This linking is important because if you don't do it, you'll never see your Internet marketing site online. Period. But no problem! We're going to fix that right now.

A server (or name server or or DNS) is a computer that translates into IP or . These are expressed in a series of numbers which other will understand. It makes things much simpler for us because instead of needing to type in series of numbers we can just type in coolwebsite.com and everything works.

But we have to tell servers where to find our websites, and because you just purchased your domain, you probably still have the registrar's name server (or nameserver) addresses, and in order for your website to be seen, you'll have to change them over to your hosting account. This won't be the case if you've purchased a hosting account where you got a free domain or two for perks of joining, but never base your hosting decision on that alone. (See article 2 in the Getting Started with Internet Marketing" series for more buying tips.)

For this exercise, let's say you're going to have a separate hosting account. You'll need to "point" your domain to your host's name servers so that when someone types in your domain, they'll land at your web site. So, at your domain registrar's site, navigate to where the name servers are located. It may just say "DNS." These are usually located near your domain listing or accessible through a link nearby your domains.

What you're going to find are two addresses and they'll look something like this: "ns1.yourregistrar.com" and "ns2.yourregistrar.com." Both of those addresses will have to be changed. Now, open a new tab or window and go to your hosting account. Look for "name servers," "nameservers, " or "DNS." Because these are sometimes hard to find, you may want to search for one of those terms.

When you find the hosting company's name server addresses, write them down or select and copy. Then, go to your domain registrar's tab or window and plug the new addresses in. That's it! You're done!

Though the Internet has become very fast and it can take only minutes to have these addresses changed, it can sometimes take a few hours. If it takes more than that, go back to the registrar and be sure that you entered the host's DNS addresses properly. (You may have entered .com when it should be .net, for instance.) If you haven't made a mistake, then call your hosting company's support department and find out what the problem is.

These are all things that people need to think about when they are , but sometimes we forget one of the most important things, how are we going to get our site on the internet?



No matter how great the web site you create is, it is meaningless if you do not get it out on the internet. So if you are going to get our web site on the internet, then you can either host it on a web server yourself, or get a to host it for you. If you are a large company that has an IT staff to setup the infrastructure to host a web site, then this is probably the best idea, because you have more control over the things that happen.



However, most people that create web sites do not have the money or the time to setup such an infrastructure. These people will have to get a web hosting company to host their web site. Here are a few things to consider when you try to pick a web hosting company that is right for you:

Space -- Some offer more space than others. If you are going to create a large web site, or you are looking to expand a lot in the near future, then the amount of space offered is very important.

Email Addresses -- If your web site is going to give away email addresses, or you need addresses for your users, then the amount of that you are given might be very important.

Database Access -- Some web hosting companies offer the ability to use a MySQL or to store information or authenticate against. This can be a very important fact to help make your web site more secure, or more dynamic.

This is the primary function of the domain name in the field of the internet. So, since the domain name and IP address are somewhat connected, I will be using the term "domain name IP address" in this article's sense. So please bear with me.

Ah, but what is a domain name IP address? Or, an IP address in general? For your information, the acronym IP stands for Internet Protocol. This is so called as domain name IP address for the reason that this is the of any domain on the internet. As it is commonly noted, domain name are much similar with . I am sure that you know that there is a common name listed in the that is associated with a long string of numerals pertaining to a specific telephone.

Aside from that, it is also interesting to know that speaking of the domain name IP addresses; others noted that the domain name IP addresses are like the that are applied to categorize the books in a library. As the library codes apply for you to know the title of a book to find in the library, the domain name IP addresses also function somewhat that way.

Essentially, a domain name IP address is a set of four numbers that are divided by dots. In particular, the domain name IP address looks like 203.23.56.166, and each one of these numbers can be between 1 and 255. Just like the mentioned function of the telephone numbers and the reference numbers in the library, the domain name IP address is said to be that important in the internet. For a computer machine to be able to be located by the other computers on the internet, it is important that it must have its own domain name IP address that is distinct than the others.

