Let’s cut to the chase. Pure and simple, for any successful internet
marketer, the key to financial success is creating a large e-mail
customer list, but also a list that is based from targeted customers
for a specific market niche. It makes no sense if you have a large
e-mail customer list from selling e-bay collectibles and then use the
list to solicit sales for affiliate marketing and e-books. You may get
some hits but the results will be far from successful.

Base your list building strategy by first focusing on a highly
competitive market niche such as digital information. This market,
although competitive, has a high demand in the market place. People
are always looking for information to solve a problem, to start a
business, how to make money on line; it goes on and on.

It also has something else. It has numerous opportunities to do joint
ventures with other marketers looking for help in product promotion
and affiliate programs. Joint ventures will help any marketer
skyrocket their ability to create targeted web traffic that can be
converted to potential life long customers for your business.

To best play in this arena though, you should be the physical owner
and author of a high quality e-book that would be of value to your
joint venture partners to promote using their e-mail customer lists.

Many of these internet marketers have literally thousands of e-mail
subscribers created through their businesses where they not only sell
products but also have their own membership forums, news letters, as
well as ongoing mentorship sites. These people are well connected.

To break in though, you must have a product of high value to submit to
them. After all they will not promote your product unless they have
reviewed it and verified its value. These marketers will not tarnish
their reputation with their subscribers by promoting an inferior
product.

As for your product, you do not need to be the original author, but it
helps.

Some of the best digital information marketers do not write most of
their products. They often use products with private label
rights(PLR). These products are unpublished and are bought with full
resale rights that allow the buyer to modify the product any way they
see fit; pack it with targeted links to viralize the book, change the
title of the product and finally create or modify a selling page.
Bottom line though, typically 75% of the product is usually left
unchanged.

View your product as a business asset. Just having one good product
could explode your business and build a large email list of customers
and subscribers, and you will make a lot of money! If you are not a
writer, there is another alternative. You can actually have someone
else create an e-book for you for about $150 to $600.

Now where do you find internet marketers to promote your product? A
great site for that is Click Bank. This site is a meeting place for
marketers who have information products to sell and buyers or
affiliates looking for information products to promote.

This is the site where you register your product, set up a merchant
account when you do sell your product and Click Bank takes care of the
transactions, and it lists your product for availability for affiliate
marketers to find who are interested in promoting your product in the
same market niche.

Going back to the joint venture issue, Click Bank as mentioned is
where you find your potential partners. When in Click Bank, you have
the ability to search for products that are also in your product
niche. Say for instance, selling on eBay. By doing a search by the
word eBay, you will find over 100 products listed in Click Bank.

Find 10-15 information products that interest you and are similar to
your own. Open up each of their sales pages and send an e-mail to the
authors requesting a reciprocal promotion of each of your products
thorough e-mail lists, news letters, or forums. Offer them a free copy
of your product for evaluation and request the same from them. Most
will be interested in this reciprocal promotion. You promote their
product, and they promote yours. Then watch with amazement how fast
you make money as well as collect targeted e-mail subscribers.

By the way to collect those subscriber e-mail addresses you need to
use a site like Aweber that offers auto-response systems as well as
the ability to collect your e-mail addresses from your subscribers.

a large e-mail customer list, but also a list that is based
