Now that you have gone through all of this work in step 1 and 2, you still do not have a profit in hand.

Why not?

Because the step that will generate the actual sales and profit is the third and final step in your internet marketing plan.

You’ve arrived at the most important step in our strategy – you’re finally going to send out your email marketing message.

Here’s your internet marketing strategy in a nutshell:

1. Potential customers find you, your products or services on the web.
2. They allow you to contact them and send them emails.
3. You provide them with information they can use and benefit from, through email, and keep your business in front of them all the time. (Today’s topic.)