The primary intention for creating the system of domain name IP address is for the people to connect to other computers on the internet by just applying an easy to remember name instead of a particular IP address. So as result, it is therefore important that the domain name must have matching IP address for it to function correctly. This is also one of the best explanations that show how the domain name and IP address are connected. This explanation alone led to the association between the two and thus being identified as a domain name IP address. With the domain name IP address, you have the freedom to type either the domain name or the IP address into a web browser and you will definitely see the same page. It is for the reason that when you type a domain name into the web browser, the Internet Service Provider or ISP will then search the associated IP address in their Domain Name System server.

These lists have become very sought after and depending on your needs, very expensive.

The expense comes in if you are purchasing address lists with special criteria attached to them. The address lists can contain e-, postal addresses or both. The address lists that contain e-mail addresses that are not with or Yahoo tend to be more expensive. The reason for this is that Hot Mail and Yahoo block so many s coming into their subscribers. The American lists have also gotten more expensive due to the anti-spam laws. The people on the email address lists have in some way opt-ed onto the lists by purchasing something or placing their address on a form.

Address lists have been around for many years, long before the internet was established. The early lists were used by telemarketers as well as door to door sales men. Years ago the door to door sales men would exchange the and addresses of customers that they had with other salesman. This way they would have a place to start when going into a different territory. Today the development of the address lists is much more sophisticated. The lists are categorized by the person's interests, spending habits, what websites they have visited, what purchases that have been made and many other criteria. There are times when people know that they are adding their names to address lists. Examples would be requesting additional information from a website or about a product. There are other times when you have no idea that you are placing your personal information on a . The most common way of doing this is asking a person to sign up for a raffle. Whether people are signing up on the internet or at a booth at the local fair, no one thinks twice about placing their name, address telephone number and e-mail address on a raffle or sweepstakes entry. This information is then placed on an address list and sold.

If you are in business and are interested in purchasing address lists go with a reputable company. Ask other's in the business where they go for their lists. Remember if you are being offered hundreds of names and addresses the lists are most likely very general. You also have to be careful with the large lists that you do not get accused of spamming people.

When the appropriate time comes, you will probably be approached by at least one friend about a baby shower. This may be your from high school or the girlfriend you ran around with while still single. You may even be approached by relatives who want to throw a shower for you. Some people have multiple baby showers - one thrown by , one thrown by friends and one thrown by coworkers. No matter who throws the shower for you, you will need to think about whom to put on the guest list. Chances are, your aunt, best friend or coworker are not going to know everyone you would like to invite, so she is going to from you.

First, you will need to decide if you think you are going to have more than one shower. If you hear rumors of a family shower, you probably do not want to invite family members to your and;friendsandquot; shower. If you have coworkers that are also , you do not want to invite them to your andquot;friendsandquot; shower only to find out you are having a work related shower as well. So keep your ears open to try to find out as much as possible to avoid duplicate invitations. You can even ask people you are close to if you feel comfortable enough and explain to them why you are asking. It will not be the worst thing if Aunt Silvia has to tell you to hold off on inviting your best friend to the family shower andquot;just because.andquot;

Be sure to ask the shower host how many people can attend the shower. It may depend on where the shower is being held. Some people have their showers at their church so there is plenty of room and seating, but many people have them in their homes, so there may be a limited amount of space. You also do not want to overload your shower host's budget. She may be thinking you will invite fifteen people and you do not want to show up with a list of a hundred people. Remember that the shower invitations, decorations, and refreshments are going to cost your host money and you want to be respectful of her generosity in offering to throw you a shower.

Once you have an idea of what type of baby showers you are going to have, then you need to sit down and write out a list. You may want to jot down names on a sheet of paper before you start looking up addresses. You may even want to ask some other people whom you should invite. With all you have going on, chances are you may forget someone, so it will be useful to have another person helping you. You do not want to hurt anyone's feelings by unintentionally leaving them off the guest list.

