Let me share something with you that is at the heart of online 
marketing, offline marketing and successful interpersonal 
relations...                  


Here it is...

Hit people where they are... not where you wish they were!

Safe Lists work... but you have to promote safelists to them.

Now if you would like to know which safelists work best please 
check out the Traffic Hoopla link at: 
http://www.optimum-marketing-solutions.com/traffic.htm and while 
there please download the free ebook on effective marketing to 
safelists.

Traffic Exchanges work... but you have to promote traffic 
exchanges to them.

Note: Traffic Hoopla is also the place to go to find out which 
of the traffic exchanges work best. Again, you can find the link 
to that site at:

Forums always worked... but you can dominate them by giving 
forum surfers a tool as the one that you can get free at our 
confirmation page when you sign up for our ezine.

The best way to get people into good communication with you is 
to match their tone, do what they are doing, don't introduce 
something new and exciting and different and expect broad 
appeal because it will stand out primarily as something new and 
different that they don't feel totally comfortable with. Even in 
history, you will find that people who changed thier cultures 
were mainly combining things that were familiar and popular in 
a unique way... not introducing something completely new and 
different. Elvis Presley comes to mind. But we can talk about 
that another time. But even the derivation of the word art 
indicates a joining together in unique ways of something 
already there, in order to create something new

The important point here is be real to people, HELP them do what 
they are already trying to do and they will communicate back 
with you, sign up for your ezine, etc. - maybe even become a 
friend or business associate!

First thing that you have to do is to find out what people need 
and want. It's called surveying.

A survey can be of a massive number of people or just one. Don't 
assume that you already know because you can't possibly know. 
Until you actually ask them you won't know. And you will be 
surprised, when you ask them, to find that it might have been 
something that you never would have thought of.

Enjoy the adventure of allowing yourself to be surprised and 
enlightened rather than just going on your own conjecture. You 
will have fun and achieve greater success!

Once YOU become something familiar, you can introduce something 
a little more original. But you have to build that relationship 
first.

That is all that I have for you today. I really want to make sure
you get this point. It will make a difference if you apply it. 

Best,
