Marlon Sanders has been doing this business full time since 1998 and before. I think that date goes back to 1996. It’s a LONG time back to remember. I know that. And for the vast majority of that time, I’ve pretty much lived what’s called “The 4 Hour Work Week.”

Actually, I joke that I read the book and like it…until I realized that if I did what it said I’d have to work 3 more hours a week….

HA!

I’ve been more on like the 30 min. a day work week for years. Now, that is NOT hype. Let me tell you the 7 secrets of doing  it. But first, here is my “big commercial.” Here it comes…. If you want work discover how to make cash like clockwork, go to: Cash Like Clockwork

Now, those secrets:

Secret 1: You’ve gotta have leads that come in daily.

That means traffic to your web site. And it means that you get ‘em on your email list.

Even as I speak, I’m revamping our list getters on my web sites and running split tests to see what works best. But let me tell you something right here:

MYTH on squeeze pages — everyone teaches (including me) that you must have your action button above the fold of the computer screen on squeeze pages, so people don’t have to scroll down.

NOT TRUE.

I have a friend who gets 65%+ subscribe rate without that.

It’s ALL about the offer you make.

Secret 2: Once you get people on your email list, you gotta send out emails on auto pilot. That means you need an autoresponder. I recommend: http://www.automateyourwebsite.com You can try out the freebie TRIAL there.

Now, I’m using Aweber because I built a lot of my list a LONG  time ago and it’s a huge ordeal to change. But lots of  businesses have been built on automateyourwebite.com. This is a tested, proven system.

All new subscribers should get a series of emails from you that are your best product promotions. And add in valuable content also.

How I Started My Business At Home From Scratch Out of A 600 Square Foot Apartment With a 386 computer and a dot matrix printer… then grew it into a 6 figure auto-piloted income, discovered the Internet lifestyle is true — and traveled the world.

If you’re reading this article, you’re probably not a customer of mine yet.

My customers who have bought in the past 6 months and are.

So you wanna start from scratch and stick some dough in your bank account.

Hey, I don’t blame ya. You got bills to pay, a retirement to worry about. A mortgage payment. A car payment.

Whew! That doesn’t even include kids, gas and clothes. No wonder you wanna bring in some dough part time and possibly even full time on the Net.

I started in this business way way way back on AOL and Compuserve. I’d run a little freebie classified ad offering a report.

People would email me and I’d hand email them back. things weren’t very automated back then and they’ve thankfully come a very long ways.

But get this: I use the SAME formula today as I did back then and you can too.

I started out of a tiny 600 square foot apartment, where I barely had any room for books or courses. I had a little white wooden press board desk my friend Kelli gave me.

I had a 386 computer I bought from the Dax mail order catalog not to mention the dotmatrix computer. I must say I’m VERY happy to have a faster computer today.