After you get your list set, you will need to start gathering addresses. Actually giving your names and addresses to the host may best be done on the computer if you are comfortable using it. Many people already keep names and addresses in online address books, so giving your host your shower list may be as simple as printing the address list and checking the names of those you want to invite. If you do not have your addresses online, you can type them into a spreadsheet to give to your shower host. An online copy of addresses may come in handy depending on whether she is going to have addresses printed on envelopes, print address labels for the envelopes, or hand write the addresses on each envelope. No matter how she is going to do it, having a nice, clear copy of all names and addresses will be beneficial.

Finally, if you forget someone important on your list and feel badly about it, invite them out to a special one-on-one lunch with you. It will not be the same as being at the shower, but can help mend hurt feelings from being left out.

Have fun determining your baby shower list. Call a few of your closest friends, grab your old address books and have a good time reminiscing as you jot down names.

Didn't you notice that a small mailing list can give you a high response and a huge list can get a very, very low response rate? That is because it's not the number of emails on your list but the quality of the list that does really matter.

Although sending out magazines and newsletters to millions of addresses through is free, you cannot afford to risk your fair name by offending people. Your email address lists should only contain those that signify they want to receive email from you. Otherwise, your unsolicited advertising will be classified as . Plus, the cleaner your list is, more profits you will get.

Here are some tips how to maintain your mailing list clean and up-to-date:

1. Verify your targeted email list for bad and undeliverable before you send to it. You can use email validation software to do a list check. You can just search the Internet for an email address verifier tool to choose the one that suits your needs best.

2. Exclude bad email addresses from your list.

3. Manage bounces thoroughly. Not all bounced emails should be deleted from your list. Delete hard bounces. Hard bounce is when recipient rejects your email. Soft bounce is when your email accepted by recipient's mail server but bounced back because of reasons like is full, your message is large than receiving mail server upper limit etc. Try to send the messages a few times to soft bounced email addresses before you delete them. There is chance that the message will be delivered after several attempts.

4. Use double opt-in subscription method. This way you can make sure that the email address is valid and that the subscriber really wants to receive mail from you.

5. Delete unsubscribers. Always provide an easy way to unsubscribe. Before sending an email campaign, do a search for people who unsubscribed and delete them from your database.

6. Provide an option for subscribers to change their email address. Some list management software or services provide a link to your subscriber details and lists he opted for. From there your subscribers can change their email addresses and update their profiles.

7. Don't buy email lists. Most email addresses on those lists are collected by website email extractors and belong to people who didn't hear about you and don't expect any mail from you.

8. Avoid spelling errors. If you manually import your subscribers from your old list manager to the new one or from your helpdesk to your mailing list manager etc, be careful to type the email addresses in the right way.

9. Try to avoid free email accounts. It's a little hard to do though because nowadays people often use a free email account like hotmail.com, yahoo.com although they have their own domains. This is because they don't want to reveal themselves or they might be afraid that the owner of the list might send junk or spam to them.

If it's someone you see at the pub or at work, or can by phone, you can just ask them to give you their new address. If email is the only contact you have, however, it becomes a lot more difficult to stay in touch.

The internet has brought us tremendous freedom of communication and competition between internet providers and means that it's never been easier to run several or to change to a new address when you feel like it. Usually, you'll send out an email to let people know that you have a address, but it's not unusual for people to be missed off the list and lose your details.

You can try to see if they can pass the address on, or you can try reunion sites that you to get in touch with old friends from school, college, work, the forces or any other groups that you might have belonged to.

A wedding planner can also help you keep track of your guest list and their addresses. As you make your final guest list, you can record it in your planner.

How are you ever going to choose which company is right for your web site? The easiest way to choose between the different web hosting companies is to look at the different services they offer and choose which one is the best fit for your web site.

Most web hosting companies offer basically the same types of services, but some companies offer better quality services than others. One of the most important services to look for when choosing a is the amount of space they will give you. If you plan on creating a very large web site, then you need to make sure that the web hosting company you choose gives plenty of storage so that your web site has room to grow. Also many web hosting companies offer when you host your web site with them. This can be a great feature if you plan on giving out on your web site, or you need email addresses for employees in your company. However if you do not need many email addresses, then this is not a great service for you.

