When you have an internet business, you can tend to become more of a "place or thing" than a person,and people do not want to work with the unknown.  Your potential clients want to know who the person behind the business is.  The clients want to know if they can relate to who they are working with.  In fact, unless they can get to the point where they can know and trust you, or somehow relate to you, it is unlikely that they will do business with you.  There are many ways that you can build the raport needed to establish a relationship where someone will feel comfortable enough to buy from you, sign up for your newsletter, work with you, etc.  

As part of developing your strategic plan and the type of online business you will create a great place to start is determining your niche market.

 "A niche market is a group of people who are all searching online for a solution to a specific problem, but not finding many useful results."

The reality is that a niche market is the foundation of a successful Internet business. If you base your business on a strong niche market, then your business will thrive. If you do not take this step of planning there is a good chance your business may never make a penny.

If you would like to advertise your product, opportunity or an affiliate site a great way in which to do it is through a safelist.  A safelist is an opt-in (meaning it is not SPAM) list of people who actually subscribed to receive advertisements.  In my opinion a safelist that promotes using credits to send advertisements is the way to go because that means in order to earn credits to send mailers you must read other  advertisements.  This is a great way to get traffic to your website or affiliate link because people want to earn the credits to send their ads at no cost so they spend a minimum of 15 or 30 seconds on your site, and if you have a compelling call you action you can possibly have a sale or sign-up.

The tactical plan is the reactive plan based on what is going on at the moment.  The hope is that a good tactical plan can get you through a crisis moment.  You do not want to be strictly tactical in nature as it tends to wear you down over time.  The tactical plan used exclusively is great for example to increase sales in the moment as this approach will help you figure out a definite way to work twice as hard and make it happen.  The tactical plan is defined as "any skillful method to gain an end" according to Webster's Dictionary.
