With this said, the method of business building that has worked for decades and maybe even centuries is to build a prospect list, so lets talk about an opt-in or prospect list for a minute so you can realize the value of this aspect of your business. No, the Internet has not been around for decades or centuries, but a prospect list is just as important to traditional businesses as it is for online businesses. Your prospect list can be a goldmine. You can buy leads and send them a message directing them to what is called a capture or landing page. (This is simply a page where you give prospects a little bit of information and the goal is to get them to agree to receive additional emails from you)

You dont even have to wait until you have a product to start building your prospect list. Everyone has a story to tell and you can start telling your story to people so they can learn from your mistakes and expertise. Not everyone has the marketing experience I have, so I can offer my expertise in this area. You might have a background in accounting or painting, or collecting old bottles. So you use that information to form a bond with others on the Internet with similar interests. Remember, when you are dealing online, you are dealing with nearly a billion people and out of a billion people there will be thousands who have similar interests to you.

Make every day count. Do something every single day toward building your list. The best way to ensure your success online is to build your prospect list. Stop waiting for people to contact you and go out and find them yourself.

Build your own prospect list! I don’t care if you are promoting dildos, paper clips, can openers or socks with holes. Without a prospect list, you are dead in the water. You cannot buy a prospect list, you have to build it yourself. You can buy leads, but you have to get those leads to give you their name, email and other personal information which gives you permission to send emails to them and then you send updates, announcements, special offers, etc.

You don’t blast them with an ad a day, you don’t blast them with the latest and greatest product or service; you don’t blast them with anything! You nurture them and educate them on who you are and how you can help them and you build trust in them. You make sure you have answers to their questions and you support them however you can. Eventually, they are going to buy something from you because you have gained their trust and you are there to support them. You cannot make money overnight and you cannot build a prospect list overnight. It takes time, it takes patience and it is going to take some money.

Sending people to your affiliate sales page so they subscribe to get information from the company you are selling for is not the same as building your own prospect list. You need to have 100% control over your prospects and not leave this to someone else. For this you will need an Ad-free Autoresponder and a landing page so people can subscribe to get more details from you. This gives you total control and then you can do as we mention above and start educating and getting to know your prospects.

I have spent many sleepless nights trying to find some way to earn money online without spending cash first, my mistake was overlooking adsense's earning potential. Adsense works by inserting ads to a website through javascript injection to your HTML code, it will read the page contents and try to display ads that are relevant. When someone except you, clicks on the ads with your adsense ID you will get money creditted to you depending on how much the advertiser pays.

I have earned some money through adsense by placing my adsense ID on ad revenue sharing forums such as kingofdollars.com and forums.digitalpoint.com, but there are more places where you can basically earn with adsense without ever having a website of your own. I found this blog where several adsharing sites are listed, he has some nice articles to read about too.

To get an adsense account you need to register at http://google.adsense.com it will not cost you anything to register. If you do not have your own website like me there is a way to get an adsense account through www.blogger.com, it takes about 1-2 days for your adsense account to be activated.

Once you have your account activated you can already start placing your ID anywhere you want that is allowed by the adsense TOS, be sure to follow their guidelines and make sure you would not break any of their rules or you will get your account banned, and once your account is banned it is lost forever along with whatever earnings you had with it.
