For more details www.squeeze-page-profits.com.What's a solid business plan? For starters, you need to map out what you plan to do from beginning all the way to the final step. That includes what you're going to create or promote, how you're going to promote it, how you're going to follow up and so on. There are experts in the area of developing a business plan. Find one. Make a plan. You'll thank me for doing it.

C - Communication. Like it or not, this whole business comes down to communication. Your sales copy, your email ads, you autoresponder followups, even your support emails to and from customers. If you can't effectively communicate with people, you're going to have a very hard time selling to them. Developing killer writing skills does take time, but if you put in the effort, you'll find that it will reward you many times over.
