I wakeup this morning and see my lovely wife. She was sleeping and looking like angel. I thought probably I am luckiest guy in world. I have a gorgeous wife, a cute doll (my daughter). I have money and time to enjoy life, and I dont need to worry about my future. Suddenly I remember those days when I started Internet marketing.

I can't forget those worst days when I used to work 16 hours a day. I come from my JOB (Just Over Broke) and started working on my computer till 4.00 o'clock in morning. I had dark circle under my eyes. I had no time for friends, family and even for my love. I did every thing I read and almost exhausted my Credit Card but I couldn't make money.

It happens with almost every newbie's. So question here “what is secret of Success in Internet marketing”? The answer is your own OPT-IN LIST and Targeted visitors on your website.

OPT-IN LIST: Youve probably heard about “The List” many times. This is only fact that there is nothing more valuable in your online business than your email list. EVERYTHING you do online should grow your list, even if it's one person at a time.

Think about it... if you've got a list, you can send valuable content, and then create lots of product offers as time goes on. But if you DON'T have a list... it doesn't matter how many offers you create, because NOBODY will see them.

A Proven Fact: A very crucial element of online marketing is a proven fact that people are likely to do business with those they trust. The best online ways of building trust with a prospect is through e-mail marketing. Give your prospect something valuable and gain there trust.

5 Ways to Boost Your Website Traffic for free.

01. JV Partnership: Youve probably heard about Joint Ventures before. They are one of my biggest sources of traffic. Initially its hard to find JV Partners especially big names because nobody knows you so start with smaller marketers. Don't forget to keep a list of everybody you have had a successful JV with. They know you and they like to work with you in future.

02. Write Articles and submit to article directories: Writing articles and submit to article directories is another great method to attract tons of visitors. It takes little time and builds your credibility all over web. It improves your sites search engine ranking because of link back to your site.

Ignorance and lack of knowledge has a lot to do with PayPal's growth. Many merchants are not aware of potential problems they can encounter depending solely on PayPal for their online payment processing. That is, until they encounter potential customers that won't use PayPal to purchase their products or services. Or worse, they have their PayPal merchant account suspended and funds frozen without notice, effectively shutting down their business.

If you really want to get some idea as to depth of PayPal's unpopularity, you need only to do a search on Google. Type in "PayPal Complaints" and click enter and see what happens. Over 335,000 results and still counting. No other online merchant processor comes close to having this many dissatisfied customers.

'Phishing' is another reason many customers and potential customers are steering clear of PayPal. Not that PayPal is doing 'Phishing', but they are certainly not making a big enough effort to stop it. And why should they? They are not 'Phishing' and they are not losing money. Only customer is. Virtually 100% of online 'Phishing' associated with merchant accounts is done using PayPal name. And even seasoned web users are being scammed by this technique.

Customers can eliminate most, if not all, of 'Phishing' associated with online purchasing by simply using a different service. It is that simple! And there are plenty of good alternatives to PayPal out there that are hungry for your business. None are as big as PayPal and few have been around as long as PayPal. But they are reputable and offer a wide variety of services. And you most likely will never receive any 'Phishing' messages using their names.

So make change now, before it is too late. Our advice is to avoid PayPal if at all possible. And we also would advise you to offer two different online payment options, with at least one providing you with ability to accept payments by check.

Following, you will find most complete listing relating to online payment options. Brief outlines are meant only to give you an idea of what they have to offer. We would suggest taking time to visit each site. Your customers will thank you. And you will most likely eliminate a lot of headaches in process.
