And, like King Arthur’s knights, you end up using the wrong strategies and taking the wrong paths. Frustrated and disillusioned, you either give up or you keep on keeping on.

I put together the thirty Profits Explosion Tips below to help you avoid some of the pitfalls I ran into on my way to finally understanding what it takes to profit on-line. So let’s get started now!

Profits Explosion Tip #1 -Trade other forms of advertising with people who link to your web site. You could trade e-zine ads, print ads, autoresponder ads, classified ads, e-book ads, etc. It doesn't always have to be link for link or e-zine ad for e-zine ad. Just make sure it's a fair trade for you.

Profits Explosion Tip #2 - Swap articles with other e-zines publishers. You could get your articles published more often if, in exchange, you publish their articles. If they are hard negotiators, maybe you could offer to run two of their articles to one of yours.

Profits Explosion Tip #3 – Use the power of Joint Ventures to get fast web profits! Joint Venture Partnerships can produce immediate overnight profits.

Profits Explosion Tip #4 – Launch your own viral marketing campaign that will spread all over the web like the flu!
