That is a great question!
We all know by now that the long term success for having an online business comes from building and maintaining a database, and selling to the people on it again and again, right
But what if (like me) youre too impatient to wait until the list is big enough to make lots of money from
Our success has come from looking outside the square and trying to identify markets and ideas that arent currently being utilised to their full potential.
Plus we dont let anything stand in our way, and will bulldoze through the so called hurdles.
We didnt have a big list when we started on the Internet so we decided to find someone who did!
What we did is put ourselves into the position where we were able to meet people who had what we were looking for, and seeing how we can help them, before we asked them to help us.
People dont just give freely any more, they are usually thinking WIFM!
Whats In It For Me
Once we built up a few good relationships, we then made our presentation to the owners of a few big databases.
Guess what happened
Some of those people told us to go away!
That was the censored version!!
But guess what else happened
Someone said yes!
We wrote up a brief sales letter for the database owner to send out to their list. It was written as though he himself had written it, and it explained the benefits of doing business with us, to the individual.
The moral of the story is to ask yourself How Can INot Why Cant I
A good friend of mine has a motto that says...The Higher The Hurdle, The Easier It Is To Get Under It!
Traditional thinking says I must jump over the hurdle, why
There are easier ways to get past the hurdle, look for the alternate way to get to the same outcome youre looking for.
Have A Successful Week!
Take Care

Gasp! Choke! Gag! Thats how people react when you tell them your business does not have a website. So do you really need one
This article attempts to show you how you can use the internet (and websites) to maximise your business potential using simple internet marketing strategies.
Hello, Mr. Superman
If all you do is answer your e-mail promptly, respond to queries and conduct some sort of business over e-mail, you will be achieving more in one day than most websites do in a year!
Life Without Websites: Cest Possible!
Paper was the most effective method of making sure things were read - until e-mail came along. If you look at e-mail as a dynamic form of paper, you will be able to achieve the same (if not better) results in getting your message across convincingly. Unfortunately, most people look at e-mail as a letter writing tool instead of using it as a communication tool.
How to Use E-mail Powerfully!
The key to e-mail is to have a client database in the first place. Not just any database, but people who have worked with you.
Secondly, it must be permission based. People must see your e-mail as being of help to them in their daily lives. Once you have their permission, you can e-mail them on a regular pre-agreed basis and be sure that they appreciate you keeping in touch with them.
A Very, Very Important Fact...
People dont care about you or what youre selling. All theyre concerned about is themselves. If your e-mail isnt helping them in some way, theyll read it once and trash it. You may never get a second chance! Make sure, your e-mail is about them, them, them!
Which Businesses Can Use E-mail
Weve not figured out how a funeral director can use it yet. Other than that, most businesses can use it extremely effectively!
So What Good Is A Website, After All
Websites are online brochures. They save you time having to explain what your company does.
Besides, there are millions of ways to harness the power of your website and actually increase your business.
Dont panic if youre without a website right now. Use the power of e-mail today and plan your money making website tomorrow.
