9. Join news groups and discussion lists which fit into your niche. While blatant advertising is not normally permitted, most will allow you to use a signature file which is quite effective in advertising.

10. Develop a viral marketing strategy. Create a program, ebook, or something else that people would like to have. Include your links in it and give it freely to world. The better it is, more quickly it will spread across internet, and greater return on your investment in it.

11. Use autoresponders. Smart autoresponders can send a series of up to 20 follow-up messages to your prospective clients. You should follow up with your message at least seven times for it to reach maximum effectiveness.

12. Be persistent and consistent in all your efforts. Set up a schedule for advertising, web site maintenance, article writing and submission, ezine publication and all other items stated above. Follow that schedule as closely as possible and be consistent and persistent in following it.

There is nothing new or earth shaking in any of above. These same principles have been promoted across Internet for several years. Every Internet marketing program on Internet specifies one or more of these principles as a foundation for success in this medium.

Incorporate all of these into your marketing efforts and watch your income steadily increase. Always remember that nothing has been developed or invented that cannot be improved. Set some time aside to consider those things now used for marketing and seeing how they can be changed to be more effective.

Literally thousands of people venture out into world of online business every week. These businesses come in many shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: failure rates.

A whopping 90% of all would-be online money-makers never do make a profit. They invest their time, their creativity, and worst of all, their hard-earned money in business ventures and opportunities that never make them a single cent. Perhaps most discouraging part about all this is that these people don't even know why they are failing.

Let me tell you a little-known secret that everyone needs to know. The reason why 90% of us aren't making any money, despite all our hard work, is that we just aren't cut out for marketing. It's not our fault, and it's not because we're not smart or don't work hard enough. You see, we've been told all along that ANYONE can succeed online, and then we expect that to be true. In reality, however, real marketers are a rare breed... a breed who possesses gift of persuasion, snappy writing, and basically talking people out of their money. These people are few and far between, which is why successful salespeople are among highest paid on earth.

So, what can you do to become one of these rare specimens? Sadly, nothing. Can you learn to become a successful marketer? Probably not. Unless you naturally possess "marketing gene," and have best luck in world, you probably won't find real success online as long as you're trying to do marketing yourself.

Now, what I just said is key: "as long as you're trying to do marketing yourself." There are plenty of marketing experts out there, real gurus, who know what they're doing and THRIVE on it. Why not elicit their help?

If you think you can't afford to hire an expert, you're wrong. After all, if they're going to help you make money, you'll already be one step ahead of where you are. Many of them are looking to team up with people just like you, because they know they stand to make money if they help you out. They love what they do, and they need you just as much as you need them. Many have set up networks where they partner with you, automate your campaign, and simply take a commission of everyone else that signs up. It's simple, and it works.