I believe one of the most important services that can set a web hosting company apart from other companies is the ability to create web sites that can use server-side code. Using server-side code will allow you to communicate with a database on their server, and dynamically make changes on the web site depending on what information is in that database. In this new age of Web 2.0, using server-side code to create a truly dynamic user- is essential.

But if there is one thing I've learned as the owner of an ezine, it is that the easy road is not always the one that brings you the best results. The problem with buying an email list is that none of the people on that list know who you are. When they receive an email from you, most likely they will just delete it without bothering to open it.

That is why it is so to build your own opt-in email list. Yes, creating a list from scratch is the more difficult and time-consuming solution, but at least it is a solution. Email lists rarely bring the desired results, so the money you spend on them might as well be flushed down the toilet.

Email marketing and isn't about blasting a bunch of strangers with sales pitches and information they don't want and didn't ask for. If you really want to achieve results with your email list, you need to build your own.

Here is a list of questions you need to ask yourself when building your email list:

Who is your and what do you have to offer them? What kind of relationship do you want with the recipients of your emailings? What method or methods will you use to collect email addresses? Web forms, registration or subscription forms, trade shows, telephone contacts and sales calls are all viable ways to get the email addresses of people who will be interested in what you have to offer.

Will your emails come in the form of ads, newsletters, deals and specials, company announcements and press releases, or discussion lists?

Will you handle the creative aspects of your mailings, such as copywriting and editing, or will you need a little help? Once you're ready to start building your list, use outside lists to help you get started. You can recruit opt-in list members by renting an opt-in list to send out an announcement.

However, just like everything else, preplanning and the right setup to create success are the things you will need to make it work for you and your e-business.

The first thing you want to be sure you don't do is get over-zealous. The one thing you need to avoid at all costs is .

Spamming is still used widely, but with the government establishing more restrictions and fines you don't want this to be a problem for you. The professional image of your site will also suffer if you send mail .

Spamming requires a database that contains a huge list of e-mail addresses set up so that the message can be delivered with one click.

The problem with it (aside from the governmental restrictions and associated fines) is that it irritates the recipients and kills the validity of your campaign, which in turn kills the factors that would motivate someone to refer your site.

You need to personalize by creating your website with personal appeal. You must see to it that your website makes your customers feel safe, secure and cared for.

E-mail is important, because it is going to be one of the most affordable ways to keep in touch with your customers.

The proper way to handle permission is to first let your customer know that you will not transmit their e-mail addresses to third party companies.

The next thing to do is to attach the need for their e-mail addresses to benefits they can receive.

For example: Coupons or discounts that are only available to members who receive e-. With each e-mail you send the viral marketing effect takes place.

So what can be done about it? What antispam procedures and software really work?

Spam filtering software is the first stop in your antispam campaign, but in some ways it's the easiest to subvert.

What this antispam tool does is tell your e-mail system to look for designated - sex, nude, porn, for example - and to eliminate the messages that contain these clue words. Of course, there are easy ways to get around these antispam tactics. Did you ever see a message that comes through with the word sex spelled s*e*x? Well, that asterisk method has circumvented your spam filter - or the spam filter of your Internet and e-.

The other problem with this filter is that you could miss . A friend, for instance, who might mail you that she was "sick of porn sites popping up" might have her message deleted because it contained the word porn.

Two upgraded versions of these antispam filtering products are Bayesian and heuristic filters, which try to identify offensive messages through recognition of phrases as objectionable. SpamAssassin by Apache is probably the best known example of heuristic filtering.

So what can be done about it? What antispam procedures and software really work?

ing software is the first stop in your antispam campaign, but in some ways it's the easiest to subvert.

What this antispam tool does is tell your e-mail system to look for designated - sex, nude, porn, for example - and to eliminate the messages that contain these clue words. Of course, there are easy ways to get around these antispam tactics. Did you ever see a message that comes through with the word sex spelled s*e*x? Well, that asterisk method has circumvented your spam filter - or the spam filter of your Internet and e-.

