They make it easy to build a relationship and establish interest and trust with your prospective customer or recruit and they minimise amount time you need to devote to busy work. By time your prospect has got through your series of messages, if they feel need to make further contact with you prior to making a decision, you are at least assured that they are sufficiently interested to merit your manual input and time taken to communicate.

It depends very much on type of product, service or opportunity that you’re marketing but it is generally accepted that somewhere between 5 and 9 “contacts”, or messages, are required before a customer is comfortable enough to make a decision. Seven is often quoted as ideal number but it does vary and this should not be taken as gospel.

I am constantly surprised by number of marketers, some of them very experienced, who load up their autoresponders with 7 messages, capture email addresses of interested parties, send them their message series and leave it at that. If that’s what you’re doing then there are a couple of very simple tweaks you can make to improve your return on time and money you spend to collect those valuable email addresses.

The first is simplicity itself and requires very little effort on your part – no need to even change your message series. Let’s assume that your message series consists of standard 7 and that this suits type of product your promoting perfectly well (it probably does). You send out these messages spaced one day apart over course of a week, messages 1 to 5 are probably largely informative and messages 6 and 7 may well contain a “call to action”, possibly with a sense of urgency being introduced – although you may have introduced a call to action earlier in series depending upon product type.

Your prospects go through this series of messages and a percentage of them will take your advice and sign up for whatever your promoting. The majority of them won’t – that’s just statistics I’m afraid.

And if you've done it right, even failing doesn't need to cost much in both time and money. Learn from it, get over it and move on.

You only really fail when you give up!

So are benefits of Internet Marketing.

The ability to at least set yourself up to be able to sell to a global audience for next to nothing in next to no time from your own home gives modern mothers tremendous business leverage both in time and money.

However cyberspace is vast and if you try to get your head around whole Internet galaxy you'll need several years.

I'm assuming you don't have this timeframe so I've listed 2 key steps mothers should consider, to make a B line for extra online profits in comfort of your own home.

Like every marketer online, you'll need something to sell. Don't worry if right now you've got absolutely no idea what to sell. It may take several months to hone in on a product.

Now good marketing practices dictate that you first find a target market then present them with products you believe they'd want.

If you can follow this principle, that's wonderful but if not, i.e. you might already have a product and not sure who to market it to, then don't worry.

An example of this might be that you currently make smocking items or craft items etc on a regular basis. Perhaps you'd rather try and sell your (and other's) items instead of letting them build up in cupboard.

Once you have a product and hopefully a target market you need to:

1. Set up your sales system on payapl, ebay, and/or Yahoo and get your own website.
