Dear Friends,

Everyday, the world is getting smaller, as online communications continues to expand.

I’ve discovered that working S.M.A.R.T.E.R. and with integrity, is by far the most rewarding way to succeed in Internet marketing. You too will work “S.M.A.R.T.E.R.” when you focus on the seven keys to success and set personal goals that are:

Specific. Measurable. Attainable. Relevant. Timely. Effective. Reviewed

My intent in this book is to share honest accounts and valuable insights that will prompt you to contemplate what Internet marketing is all about. You will understand how I faced my fears, and how I walked a path of truth to restore my dreams.

A year ago, I started my online adventure by purchasing an Internet direct-selling business. Without sounding too preachy, I can honestly say that this online business has immense potential—both personally and professionally. The confidence and knowledge I have learned along the way have opened new horizons for me. The work itself, and the people I engage with, have encouraged me to find my voice—and, more important, the artist within me.

Today, I swear by the online marketing industry. I love it. The fact that I haven’t made my first million excites me even more. I know I am on track.

I recommend this business to my friends and family—on one condition: They strip away their prejudices about Internet marketers. It is a lot to ask, but anyone entering this industry, has to be willing to get beyond their doubts and scepticism. As in so many areas of life, the world of online marketing thrives on positive attitude. Negativity kills creativity and zaps energy. While it is true that online business is fast and can be difficult for many to succeed, lacking confidence in your own abilities or in the potential of the business will block you from success.

When I first started the business, I longed for someone to guide me through the twists and tangles of the Internet as a marketing tool. It did not come that easy. So, instead, I compiled my own “guide” during the past twelve months. I now make this guide available to you—including twenty steps and personal tips on everything I should have known before I started. My hope is that reading about my experience and learning my “20 Tips” will launch you on the right road to your own successful home-based Internet business. Read and enjoy.
