Sometimes, you just have to keep trying different things until you find a system that works. This is true of a lot of things in life and of running an internet business online.

I first got involved on the Internet over 24 months ago. It was April 2006 when I built my first website. It was very basic and very simple. During the next 15 months, I went round in circles trying to promote my site.

I didn’t generate any more than $200 per month. There were a lot of issues with my business model.

So what was missing from my business, well;

#1 – I didn’t have a way of capturing my visitors details;

#2 – I didn’t realize that I had to develop a relationship with the visitors to my site;

#3 – I was wasting too much money on paid advertising - which was totally unnecessary.

Then in July 2007, BINGO! I got it right! In July 2007 I generated over $500 per month online. And it was all down to the new methods I developed of building a list and marketing at zero cost online.

For the very first time, I was in profit. Each month for the ext three months I increased my income by over 75%.

I now have several lists of interested subscribers. And I intend increasing my list exponentially. Had I given up after a few months I would never have discovered the basic internet principles.

No matter where you are with you business, don’t give up. You will get there eventually.
