Many Internet marketing experts will tell you that the best way to find out what your customers want from you is to ask them. While that may be true, I believe that an even more accurate way is to just listen to what they're telling you, and to what they're asking you for.

To illustrate my point, I'll use a couple of examples from one of my own niches ... the recipe and cookbook niche. If you already have even a minor foothold in any niche, my experience should be somewhat instructive.

Crossing The Chasm To On-line Success

Bill Phillips, in his excellent book "Body for Life," likens making the life-style changes necessary to build a healthier body to crossing a deep, dark chasm. Before you cross this chasm, it often looks like a very daunting task. Once you get started, doing what you need to do soon becomes a habit that requires very little effort.

Building a successful on-line business also involves crossing a deep, dark chasm where you must make doing just a few things that you need to do regular "habits."

Could A Help Desk System Save Your Business?

Willie Crawford, Our official Joint Ventures Expert says:

When I recently downloaded my email and there were 13,000+ messages that had made it past my filters, I knew that I had to do something. It's simply impossible to work through that many messages in less than a few days -- which is what my team and I did. In the process, I'm sure that we deleted more than a few that we didn't really intend to.

Hate Squeeze Pages? A PDF Popup Is More Polite Copyright 2008 by Willie Crawford

"The money's in the list." That's what we've all been taught in the Internet marketing niche. To many that translates into "you really, really need to focus on building your list."

Unfortunately, for many that means "doing whatever it takes to force, trick, or bribe people onto your list."

Generating Self-Sustaining Website Traffic

Willie Crawford, Our official Joint Ventures Expert says:

Upon returning from a recent seminar, I had two messages from newspaper reporters on my answering machine. They were both seeking interviews. I also had emails showing that I'd earned several thousand dollars while I was out of town speaking. The orders had all been processed automatically, and the emails were just for my information. It was at that point that I realized my Internet business had truly reached critical mass.

Don't Hate The Rich - Be One Of Them!

Willie Crawford, Our official Joint Ventures Expert says:

When I was a child, growing up on the farm in North Carolina ( extremely poor), my grandmother's favorite saying seemed to be "Money doesn't grow on trees!"

She was also fond of unintentionally misquoting the Bible and saying "Money is the root of all EVIL!"

As I listened to my elders, and the others around me, I learned that "It was easier for a camel to pass thought the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to get into heaven."

How to Actually Become A Top Internet Marketer

Willie Crawford, Our official Joint Ventures Expert says:

Many Internet marketers, myself included, advise new netrepreneurs not to go into the Internet marketing niche. It's simply too competitive. However, if you still insist upon making this your niche, here's how.

One of the easiest ways to become established in any industry is to associate with those already successful at what you'd like to do. For Internet marketing that means attending the gatherings top Internet marketers attend.

Giving Yourself Permission To Succeed Massively

Willie Crawford, Our official Joint Ventures Expert says:

On September 29th, 2006, I logged onto the Internet, read a few negative posts on several online discussion forums, and decided that I'd earn one million dollars over the next 90 days. I decided to do this, and to document it, to demonstrate that you really can do anything that you give yourself permission to accomplish.

To back myself into a corner, I publicly declared that this was what I was going to do.

Getting More Work DONE In Your Online Business

Willie Crawford, Our official Joint Ventures Expert says:

If you're anything like me, there never seems to be enough time to get all of the things done that you'd like to do. If your income goals are as high as mine (seven-figures,) then you also realize that you'll have a very hard time reaching them if you're trading time for money. I realized this second point when I first noticed all of the doctors and lawyers leaving those practices to start their own businesses.
