Several times each week I get an email saying, "Help! There are so many things I need to do in my business, what is the most important to make me a success online?"

Choosing a focus can sometimes be tough.

Online you have to be a customer service rep, a graphic designer, a writer, a shipping clerk, programmer, copywriter, publisher and sometimes even an electrician.

And that’s just before noon.

So, once you have your imperfect site and product up for sale online, how can you make a profit? Simple - Focus on three things-in this order:

1. List Building

No matter what your product, market niche, search engine position or traffic; list building should be your main concern. Here’s why: Once you have a list you can generate traffic and sales any time you choose. If sales are slow you can create huge sales surges just by sending a 5-minute email. If a new product comes out, you can let everyone know about it in minutes and have sales pour in.

A solid list is better than money in the bank. To get four tools for building your own list, go to:

2. Recruiting, Training and Motivating Affiliates

While time consuming, this can be incredibly profitable. One solid affiliate relationship can generate tens of thousands of dollars in sales. Locate, find and recruit affiliates and you will likely see consistent profits as a result.

3. Search Engine Position

While not as "absolute" as having your own list, being at the top for a number of your best search terms can be a real life saver. Search engine traffic can provide you with a constant flow of sales and profits.
