Remember by using this one simple idea you will save yourself a tremendous amount of time and money, and it can take you from a novice to looking like pros almost overnight.

Part 2) This is most important part. You already know gurus in your related field so now you will need to ‘Study gurus’

Learn everything you can from them by joining their mailing lists, enrolling in their mini courses, buying their products, and signing up for their affiliate programs. Let me assure you right now that these gurus will not promote something unless it is a quality product. And reason is reputation is everything on line and if they recommend a bad product then they won’t be a guru for very long.

By enrolling in their mini courses and signing up for their affiliate programs you will receive lots of valuable information that will help your internet business.

Read all emails they send you and check out products they recommend. You may even want to buy a few of these, because they may be very helpful in generating more sales. To increase sales even further try to find 1 or 2 gurus with good copywriting skills and learn as much as possible from them.

Part 3) And after studying these gurus for a while you will be ready for third and final step. ‘Become guru’

After you have been studying these gurus for a while you will have gained more knowledge then most people on internet. And some of these will start asking you for advice. Then they will start buying products from you. And best advice I can give you is to always recommend quality products. Because your reputation is everything online.

Don’t forget to invest your time and money in ‘better copywriting skills’ and ‘advanced marketing techniques’, because both of these will dramatically help to increase your sales. Copyright © Duane Marx

Making a pitch via email to someone that can be a possible gatekeeper, prospect, or strategic partner is important, if you don't have time to put into a well written and clearly presented email, turn car around and do it when you do have time. If you never seem to find time, then look at your priorities, they sound a little off kilter to me.

I'm not saying you need everything perfect nor have all answers but I am saying that you need to know what you want and say it.

iNetworking isn't any different than in-person networking in many respects. In both, you are building a relationship, it’s just not in person, nor local, it’s international in many cases. You wouldn't say in first three minutes at an in-person networking event that you want them to be your affiliate, or would you?

iNetworking is about building relationships. I've developed some wonderful networking buddies on Internet over years and they watch my back and I theirs. It isn't all about sales. Yet, each of us knows we need to scratch each other’s back. And we do. But not until after initial time together.

Let’s summarize these points for clarity. iNetworking is same as in-person networking in that you need to have a clear intention or purpose for making contact, even if reason is to get to know what each of you do. iNetworking works its magic best when it includes at least one phone call after initial contact.

Since I write Internet articles, I set up many relationships with publishers and editors. I don't hesitate to write them. I compliment them on what they are doing right and sometimes give them an idea or two on what other sites are doing to support their writers. They are always grateful because they don't have time to do this. And relationship grows from there. I prefer to follow it up with a phone call or two. I learn about their challenges and I share same.

It doesn't matter who calls whom, be ready with your spiel. What you do or provide and how you some possible working arrangements. There is a list of 100 by my phone. Allow time to iNetwork but look for people who are ready.

Don't make people guess. Spit it out clearly in your email, edit and edit again if need be. Sometimes I go through six or seven edits to make sure mine are clear. Give others opportunity to network with you. Here’s my challenge to you. Who can you reach out to at this exact moment and begin iNetworking? They are waiting to hear from you.
