I am asked regularly how I am able to do so well with my Internet business when my list is just over three thousand names. That is tiny compared to what most marketers are working with. I was able to reach a 6 figure income before I had even a thousand names on my list. I believe my secret is that I truly connect with the people who have come to me to learn how to build an online business.

I answer their emails, provide regular teleseminars where I answer all questions, and create courses and products that help them to succeed. Just like when I was a classroom teacher, I take the responsibility for making sure each student has the tools they need to achieve their goals.

What is your experience with teachers and mentors online? Do people answer your emails and provide you with what you need to learn? Comment here and I will respond.

You may be wondering why it is so important to make money from your list from the very beginning. There are several answers to this, but the most important is that you must get into the habit of marketing to the people on your list from the very beginning, instead of waiting until some point in the future. If you have heard that you must have ten thousand people on your list before you can make any real money online, or some other specific number, this is just not true. The first time anyone said that to me, I was surprised and told him that it was a good thing I had never received that memo, because I had been making money from the time I had less than one hundred people on my list.

Getting into the habit of marketing every day, whether it is by sending an email to your list, writing and submitting an article to an article directory, holding a live teleseminar, or any of a hundred other worthwhile activities, will make a huge difference in how successful you will be in your Internet business. Making some money from your small list is excellent practice for when you will make lots of money from your big list in the future.
