Generate traffic to your sites
I'm sure this isn't a new idea to you, but the first step in making any money online is getting people to visit your site. The important point that's often missed about traffic, however, is that you need to do it consistently, and you need a way to do it that you know costs you less than you earn from it. All the traffic in the world is great, but if you go broke getting it you won't have much of an empire.

Capture targeted prospects on an email subscriber list
the fact is, the most valuable asset you'll ever own for your online marketing is your list of subscribers. Why? Because they are targeted, they believe you can offer them some value, and they will buy on your recommendation again and again--which is the #1 source of profits for the "big name" pros you see everywhere online. Building a list allows you to market repeatedly to a growing number of potential buyers.

Convert your list into a continuous, predictable, and growing income stream
you have traffic to your site, you are capturing subscribers, and you're building a list. The last vital step in really making money is to systematically develop your relationship with your subscribers, build their trust, and offer products and services they really need and can benefit from using. It takes time to learn the right way of doing this--the bond of trust is hard to build and easy to destroy, and once it's gone you've lost any possible income potential from those prospects. But when done right, your faithful subscribers will generate enough cash for you to live any type of life you want with complete freedom.
