    1. Brand yourself...everywhere.

    2. People want to believe...no matter what they say...they want to believe and hope for a better life...*Powerful Emotion but Don't Abuse*

    3. Adswaps are great in small quantity...but overdone they can kill your business in a few weeks time.

    4. Creating products and establishing a buyer/customer relationship with your list will make them happier, click more of your emails, and make your life a ton easier.

    5. Create videos...training (screen capture vids) or just talking (record yourself on a web cam having a "chat" with them).

    These 5 things I learned the hard way this year...and 2011 will be completely geared toward targeting them and being the best at them.

    Cheers,

    Brad

    I think I really learned a lot this year. I learned how to manage work and creating this whole crazy opt in list, write emails, learn from the forums and simply have fun.

    I am in the army right now, serving my nation to protect the rights of all citizens. But that doesnt mean I cannot build a passive business that will provide for me and my family in the future.

    So far, the progress has been good but slow. But the dream of financial freedom is thriving in me.

      The best things I have learned.

      Number 1.... I have learned how to find potential buyers from my list of subscribers.

      Number 2... I have learned that upsells and downsells are where my
      real profits come from.

      Number 3... I have learned that it is more important to focus on the conversion of my products than it is on forusing on getting more traffic.

      If I can increase my conversions, I need less traffic.

      The best think I've learned this year even if it seems too simplistic is to:
      Ask people what they really want on a regular basis.

      Physically going out of the way and talking to people about their biggest challenges at something by having online surveys targeted to my list, forums, or direct traffic to a survey page on niche I'm trying to dig deeper to understand. The better I understood the pain points of my audience, the easier it became to provide the right solutions.

    Setup income streams on autopilot. I learned just how valuable they can be when you have a health crisis that takes you away from your online business for several months.

      in the year of 2010, I have learned that social networking is very important. I have my foot into so many projects right now that I feel almost complete. I don't feel like I'm maxed out, and I don't feel like I'm not doing enough. I've seen the reward of my efforts and my financial investment's. Its always amazing to find people with the same hobby as you, the hobbies of "making money" and "starting new business."

    How to host and run webinars effectively. Webinars are such a powerful tool that yield very high conversions if done properly and are great for selling higher-ticket products especially, and can also be turned into great video products to be resold afterward.

    I just started my carrier as a Junior Internet Marketer. I was new in this year. So, everything that I know is learned from this year. I learned how to get back-links, visitor, project and client. How to handle project. What client may except from you. How are you responsible for your client. I built a professional network of my friends in the same field for helping each other better.