The other problem with this filter is that you could miss . A friend, for instance, who might mail you that she was "sick of porn sites popping up" might have her message deleted because it contained the word porn.

Two upgraded versions of these antispam filtering products are Bayesian and heuristic filters, which try to identify through recognition of phrases as objectionable. SpamAssassin by Apache is probably the best known example of heuristic filtering. What these filters are doing that the more basic ones aren't is looking at the message itself rather than the subject header.

Always remember to verify bulk email lists.

Errors In Bulk Email Lists

Bulk email lists are a list of a number of potential clients which is stored somewhere. Sometimes these bulk email lists are correct and sometimes there are errors in the email addresses. For example !yummy.com or digger@yummy.con are two of errors in writing the email address. Some of these erroneous addresses get added to our lists as well. In such instances mailings to there addresses "."

Types Of Email

There are two types of email bounces.

The hard bounce -- These are messages that can never be delivered. Sometimes there is an when the subscriber is opting into your list. Messages to such email boxes never reach. Sometimes the subscriber is no longer using the email address with which they into your list.

The soft bounce -- These are messages that can be delivered at a later time. They are caused by the recipient's mailbox being full.

It is a good idea to unsubscribe hard and soft bounces from the mailing list after a set number of bounces. It is a good idea to keep the toleration limit for hard bounces as two and soft bounces as eight. After this number of bounces, you must clean up the addresses that are bouncing.

There are reasons that bouncing emails must be deleted. If they are not, you waste a lot of time going through emails that are bounces. It is a waste of valuable time.

Another reason is that you can get into real trouble if not deleting "bounce" emails. This is one way to identify spammers. If repeatedly sending messages to a "dead" email id, you could have a problem with the ISP that is receiving those messages. These are the reasons that it is important to verify bulk email lists.

Managing Subscribe And Unsubscribe Requests

It is essential to manage all unsubscribe as well as subscribe requests. This is especially important if your users are not automatically subscribed or unsubscribed. If unsubscribe requests are not immediately dealt with your mail may be treated as spam. You may find yourself in trouble with your ISP. On the other hand, all subscribe requests are potential customers and must be added to your mailing list immediately. Verify bulk email lists regularly for this reason.

Remove Duplicated Addresses

Remove addresses that have been inadvertently duplicated. Doing this ensures that your mails are not sent to the same prospect twice. This can be very irritating for a prospect.

Segment Your Subscribers

When you verify bulk email lists remember to segment your subscribers. Personalize your message to each one of them. You will be surprised at the difference in response using this method.

Newbies, you must go after them now. This is your bread and butter. It's also called your list. Call it what you like, you must get your own list.

Do not on this one. Immediate action is required. Focus your early efforts on acquiring your very own optin list. You'll be well on your way to surviving on the internet if you do the following:

Provide Something Free And Of Perceived Value

Information products are the easiest and least expensive way for you to go. Isn't information what the internet is all about? That settles it then. An Information product it will be.

It must be something of value. It could be a special report on . An informative email course on the various moods of a dissatisfied wife, (maybe not that topic, but an email course ). Go ahead and write a few related articles. Use them to compile an ebook and give that away free. You see were I'm going with this don't you?

A Free Swap

We've finally decided to write a special report on "How To Start A Home-Based Business." It's a great topic. Investigating it will help you as a newbie. Hold on now, the special report is free, yes.

But let's not just give it away. Use it to get something, like names and email addresses? Glad you suggested that. We'll dangle the special report like a carrot. If anyone wants it, they can have it free of charge. But they must give their name and email address for it.

Building The Most Important Ingredient-Trust

Make sure the special report is chuck full of helpful information. That's vitally important. Your reputation depends on it. Consider this.

Someone gave you information that helped your family. Maybe it even saved you time and money. Then next week your has another email from them. What? Are you going to delete the email? Of course not! It may contain more helpful information.

That's trust-building. Let's say you purchased a product from the internet. That product turned out to be fantastic for your family. It helped you automate the many chores of a busy household.

