One thing I always worry about when I hear that someone wants to start their own online endeavor is how concerned they are about achieving their financial goals.  Some people just want to make a couple of extra bucks to supplement their regular income, and others dream of the fancy cars and mansions that you see in every infomercial and most spam emails.

Many people have that goal of making 6 figures a year from their online business.  Now, it may not seem like a lot to you, but for many people, making 6 figures a year is more than enough for a comfortable living.  I’m not talking about driving around in a Ferrari or owning a 10,000 square foot house, no way.

I’m talking about living comfortably with your bills paid off, except for maybe your mortgage.  Now, that’s not to say that you can’t make enough online to drive around in a Ferrari, but most people won’t.  And too many get discouraged when they realize that they will never see that lofty goal.

But 6 figures?  Now that’s a goal that is very, very achievable.

Let’s break it down, shall we?

• 6 figures a year means, at a minimum, $100,000 a year.  I’m going to avoid discussing whether that figure is gross or net right now, just to keep the peace.  For now, let’s just assume that $100,000 a year is your gross income.  Once you see the numbers, you can see how to make that your net income.
• $100,000 a year is roughly $8,333 in monthly income.  Still sound too high?  Wait a sec…
• $8,333 a month is roughly $277 a day.  $277 a day.

OK, so now let’s get more realistic.  In order for you to make $100,000 a year in your business, you just need to make $277 a day. That’s 6 copies of a $47 ebook, training course, video series or some other product that you create or someone creates for you.

That’s about 9  $33 CPA leads that you generate through a website, email campaign, survey site, or some other means.

Or, there may be some other way that you can make that money online.  Maybe you design websites.  Maybe you can write articles.  Maybe you can produce audio for someone else.  Maybe you have ad space on your blog/website that can bring in that income.  Or maybe it’s a combination of several different income streams that gets you to that $277 a day point.

Regardless of how you get there, know this.  The goal is within sight.  It’s not some pie in the sky dream that is only achieved by people that you think are smarter than you.  Number 1, you can achieve it; Number 2, they’re not smarter than you.  No way.

So, how are you going to start making your $277 a day?  Or maybe you just want to start with $100 a day?

But the fact of the matter is that it is hard to achieve, let alone maintain, especially for new internet marketers and website owners.

Do not let this stop you from realizing your goals. You should be able to cleverly utilize all obtainable techniques to drive traffic to your website. There are lots of ways, and one of them is to build a long lasting relationship within the World Wide Web’s vast community. In this article we will discuss two of them:

Relationship Building with Customer

The credit should go to e-mails, because since its conception the communication practice hasn’t been the same. Whether existing or would be customers, you should always try to communicate with them in such a way that they will feel important and not stalked. It is advisable to adhere to the best practices in achieving that much needed website traffic and traffic conversion. By all means, try to avoid spam e-mails, which will only result to receiving hate e-mails, or even crashing the website’s internal e-mail system.

An average user has at least two to four e-mail accounts, and they log in more than five times in a day. It is not surprising that before anything else some of them reach first for the mouse to check for incoming e-mails every morning. That alone translates to exceptional probabilities for website owners. To utilize the e-mail to catch the attention of prospective customers and to build a powerful long lasting relationship with the existing ones will definitely drive traffic to your website.

Towards the end of each day, e-mail does not only change our routines, it also has an impact of the very way we communicate. A marketing technique that uses e-mail promotions will give you a chance to get to know your customers. Moreover, you achieve visibality into the type of content that customers are interested in, and by providing these contents you are developing a progressive customer online relationship.

Relationship Building with other Websites

Other websites in reality are also your competitors, especially if you provide the same products and services or if you have similar contents, but as the saying goes - “No Man is an Island”. Even in this cut-throat world of “who-gets-it-first”, relationship building is still essential.

It would surprise you that building relationships with other website owners can drive traffic to your website. But also keep in mind that you just do not build your relationship with just any other website, you should always bear in mind that there should be a level of similarity in the content that both websites provide.

At the end of each day, relationship building is all about the quality of the content that your website provides, it is more than just backlinks and page ranks, and oftentimes that is what some people tend to forget.
