Every day I have subscribers of my newsletter asking me what is real key to internet success?

There are only a few things that you should do to make most of your internet ventures. Some of what you are about to read I am sure you have heard before. But some you might not have. One thing for sure is once you read this article you will be a little closer to how to stop making mistakes and start pulling in profits.

First: If you dont already have your own list of Optin Clients then you are beating your head against wall. When I first came online in 1999 I started researching everything that so called GuRu's where saying about list building. This is one of most IMPORTANT keys to reaching your goals online in any business.

There are many ways to start your own Optin List of Clients, You can start your own eZine Newsletter, Or you can start a Safelist as many new marketers online will go to a Safelist because it gives them a place to advertise their affiliate programs without worry of SPAM. A Traffic Exchange is also a great tool to use to start your own list.

But no matter how you do start one you need to have your own optin list of clients to work with. This not only gives you fresh clients to send your offers to but also it gives you TOOLS to work JointVentures with other business owners!

Now that you have a list of your own one thing that GURU's dont tell you is that it is not SIZE of list that will turn your efforts into profits but it is how well they respond to your offers. My eZine HaileysComet Weekly has been online since 2000, At this time we have over 33,000+ double optin readers. 90% of these readers have been with me since begining. The reason is because I was able to learn that you need to be on a PERSONAL LEVEL with your group. Because of this when I join a affiliate program or have a new product come out I have hundreds of members from my list join with me or purchase from me!

NO ONE likes to get a message from a AUTORESPONDER!

People like to know that their is a real person on other end of line. I have readers calling me every day asking me questions about how they can get a better response from their efforts. You have to get personal and let people know they can trust you to respond to their needs. Yes AutoResponders do work when you have a eCourse or information they can use and it cant be put in one message. But with all BS running around these days people want someone to explain to them info they need.

Let me tell you a true story.

Some years ago I was walking down beach strand, absolutely eager about my new position in National TV News station I worked for. I finally achieved being promoted and was, at last, a department chief editor. Wow.

I was hungry and happy enough to provide myself with a treat. Yummy. I wanted a big cheese burger. Although I hate junk food (its so bad for your health), I decided to go for it. Sitting at a table, with my sunglasses on and my beach towel ready for a swim after my lunch I noticed something that gave me KEY.

"www(I can't recall what) .com Burger Order delivered to your door."

I was absolutely shocked by that. Right there, printed with a groovy logo right in my tray. This was a real new and great idea. I talked with restaurant's manager in order to feature his service in TV. He finally shut his service down. But what I learned was so important.

I now call it "Cheese Burger Effect".

Just by sitting there, doing nothing really, I discovered what an Internet niche was (although I didnt know what that word really referred to then). I understood that there were people out there that would buy online just because it was easy, fast, and they don't have to move from their sofa.

This is when I first decided to brainstorm and research a bit. I found out that a great deal of men and women claimed to be making money online easily -Yes know I know most of them were just trying to make money by saying that they made a lot of money-. I payed to put a simple website online that promoted all kinds of stupid things that now I'm ashamed to mention. I spammed. I thought I was going to make tons of money.

Hugh! I didn't. Not a single red cent. I gave up.

A few weeks later I gave my cheese burger hidden addiction another treat. While sitting, thinking about banal matters I came up with another idea. What if I tried to sell real things online and not just bogus "systems" "randomizers" and lies? What if I sold old books standing on my room's shelf. I got a website up with photos and then posted URL in a free classified newspaper. People went there, saw my books and called me if interested. You know what ? I sold them all!
