Capture Leads and Build a High Quality List
Beth's web site has several places where she asks her users to sign up for her e-zine. To some businesses the sign up box and pop up might seem a bit overkill, but in truth Beth is doing a very smart thing.  Most people visit your web site never to return. Beth's site is structured for the permission based capture of email addresses. The only people who sign up are those that are interested. Are you doing something to actively capture visitor information?

Many Internet marketers are caught up on the size of their mailing list. Beth's list is comparatively modest in size, but very high in quality. She emphasized her desire to create the highest quality list possible. Most of her list growth has occurred over the course of the last year. Beth sends out an e-zine every two weeks to her subscribers with relevant high quality information. The e-zine helps Beth build relationships with her customers and potential customers.  Always remember that trust and credibility are huge factors for any web site looking to sell a product or sell services.

• Are you engaging in lead generation on your web site?
• Do you currently have an e-zine?
• If not, can you provide useful information to your subscriber base on a regular basis?
• Provide way more information than sales pitch in your e-zines.

Be Passionate!
One point that Beth really emphasized was the need to be passionate about your work. If you love what you are doing it helps to drive your business and your success. The only point I might add is don't get discouraged. A number of my friends who have for their own businesses tend to get discouraged far too easily.  Some of the biggest success isn't always found by working hard, but by being persistent with the right things. In many cases the right things are so simple that many people don't consider them important.

• Stay tenacious about your passions and let it drive your work.
• Turn your failures into lessons, the more you fail the more you learn.
• There are only so many times you can fail before you get it right.

Make sure you take the time to consider some of the points presented above and visit Beth's web site.  The advice might seem overly simplistic but it work wonders when implemented. Thanks again to Beth for her time and all the great insight that she provided. Beth's tremendous success was originally brought to my attention by my friend Nancy Roberts of iNsights PPS, so my thanks also goes out Nancy.
