And those questions led to THESE questions:

- Why do I feel so driven to get so much done in one day? - How much time each day do I want to devote to marketing? - What am I trying to accomplish each day (in Net marketing)? - Do I really need to get up at 4 a.m.?

And FINALLY:

- Has Internet marketing gone from a passion to an OBSESSION? - Am I still having fun? - Do I really need to get up at 4 a.m.?

I suspect these are questions we ask ourselves frequently. I think we ask these questions when we are tired, burnt-out and frustrated…those times when we feel like failures and think we're never going to "get it."

I know that's how I felt that evening.

I was able to answer some of questions. Some I still need to think about. In particular, trying to understand where that thin line between a passion and an obsession is.

I think we HAVE to step away from computer every once in a while. We NEED to ask ourselves these questions and explore answers we come up with. And here are perhaps two most important questions of all:

- Am I ignoring special people who enhance my life? - Am I forgetting that I only have today?

"It is not length of life, but depth of life." Emerson

P.S. I threw my alarm clock in garbage.

-Must bring them (back) to your website.

Sometimes you have to hold your prospective visitors by hand and drag them to your website. A great tool to help with this is called an autoresponder. The better ones are time delayed and handle multiple messages.

Instead of sending recipient information or ads with each message, invite them to come (or come back) to your site to receive a freebie. Don't use same freebie in each message as this message will get thrown away or opted-out. Offer something unique pertaining to your website once a week.

If you offer same thing everyone else does, tendency will be to ignore your message. Do you offer your own software, ebooks, or samples of your product? Maybe a discount coupon?

The objective is to get visitors to your website. This method not only works in autoresponders, but in your opt-in list and ezine as well and is not limited to them.

Thinking outside box and being innovative will bring surprise results (though not always good ones). To be cutting edge, new ways have to be discovered, but don't lose your basics.

The end result you want to achieve is getting visitors and changing your visitors into customers. No matter how you get visitors to your site, you must have a quality product and/or fantastic customer service.

The ideas given here are a drop in bucket of imaginative resources. If you can master these two "Must's", you're on your way to becoming internet marketing virtuoso. Read, study, invent.
