After an Internet Marketer has earned a few bucks they start looking around to see how they can get more bang for the buck.
Or rather it’s the other way round – more bucks for the bang of your effort.
This is when they start to realise that list-building is “the secret” to a more sustained and steady income.
And then there’s a secret inside that secret…
And that is Membership Programs or Membership Sites.
Just having a hundred people in your membership can give you a full time income…and then think of continuing the traffic to your optin page and increase the membership to several hundred…or several thousand.
This is a more advanced strategy and not for the beginner what ever the sales pages say!
But is a stage that you come to – it is a stage where you have created your “business system” and you can virtually walk away and it runs itself.
This is a powerful method of providing yourself with “Continuity Income”. All the beginners on the Internet are looking for “passive income”. Well here it is but the price to pay is the learning curve of marketing knowledge to get there.
Next is an article by an expert marketer with his…
Dear Web Business-Builder,
Back in the Pleistocene era … when I was selling subscription-based data networks — where my customers were spending up to $100,000 a month (sometimes more) with the companies I represented — losing a customer was a HUGE deal.
I had the most profitable portfolio of business, largely because I kept customers longer than anyone else. My employers found me annoying and troublesome … but they tolerated me for this reason. Read more on List Building to Build a Membership…

Expertise comes in many shapes.
You could be an expert writer, coder or designer or you could be an expert at sales or marketing – Dean’s point is that your expertise will win when pitted against those with less skill.
As an ex college teacher I agree. It has puzzled me that so many people in Internet Marketing seem to believe in “Lady Luck” and not in education.
They spend months, years and lots of hard earned money on products and systems that make big promises…mostly along the lines of, “We’ve found a loophole…” or “We have a ‘Turn Key’ Solution” or some other variety of nonsense.
The truth is that effectiveness in any field is limited by our skill set and mind set. To be more effective and earn more we either have to learn extra skills or team up with someone who has the skill we lack.
And of all the skills we need online the major one is list-building. Having the skill of being able to send an email and earn more money than most folks earn in a month seems exactly what most would be entrepreneurs would give their right arm for.
And that’s why Kathy Baker – an expert business coach and myself, an expert teacher and trainer created a programme – called “Expert List-building” that focuses on building your opt-in list.
So we agree with the “Dean” – “Terry Dean” – to be exact, “Expertise Equals Income” and we advise newcomers to Internet business to put list-building at the heart of their efforts.
Learn the skills and mindset needed…
And then YOU can send the email…that earns a monthly salary.
That’s what I call “a passive income”
