In response, he wrote:

- He could change email account when he found a better option, but that he didn't see that as an immediate problem. - That most of marketing for this program was done offline. The website was for people outside of Australia. That within Australia, more details were given. (Then why market outside of country if you're not going to give people complete details?) - That there were testimonials on Members Only Discussion Board (They've already bought program. Why do THEY need testimonials?) - Regarding lack of a guarantee.he said (and I quote), "No network marketing company EVER gives one of these." (I beg your pardon?)

And this person wants to set up "shop" online and have it generating money 24/7, without his direct involvement?

I came away from this experience thinking that he may have wanted advice but he wasn't willing to listen. I also thought he wasn't willing to invest even a small amount of money in order to earn money...nothing for nothing. He was just looking for a sure-fire answer to quick money.

The latter is a feeling I often have with people who write me. Success is not given...Success is EARNED. If you don't have much money, then you'll have to spend your time. If you do have some money, then you can spend less time. But you'll see better results if you invest both time and money. I'm not saying don't use free resources to advertise. Just be realistic; it may take you longer to reach your goals going that route.

When I started out in Internet marketing, I put aside a set amount of money for advertising. It wasn't much; just what I felt I could afford at time. I learned and continue to learn as much as I can about marketing. As long as I'm in online promotion, I will be a student.

At this point, I take some of profits I make each month and reinvest it into more advertising. My ad tracking tells me what is working and what's a waste of time and money. It's been a slow build, but every month it gets better and better.

We will get out of Internet marketing exactly what we put into it; there is no "free ride." If you think there is, then you will get...Nothing For Nothing.

Next, build on your list by joining discussion or mailing list groups that are already established. These are communities that already exist and discuss topics of interest by email.

Internet discussion groups may be mailing lists, newsgroups, message boards, chat rooms or IRC type chat channels, to name just a few possibilities.

Seek out moderated type lists as they are loaded with your Niche people. And, what you do on these groups is quite simple; you participate.

You do NOT try to place ads as that is SPAM.

However, virtually all such groups do allow those that participate to include a 2 to 4 line signature. Some groups even allow larger signatures.

NEVER underestimate power of your signature.

During a one-week period, my signature was ONLY form of promotion I used and in just five days we got over 1000 visitors to our unadvertised web site.

Remember, it is essential to begin your own mailing list of people that AGREE to receive your email.

Perhaps once a week, with a word of interest, you send out a mailing with info directly related to your common interest.

It is important to keep lines of communication open with your community of people.

But do NOT just send out ad upon ad. No one likes to be bombarded with ads from others.

Send out information that will be informative and of interest.

This gives you a basic "Blue Print" to follow to either begin to establish yourself on Internet or expand on whatever you have already accomplished.

The basic resources outlined above will give you a strong foundation to discover WHERE to reach that special niche or target audience of yours.