Remember now, you're still a newbie at this. You don't as yet own your own product, but you're close. Here's what you do. That fantastic product that helped your family so much, become an affiliate of that product.

Affiliate Programs

Its usually free to sign up as an affiliate. The program would give you an affiliate ID. They also give you tools like banners and text ads to help you drive traffic to sell their product.

You're one up though. You've been doing your homework. You already have an optin list of your own. You can and probably should learn to use that stuff. It will give you another option for getting traffic. You shouldn't put all your eggs into one basket.

All of the previous tips come down to this. That fantastic product that helped your family, remember it? You're now an affiliate for it right? Yes...the one which gives you $25 every time you make a sale?

Tell your 350 names and addresses you have captured with the special report about this great product. Let them know how this awesome product helped your family. Make suggestions for them to purchase this great product.

They may live alone, fine. Suggest that they buy it for their next door neighbor or maybe for their grand children. You can do this. If 40 people on your list of 350 purchase the product, you have made a cool $1,000.

Understand now why it is crucial for you to get a list? What are you waiting for? Get cracking on your list. All the best. The names and email addresses that you capture are priceless. But they are nothing without mutual trust and respect. Wy Williams has worked hard on his list.

You may now go for another very innovative way to avoid spam. It is called "disposable e mails".

The basic methodology by which these disposable e es work, is that after it receives a certain amount of , it automatically destructs itself. It might set you wondering whether this means that you have to keep on changing your e all the time. This is where the disposable e mail address add value. After you opt for a disposable e mail address, you are given one with a specific user name. your address depends on the user name.

You will then give your e mail service provider some , which enables the provider to send you mails only from those sources you approve of. These keywords are based on their names or whatever you choose. So when you give your e mail address to someone from whom you like to receive mails, it will contain those keywords in the address, so as to allow them to enter your inbox. All other mails reach your other e mail address which goes through constant change for you to view them. If you ignore them for some time, they get automatically deleted.

This unique e mail , though keeps on changing, you can access it through your user name and password. By using this tool, you can always ignore the spams and not worry about them again. Of all the methods available, which wages a war against spam, this happens to be my favorite. This service of course dos not come free but it costs the same amount of money s you would be spending for your paid e from the ISP. Since it saves you the worry of constantly worrying whether your computer is gong to crash because of spam, and you don't have to spend endless hours sifting through the junk mail, I feel this is a cost worth incurring.

Spam is a serious problem. It is important today as never before because almost every other email message we receive is Spam. So, the question arises how spammers get your email address and why they send you Spam. Spammers can obtain your email address in three ways.

One way is to guess a mailbox name for a publicly listed domain name. Many organizations have the where the first part of the email address is a general word such as "info", "sales", "accounts", "support", etc. People often use the email addresses beginning with their first name, for example, John, Sandra, Julia. Spammers simply put the first names before the @ symbol followed by a domain name, and get possible email addresses.

Secondly, spammers can gather email addresses from the Internet. They use programs that search web pages looking for email addresses. If there is your contact email address in your web site, or if the email address is embedded into your profile, your email address will be obtained by spammers. The third way to get your email address is to lists. Some dishonest companies can make money by selling the customer's information to spammers. Spammers can also bribe unscrupulous employees of companies to get a copy of the .

Once spammers got a list of the victims' email addresses, they start spamming. They do it to make money. In general, there are two kinds of :

1.Offering trashy and fraudulent goods or services (e.g. Viagra, Cialis, medications, , software programs, etc.)

2.Stock scams working on "Pump and dump" schemes. Spammers encourage you to invest in a particular company's stock, in order to quickly inflate its value and enable the spammers to make a fast profit.

By sending their undesired messages spammers have for an object to contact thousands or even millions people in the hope to hit one or a few dolts who actually will buy their crappy products. No dolts, no spam. But out of a million people, you will always find one or two.

Most of the Internet protocols that computers use to talk to each other are anonymous. Your email server thinks that any email server connecting to it over the Internet is giving its name properly and that the email it sends is legitimate. Spammers abuse this trust relationship to send you their garbage. The Internet protocols cannot be changed in a moment so we need another solution to the problem of spam.

