Factor One ? The Art Of Copywriting. Copywriting is essential to your success online. Without the power of persuasion, you'll have very little luck getting people to buy your product, join your affiliate program, or even read your ad.



Here are some simple steps for becoming a better copywriter.

* Spend 1 to 2 hours a day copying by hand the greatest sales letters on the net. By doing this, you'll automatically train your brain to create great copy.

* Create a swipe file of the greatest sales letters to use as examples when you create your own sales letters and ads.

* Get to know your customer like your best friend. Learn their needs and desires, their fears and what their hot buttons are.

Factor Two ? Obtain a Great Product. Information products are the best online because of the low cost, usually free to create and ship them. If you don't feel comfortable creating your own product, you can always sell resell rights. Just search around until you find some that are worth selling. Start with low cost ones and sell higher ticket items to customers that you established rapport with.

Whether you have an ezine, a marketing course, or just a free report it's essential to get your visitors email address. It takes up to seven times for most people to see an offer before they act. You need to follow up. It also is much easer to make a sale from people that you established a relationship with.
