The truth be told,there is no "holy grail" to online success.But best chance you have is with a positive attitude.It is a neccessity to deal with inevitable obstacles that will present themselves.

One of greatest struggles online marketers face is themselves.Yes ,yourself.Imagine telling your friends and love ones about your new career and they scoff at it saying it won't work.Your next step will depend on how much you believe in yourself.

Believing in yourself and your dreams will determine how far you will go.Nothing worthwhile in this world comes easy.That's why there are always obstacles on journey to online success.Just believe , it works.

Becoming successful online has become a reality for many marketers.But are you prepared to cross minefield to online success ? Think about it.

To your success and mine .....,

Success doesn't happen overnight and takes hard work and perseverance but if you write a couple of articles a week you will soon find an increase in visitors to your site.

3,Write your own ezine

Start your own ezine and publish it regularly. This is a good way of informing your visitors of any news and updates on your website. Have an opt in form on in a prominate place on your site so that people can subscribe to it. The ezine should also have an unsubscribe option as well. Any visitors who do unsubscribe should be deleted from your database immediately.

You can install some free cgi scripting that enables visitors to subscribe and unsubscribe to your newsletter or ezine. Go to http://www.siteinteractive.com/subscribe/index2.html There are tutorials as well to help you install script.

A good idea is to have a pop under box for visitors to subscribe. This will appear after they have closed your site. I personally find pop up boxes annoying, but with a pop under box visitor has already left your site anyway. You can get cgi script for a pop under box at http://www.clickforcontent.com/pop_under_script.htm

If you need articles to put in your ezine there are many sites that have databases of free articles that you can use. Try http://www.freezineweb.com and http://www.ezinearticles.com

These are just some of methods that you can use to get traffic to your site. There are also many offline ways as well including just talking to people you meet!!

You could design and print out some flyers to advertise your business and place them in cafe's, libraries, supermarket customer advertising boards, and even place some on car windscreens in car parks that you are passing through. I have often gone back to my car after a shopping trip and found a flyer on my car advertising a business or local event!!

Design and print out business cards. You can get some nice quality paper for printing these out on to make them look professional. Hand these to everyone you meet and leave one with a bill whenever you eat in a restaurant.

How about designing a car sticker and place it on rear windscreen of your car.

Placing an ad in your local paper is a good idea and reasonably inexpensive.

Always make sure that you carry some cards and flyers whenever you leave house you never know when an opportunity will occur!!
