What You Must Do to Find Success With List Building

Building an email list of targeted subscribers should be your main aim as an Internet Marketer. Attempt to be diverse from so many countless other Internet Marketers, and take the time to cultivate your individual list of email subscribers. A lot of small online businesses do not perform that important action very well. And by not building an email list they are leaving a great deal of money on the table, which does not need to happen with you. The following article talks about how you ought to go about making the most of list building for your online business.

In order to build a targeted email list, you have to be willing to go through all the steps. Truthfully, the most effective list builders had to begin somewhere, and they had to build up their lists bit by bit. You have to start with your first subscriber, then you’re first dozen and then you’re first hundred. That is assuming you don’t have access to that elusive secret weapon you see advertised everywhere. You can build a decent sized list somewhat fast, but of course a really large one takes a lengthier time. You will have to take consistent action on perfecting the basics.

You have to learn all about landing pages, opt-in forms and other such things. Now that is not to say that you may not have the money to outsource all of this, but if you do not know the basics, how would you know it was being done correctly?

Safelists are not an effective list building strategy. You will only end up wasting your time if you go the safelist way. You could be curious to try out them to grow your email list, but circumventing those makes more sense. You want to find quality and targeted subscribers for your list, and it’s tough to find these on safelists. Put in the effort that’s needed to create a list that you can be proud of. You should be really apprehensive of any methods that promise you large amounts of traffic with little effort.

While this may not sound important, it is, and we want to tell you to get a privacy policy and put it on your site. That is not a cure-all, but it is highly recommended and people do read them. That is just one part of instilling some trust from them in you, and that will count with getting subscribers. We do not suggest you copy a policy from another site, and you should make sure you are using one that is valid.

There are many ways to drive instant traffic to your site, but will they benefit you in the long run? With a list, however, you have a source of traffic that you can count on as long as you take care of them. The more people you have on your email list, the better it will be for your online business. An email list also tends to be much more responsive to your offers than random traffic. That is of course by you building relationship and trust with your targeted subscribers.

List Building Tips: What is List Building?

“List building is everything!”, or “the money is the list”, your fortune is in the follow-up”. You have heard it all before but do you really understand exactly what list building is and why is important to your future?

What is List Building?

In its simplest form, list building a two step process: the one step is the act of “capturing” a potential customer’s name and email address and the second step is to use that information to create a relationship with that person. Notice I said “create a relationship” not to sell. I’ll get back to that in a minute.

You want to use your list building process to collect the names and email addresses of as many people who have shown an interest in you and your business as possible. Basically you want to put a list building link (subscription form or something like it) in front of as many visitors as you possibly can. Put subscription forms or a link to a subscription page on every page on your website.

List Building and Relationships

Old time sales guys love the saying, “Nobody likes being sold, but most everyone likes to buy.” And this is true for the most part. People have become very immune to hard sells and fast ball pitches. They don’t like being pressured and will put up a lot of resistance to the idea of being “sold” something.

Now on the other hand, almost everyone loves to buy things, myself included. If you look at the national consumer debt figures, spending money is not most people’s problem. They want to buy things that remove pain, increase pleasure or make their lives a little bit better and they want to enjoy themselves while doing it! That’s why shopping with friends is so much fun!

That is what you want to happen with your list. You should think of your list as a community of like minded people looking to “buy” things to solve their problems or make their lives more pleasant (like a virtual shopping center). And they want to buy those things with the input of their trusted friend and advisor, “YOU”.

List Building for the Long Term

List building should be renamed relationship building. People like to buy things from people they know, like and trust.  You want to create an environment of trust for your list members. Trust is the cornerstone of all business interactions. No one is buying anything if they feel they are going to lose money or be tricked. So creating trust is vital to the welling being for long term list building.

So how do you create trust? Just like in face-to-face interactions; be honest and be yourself. Being honest is simple; don’t lie to people to get them to do something. They will find out, get angry and they will go away…and bad mouth you in every email and forum they can find. They may even start up a “YourNameHereSucks.com” website. Seen it happen. Be real, be yourself. Let folks know who you are and what your business stands for.

List building is one of the most important elements of any online business and now that you understand why it so vital, you should be ready to start work on list building on your own.

List Building Tips – Why You Need a List

I was recently surprised when someone who was new to affiliate marketing asked me…”Why do you need a list anyway?”

But this is actually a great question. And many newcomers are probably asking themselves the same thing. When we first start out, we aren’t really thinking in terms of long-term profit and we don’t really have the statistics ingrained in our brains. We’re just trying to figure out how to make money…so building a list might not seem like a top priority.

