The Secret
Online businesses are an electronic version of mail order businesses. There are electronic ways to advertise, electronic ways to gain visibility, and your mail goes out electronically. All of these things are intended to get people to open your email and visit your website if you have one. You don't need a website to do online business.
The thing that I wish to pass on to you, for free, is the so called secret of online marketing that millions of people claim to have and want to share with you for a measly $19.95 or maybe even a measly $199.99 compared to all the riches you are going to receive after you buy their secret.

The main objectives that we have are:
1. Sell product
1. Build your downline
Affiliate marketing is a combination of local and online selling. Your most immediate revenue will come from your local efforts.
Since this is a free opportunity and we want to invest as little as possible in getting it started, we need to sell product to finance the continued growth of our businesses. A good downline is important to the growth and future of our companies. A good downline means that we don't have to work so hard. Since developing a good downline mostly requires time, we can invest in it now. These are both number 1 objectives.
The key, the most important key, the "secret", to any online business is to build a huge email list. An email list will be the primary cause of objectives 1 and 1 being reached and our success in our online businesses. It will mean that we can buy our own domains and stop sending out emails 5 at a time. It will result in us not having to sell to friends and family. It will mean that we retain customers and sell to them over and over. Your email list will be the foundation of your business.
If you have noticed, before you get anything free from the people who claim to have the secret to sell you, the free traffic generating sites, or anything else for free, you have to give them your email and other information. In the process of giving them this information, you are giving them permission to email you offers. They are building their email lists whether you buy anything or not and it is worth it to them. All of the free pages of success stories and advice that they give you can be summed up in one sentence. Build your email list. It is the hardest task to perform but, it will be the foundation of your business.
Over 50% of all online sales originate from emails. Almost all of the rest comes from search engine submission.
The fact that you are looking into or getting started with an online business means that you already have the beginnings of an email list. A way to start building a list for free is to collect business cards every chance you get. You know that stack of business cards that you or your spouse are keeping around for some reason? Enter the email addresses. Some of them may not be good any more but, it's worth finding out. Your are entitled to send anyone who sends you a commercial email offer a response with your own message. If you are going to spend any money on this program now, buy an email list. Be careful. Some of the email lists offered on line are scams. Don't buy a book. You know the "secret".
So we have 3 things that, if we accomplish them, will result in our success:
1. Build your email/remail list
1. Sell product
1. Build your downline
