Finding what works for you may take a month or two months, or even a year or two. It's trial and error, and, learning from those errors so you don't make them again and again. It's not an easy task finding what you want. But when you find it, you will know it right away.

It will be like looking for that special someone, for what seemed like most of your life. Then one day you found that someone and that feeling you had in your heart told that was one. You know that feeling..........you just knew it was right.

Where would we be today if people in begining of time just went along with status quo and didn't both to look for what they wanted. Without experimentation and hard work we wouldn't be able to enjoy all of things we now take for granted.

Things like potatoes, radishes, and carrots. Those foods did not grow above ground like apples, pears, and cherries. They had to be found, and tested, and researched to find out wheather or not they were edible.

That may be stretching point somewhat, but you get idea. You have to find something you enjoy doing. That takes time, hard work, and perserverence. Only you will know when you found what you want.

Be an individual, don't run with crowd. Be your own person. Don't sell ebooks because everybody says that's thing to do online. Do what you want. Do what you feel comfortable doing, and don't let anybody blow smoke up your tailpipe.

7. Make sure you keep your hard won subscribers by writing an entertaining and informative newsletter. Basically, describe what works for you in an interesting way. Write it as if you're chatting to your subscriber over a cup of coffee or something a little stronger!

8. Put your ezine link in your signature file and use it with every e-mail that you send. You will be surprised at how many e-mails you do send and number of sign-ups you will get. Again, point out benefits of joining your ezine.

9. Write or make your own products. Name recognition does count! Many free directories and sites will list your free product if it's written by you - this can be a great source of subscribers.

Can't write - then get permission and compile a list of articles by others into an ebook. This can be a quick and fast way to get your name linked to high quality information and marketers. Again quality counts.

10. Make your list viral. Ask readers to pass it on to their friends and their lists. If they like your ezine or you - they will!
