If you are like me, then you must have been struggling for some time now, or maybe you are just starting out, in internet marketing. At first, most probably what convinced you to take this step were statements like "make $10,000 in 24 hours" or "quit your regular job by six o'clock tomorrow morning" or any of those other outrageous claims that seem to be flying around on the internet these days.
However, as time goes by and you strive to get over that learning curve, you realize that you have to re-adjust your expectations.
Now, in this article I want to share with you what I consider to be the seven most important elements of online success.
These have come about from my own experience as an internet marketer, as well as from what I have learned from other top marketers, whose work I admire.

Getting his permission to send him additional high quality messages over time, you greatly increase the likelihood of him trusting you and listening to what you want to offer him next time around.
3.Establish yourself as an expert
As they say, traffic to your website or blog is the lifeblood of your business. With no people coming to your site, there will be no sales, regardless of how fancy and interesting your web design is.
Therefore, what you need to do to be found be both the search engines and people, is to build a lot of high quality content, relevant to your niche. This content might either be apart of your website, articles that point back to it, post on online forums etc.
4.Don't give up so fast
A common mistake made by aspiring new marketers is that they give up too easy. Most probably due to high expectations set at the beginning of their efforts as they fall victims to excessive hype about fast......
