List Building – The importance of having a list and nurturing your list is something I had neglected for years.

Hello my name is Jes Guzman and I’ve been helping newcomers and beginning Internet Marketers in creating and developing their very first Web Presence the correct way and the successful way.

When I first started surfing the web and looking for any business opportunities that came my way, I simply thought that signing up as an affiliate for a product with a “FREE” website was all it took. WRONG!!!

Many people think that by becoming an affiliate of a product, with a cool looking site, and then killing yourself trying to bring traffic to it, will bring in huge profits - 123. Maybe that might have been the case about 10 years ago, only if you promoted ‘till your fingers fell off or spent a fortune on sophisticated software.

Internet Marketing today simply just doesn’t work that way. You need to educate, understand and then implement what you have learned from someone who is already doing it successfully and follow a proven process that really works.

You can literally spend weeks, months and even years, like I did when I first started, trying to learn everything and wind up with “INFORMATION OVERLOAD” I was so bombarded with so much information I didn’t know if I was coming or going. I was looking for a way to get rich quick and then listening to “get rich quick” hype that to this day is still stalking the Internet every where you look.

I was actually shocked when I found out that about 97% of people that are marketing on the Internet are doing it the wrong way. They join an affiliate program that sounds too good to be true before even doing a little research on the product or the company. They're all excited about getting their "FREE" site, which looks great and professional but don't actually educate themselves first to learn the "PROCESS" of marketing correctly. I was even more shocked when I realized that I fell into that 97% bracket and didn't even know it.

I cannot stress enough how many people out there just don't have a clue as to what they are doing on the Internet. Not understanding is the reason why so many fail at this "Internet Thing" and just get frustrated and end up quitting. They never learn about the "PROCESS" or if they do, they don't implement what they learn and don't apply these skills or even end up doing absolutely nothing about it.

As I mentioned before, it is educating, understanding and implementing a successful process that will not make you rich over night but realistically develop and grow in a natural and organic way.

Following this process will not only enable you to start making money online, but will teach you skills you thought were never possible to achieve and also have fun doing it along the way.

There’s enough of the Internet Pie for everyone as long as you do it correctly, follow the process and nurture your list!
