Another year has come and gone and as an Internet marketer, you have to look back at the last twelve months to see what you have accomplished.
Did you get rich with that new $27 Clickbank product that promised to show you all the secrets that the gurus have been hiding from you?
The biggest flaw I see in people trying to make money online is that they want to get rich overnight and with very little effort.
It just doesn’t work that way.
I have been running a successful online company for the last 15 years and the secret formula to making money online hasn’t changed.
So what is it?
Traffic + Optin = Targeted List
Yup.
For years, you may have been distracted by the next shiny object syndrome, but the fact is that the money is and will always be in the list.
Email is not dead and never will be.
There is a very high probability that you are reading this post because of an email that I sent you.
Trust me when I say that I have tested it all.
Twitter doesn’t work as well as email.
Facebook fan pages do not work as well as email.
Youtube doesn’t work as well as email.
Now using these sources to generate traffic and build a list, well that is a smart strategy.
My advice? Pick a niche and start building a list. A list is an asset that can be used to make you a lot of money. The one skill I tell anyone who wants to make money online is learn the art of traffic generation. Once you have the traffic, build the list.
Besides the list hosting costs (which are cheap), email is free to send out so why wouldn’t you build a list?
That is my focus for 2012. What about you?
I would love to get your comments.
Best wishes for a successful 2012,
Gauher Chaudhry
