Assuming you get a good charge, my first step would be to replace the battery cables with new ones and double check that you have good ground connections from the chassis to the engine and to the dashboard. If that didn't work, replace the solenoid if it is a separate component. If that didn't work then remove and disassemble/clean or replace the starter/solenoid. If that didn't work then replace the battery. If that didn't work then start over because you missed something.

After several tries the heat through the corroded junction has caused expansion of the parts and more firm contact conducts better. Take the cable off the starter and clean the lug, and the nut. Often, just tightening and loosening the nut will establish good contact--for a while.

Replace your starter. I promise this will fix the problem. Don't try to just replace the solenoid on the starter for 2 reasons. First off you cant buy just a solenoid for the starter, second if you did it wouldn't be realy cost affective.
