued from page 1

The first component you MUST have at your site in order for those (or any) efforts to pay of is...

Item number 4 from above. An opt-in email list building strategy!

If no. 4 was one of your guesses, you are right on! Growing your potential client base should always be a priority in ANY business. The best way to do this onrepparttar web is to grow your own opt-in email list(s). Ask for your website visitors name and email address and give them something of value in return. It is as simple as that. Then treatrepparttar 121841 growing list like gold.

So that leaves us withrepparttar 121842 other correct answer. Number five, sharing your web content with others. The most effective way I've found to do this, is to write about your area of expertise and pre-licenserepparttar 121843 content to other editors and webmasters in your type of business. This strategy is sometimes called "submitting articles", but it doesn't even have to be articles that you share. You can write tips, lessons, hints, secrets, or anything that would help a particular group of people.

Then, not only should you pre-licenserepparttar 121844 material as I've done at www.bizweb2000.com/articles.htm - but you should also submitrepparttar 121845 content regularly. That is as simple as emailing your fresh work to webmasters and ezine editors who publish related material. After four years online, this is still my cheapest promotion method (100% free) and by far my longest lasting.

I can say without reserve thatrepparttar 121846 two strategies above are THE premium ways to GO LONG with your Internet marketing. How can I make such a bold statement?

Simple. Here's proof of each:

Last week I was contacted by a subscriber that had been on my subscriber list for, get this... four years! She had finally decided to start her own business and wanted help from someone with a track record of getting results. As one of my original subscribers I naturally offered her a deep discount on my services.

Example two: When I started using my article writing and pre-licensing strategy back in early 1997, I used an address called sub@jdd-publishing.com for new subscribers to receive my gazette. I used that address for only a short time until my website was complete. Now, over three years later, I still get new subscribe requests to that old address every week. My content from three years ago is still being read. How's that for going long with web marketing!

So in closing, I'd like you to considerrepparttar 121847 Internet marketing strategies you are using right now. How many of them could be considered "going long". After all, if you plan to retire or even work less some day, you'll have to invest inrepparttar 121848 future of your website now. And believe me, it's nice to seerepparttar 121849 website traffic continue to come in on a regular basis, even when you don't!

So how would you reply to that question if you were asked today?

Inquiry #2: Which affiliate programs work best for you?

Here's one you'll undoubtedly see a lot. Wise marketers know that in order to make money as an affiliate they need to first joinrepparttar right programs. Why not go right torepparttar 121840 folks who see it all? That's right, ezine publishers.

And this question can present a great opportunity for ANY marketer. Why not set up a web page at your site that sharesrepparttar 121841 results you are achieving withrepparttar 121842 affiliate programs you've joined. Not only is this a great way to help fellow marketers, it can help you as well. If there is a 2nd tier to any ofrepparttar 121843 affiliate programs you're in, you can offer to help these folks if they join under you.

Contrary to popular belief, signing up other resellers into two-tier programs CAN be profitable. How do I know?

One program I promote has reached $1000 a month onrepparttar 121844 second tier alone. And it's all because I've done exactly what I described above. You just can't beat automatic income like this. Once you've broughtrepparttar 121845 2nd tier affiliates in and showed them how to work it,repparttar 121846 money you earn is effortless. And all they did was ask you what programs are working for you.

But how would you reply to that question if you were asked today?

Inquiry #3: Who do you use for web hosting?

This is another question you'll see quite often, and it'srepparttar 121847 simplest one to answer. But rather than just tell them who you use, why not sign up as a reseller forrepparttar 121848 web hosting company first. Then you'll be able to send folks to your reseller page and start growing a residual income.

If your web host does not offer a reseller program, work out a deal with them. Most will be receptive to paying a percentage to you as a referral fee. Just be sure to work out a deal where you earn a monthly residual and NOT a one-time referral commission like some hosts pay. There's much more money in monthly commissions and every time you refer a new customer your own income will grow.

For those of you who think this may not be worthrepparttar 121849 effort, think again. I've managed to grow monthly residuals from one major web hosting company torepparttar 121850 tune of $4,000 a month. Now that's not bad for simply answering that question each time it comes along.

How would you reply to that question if you were asked today?

In closing...

All online marketers can and should take a lesson from ezine publishers. After all, if your website is set up effectively, you'll be receiving an ever-growing number of inquiries from your site too. And exactly how you handle them can make or breakrepparttar 121851 future of your business.

Take a look atrepparttar 121852 questions you've received so far. If you're just getting started, consider what questions your visitors MIGHT ask. Then think about how you will answer them. If you can plug an income stream into your answer, why no do it? After all, you'd be helping your visitors by offering an answer AND a solution. And that's a great way to grow long-term profits at ANY site.