Legislative attempts produced no effect. It's not easy to track a spammer located in USA sending spam using a mail server from Russia to mailboxes in Australia. Spammers are also known to use Trojans to hijack one's computer and make that person send spam on behalf of the spammer. The "victim" doesn't even guess about it. These people would be caught up in any comprehensive Spam legislation.

However that may be you can take some measures to protect your inbox against spam flow by yourself. There is a wide choice of anti-spam products available on the Internet. You only have to choose the right one to block Spam before it reaches your inbox. There is no guarantee that you will get absolutely no Spam but at least you will reduce its amount.

The advantage of a firewall is that it prevents other types of unauthorized access to your computer, beyond pop up spam. Neither approach will stop sent to your browser by a Web page you are visiting.

Prevent Spams!

Remove your e from your website. If you list or link to your , you can expect to be spammed.

Address-harvesting robots will spider your site and extract them. So remove them wherever possible and use web-based forms instead. This will drastically cut down the amount of spam you receive if you have a website.

We MUST Stop Spams!

So too it is with our internet. We, not the senders, are paying for our connection, our disk space, our computers. These s are thus stealing services from US! Why do you think the courts awarded AOL over Sitxy Thousand dollars in damages for the spam Cyberpromo kept sending them? Other court cases have also awarded users and service providers substantial sums of money for trespass and conversion.

How does the spammer get my e-mail address?

The spammer can acquire e- through a variety of means. These may include harvesting them from websites, purchasing them from third parties who compile such information, or simply using "dictionary attacks" - using software to try out all possible combinations of letters, common names and words in e-mail addresses. An e-mail spammer can buy a list of e-mail addresses from a list broker, who compiles it by harvesting addresses from Internet websites. If your e-mail address appears in a newsgroup posting, on a website, in a chat room, or in an online services membership directory, it may find its way onto these lists.

We must object, each and every one of us, to form a legitimate tide of opinion, to form a legitimate tide of complaint mail flooding the service providers each and every time they allow these spammers to foul our private information footpaths and despoil our data back yards.

1. You need to have a domain name and paid hosting no matter what you are doing online -- whether selling your own products or you are an . This will prove so crucial in your online success.

2. The next step and which is very crucial is to collect names and of visitors to your site. This is one of the reasons that I mentioned . Without your own site, you are not going to be able to do this .

Do not try to sell to your people from the first time they see your website. Tell them about the benefits of the products or service that you are selling and them request them to leave their names and email addresses so that you can contact them with more info. This is achieved by use of what is called a page. An example is to be found on this site -- http://www.MakingMoneyng.com Notice how they entice you to leave your name and email address.

3. Once you collect of people interested in what you are selling and follow them via use of what is called autoresponders, you are going to make sales which are credited to your account. You get the agreed percentage depending on the program. Just keep promoting and as your subscribers, those who give you their info increases, you are going to make sales. The statistics remember is 100:1, so do not be discouraged if the sales do not seem to be coming fast. But once it starts to come, you can be sure it will keep coming.

4. Once you have your website and have set it up to collect names and email addresses, I will say you are ready for the journey to make money online. The next stage now is to promote, promote and promote some more. Just keep promoting your site. It may be slow at the beginning, but before you realize it, the will set it. You will see people coming to your site and leaving their names and emails. But one thing I need to stress here is that it is not enough to collect the emails, you need to be able to turn the people into buyers by following up with them. You need to send them follow up messages highlighting the benefits only of what you are selling. This can be done by use of what is called an autoresponder. I use http://www.aweber.com for this.

If you follow the above four steps, I assure you that you can not fail to make money online, no matter how small. You will make money for sure, but the size depends on you and the value of what you are selling.

I just outline a four simple process to your online success. What it requires is action, but it can be done. Most people are doing this everyday and reaping the benefits. Without Action, nothing will happen.

So I urge you to put always whatever you learn online into practice. That is how the success will come.
