Too many people find what they think is correct map. Why because, this particular map salesman guarantees you will find Wizard, a pot of gold and a few servants to tote these riches around for you.

When first map fails to help them find fantastic life promised, they search for another.

Wow! This map salesman has promised a map to pot of gold, riches that will be found there and a small tropical island where they can kick back on beach and sip drinks with toys in them.

It all sounds so fantastic.

My advice. Stop looking for map and start implementing good solid business practices.

What does that consist of?

Here are a few basic tips that can help you get started in right direction.

If you have been around anyone who is having success in marketing business, you have heard first tip over and over.

Start building a list.

I hear. You don't have time. I'm only adding a few people each week. I could go on and on with reasons you can't accomplish this feat.

It does not matter how slow process begins, don't put it off any longer. Start building a list now.

But I don't have time to put out an ezine.

There are many ways to start building a list.

Give away something on your website in exchange for a name and email address.

There are ebooks all over place. Find some with valuable information and give them to your visitors.

Give away information courses. This is one of best ways available today. In fact, this not only provides you with means to obtain email addresses, it also gives you opportunity to introduce your products as well.

You don't have time to write them?

There are many who offer rights to these courses for a price.

Someone wrote and told me they would never pay to obtain material to give away for free.

My answer to that. If you still feel that way, you need to go back and start learning how to rollover. You are certainly not ready to crawl much less walk or run in this business.

To help you get started, I've compiled a list of ten tips that will not only help you successfully write your own articles, but also help you get most out of articles you do write.

To begin:

1. Put a lot of thought into title of your article.

Writing a good title will grab your readers attention and encourage them to read through your article.

2. Keep introduction and conclusion of your article short.

3. Write your article as a series of tips that center around a specific subject. This is a very effective way to present your information and hold your readers interest.

4. Use numbers to list tips in your article. This allows your readers to go quickly from one tip to next, and also keeps your article neatly organized and easy to read.

5. Keep your tips brief and to point.
