My Number ONE Online Mistake!<\/h1>\n

As has been mentioned elsewhere on this blog, I have been trying to build an income from the internet\u00a0for a number of years, without getting anywhere.
\nSure… I’ve made a few sales, and I had a regular income on a very small scale from a Traffic Exchange\u00a0site I owned in the past.
\nThis was never very profitable, but it earned enough from upgraded members and advertising credit package sales\u00a0 to pay it’s own way as far as domain name and hosting costs, and even had extra money, which covered advertising the site on other exchanges, etc.<\/p>\n

One big mistake I made, was that I didn’t realize at the time, that the members in this exchange were in actual fact my first email list, and I never did anything with it. In hindsight, I could have been building a relationship with these people, offering them other products, and marketing to them.<\/p>\n

This was a perfect opportunity for me, and I didn’t do anything at all to cultivate it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone who is<\/strong> making money online is using their websites, their products, and all they do online\u00a0to build their subscribers lists, and to build relationships with the people, so they can market to and help\u00a0these people.<\/p>\n

I won’t make that mistake again!<\/p>\n

If you are interested in making money online, and don’t have responsive email lists, you should be\u00a0making this your absolute highest priority!<\/strong><\/p>\n
