business a fair chance to succeed before deciding to make any changes. Far too many people join a 'program', don't make any money in first three or six weeks and then search for next program. Remember this. You don't need a program. You are opening a business. And like any business it takes time to succeed. Another way to make time your ally is to use automation. Learn about things like autoresponders (programs that send out email while you sleep!), accepting credit cards online and more. In order to capitalize on 24/7 nature of Internet you will need to use automation to your advantage. 3. Find A Mentor We all need help from time to time. Why should you re-invent wheel when so much of work has been done for you? If you are involved in Network Marketing you should expect your upline to be a mentor to you. To be clear, when I say mentor I don't mean a best friend who drops by for coffee every Saturday morning. I do mean that you need someone to ask questions of, someone to run ideas past, and someone who will protect your best interests and work toward your success. 4. Avoid "Dead Sea Syndrome" What I call "Dead Sea Syndrome" is simply being a person who is always taking in but never giving out. To be sure, you will spend a great deal of time and energy learning any business you choose. After all, we must know our product and business to succeed. But there will come a time when you can be a mentor to someone with same questions you once had. When that time comes, complete circle by publishing a free report, take a phone call or write an ezine. When you do you will learn even more and be a blessing to others as well. Success can be simple. The Internet makes it even more so. All it takes is careful decision making, a firm commitment to your goals and priorities and a little help along way.

There is a lot of discussion about how many words should be on your web site. While this debate will continue to rage on, sites that sell best seem to be one-page, very simple sales sites. After all, why use more words than necessary. People are in a hurry today so give them what they want. Tell them clearly why they should buy your product, ask for order and offer them more information if they choose not to buy now. Simple. 4. Use Automation To Your Advantage 'Automation' is simply a fancy term for letting a computer do work you would normally do. Perhaps best example is an autoresponder. An autoresponder is a program that sends emails out over a period of time. Rather than having to remember who should get which message when, computer remembers and sends them for you. There are ways to process orders, send email follow ups, ask for referrals, place ads and more all using power of automation. While it is important to maintain a personal touch, automating everyday tasks means you will be able to respond faster to inquires and have time you need to follow up with clients and expand your business. 5. Give Yourself Time Just as in any business, it takes time to succeed in an online business. Since time is going to march on anyway, why not make time your ally? Using tools to automate your business will help you save time every day. Having clearly defined goals and objectives will help you have 'staying power' for long haul. Using time wisely and being committed to long term success are both vital to your online business. Success is simple if you keep it simple. One key is to find people who are successful and learn from what they are doing. When you are offering a popular product using a simple sales page website, are following up using automation to your advantage and are patient enough to let your business grow, you will find that path to success is short indeed.