This article is the first in a series of list building tips. Here I’m going to focus on why everyone (yes, everyone) in business benefits from growing a list.

But first, what is a list anyway? It’s basically just a series of people who have (hopefully) given you their contact information. These contacts are considered leads and the quality of these leads can vary greatly. For example, if you have a list of people who have specifically requested that you send them information about a product that you promote or the business you are involved in, that list is extremely targeted and qualified. If you have a list of contacts who are interested in your industry in general but haven’t shown any interest in your particular product or business, that too is a fairly targeted list.

Buying leads is another (not recommended by me) way to build a list. These are most likely low-quality leads.

Remember that you might also have several different lists that each represent a certain niche or target market or quality level. It’s important to market to each list appropriately and this will be discussed in a later article.

So, on to the real list building tips article number 1: five reasons you want to start building your list now if you haven’t done so already.

1. Increase your earnings, even from the people who don’t buy your product. Anyone who has already learned the lesson will gladly tell you…if you don’t have a list, you are losing income. Look at it this way. You spend a month advertising something and you end up with a certain amount of sales. If you don’t have the contact details of the people who bought this product, you have made just one sale per person. If you do have the contact details, you can offer these people more similar products, or upgraded products of the ones they have purchased.

Or…look at it this way. Someone is interested in your product but they don’t purchase it right now. If you can get them on your list, you can send them reminders about this product or others they may be interested. If not…oh well, off they go to your competitors.

Those who buy are the most likely to buy again. If you’ve sold a product to someone, you can be assured that this person is much more likely to buy that same product again or the next product you offer than someone who hasn’t bought from you. That’s another reason for building your list.

2. You don’t need your own product or business yet…and you can make money while building. Many people get started with marketing online and they don’t really have a clear idea about what they want to do. Or maybe they are trying lots of different things. As far as list-building goes, that’s perfectly fine! You can start out promoting someone else’s product as an affiliate and build your list that way. As you start to learn more about online marketing and get a clearer picture of where you want to go, you are actually building up one of your biggest assets that will serve you in the future.

3. You can do market research for free. Building a list means having access to feedback and ideas. This goes hand in hand with number 2. Once you can maintain contact with people, you’re able to ask them what they are looking for and in turn, you can develop your marketing strategies accordingly.

4. Building your own list means building your brand/image. The Internet is an amazing power. But you can get lost in a sea of cold websites and hypey sales pages. Building a list puts you on a more personal level with your customer and allows you to establish a rapport. Who do you think people are more likely to buy from…the person they’ve never seen before of the guy/gal who sends them those really cool emails about something they are interested in…?

5. Your own lists represent multiple sources of income. The ideas you get from your list and from what actually compelled them to join your list allows you to create your own products/services or seek out others that you can offer them.

List building can be creative – the more you put yourself and your personality into the mix, the more successful you’ll be with it.

Keep in mind that your goal is not just to obtain a bunch of email addresses or phone numbers. The real point of list building is to provide value and to maintain relationships with the people who land on your list. If you’re wondering how it is that you actually get people on your list(s), stay tuned for the next article.

List Building Is a Huge Dilemma for New Comers to Network Marketing

List building is a critical activity in internet marketing and network marketing done through the internet. Knowing how to build a list can mean the difference between success and failure on an online opportunity. This is especially true in Network Marketing where you need to recruit fast to offset your cost for advertising. Although having a list does not necessary guarantee recruits, it increases your chances of getting off on the right foot in any opportunity.

In my own experience, when I started, I did not know how to build a list and if I see any e-book or course on list building, I avoided it. My brain simply did not want to understand the technical complexity of the process. As a matter of fact, I understood the importance of building a list but I had no time to understand the technical aspect of doing it. As a result I go for methods that did not involve list building. How wrong was I, because the money lost could have been used on training on list building. There is no way around it and I had to know it or be a statistic in the business.

Well any newbie to internet marketing will know that it is not easy to understand list building. You need something of value to give away, an autoresponder with a squeeze page and website with this autoresponder embedded. OK you may need a domain name and if you have an affiliate link, you would want to redirect the domain name to this affiliate site. Oh what is a squeeze page anyway? I got lost in all these. It was just technically intimidating. To be honest, I even read several books on it and still got lost.

Despite that I studied the process and got to know it. But list building involves paying for the autoresponders on a monthly basis. And if you are not using free traffic generation methods than it will cost you money to drive traffic to the squeeze page. If you are just giving something away to build a list then you still need to monetize the leads which appropriate offers which is another aspect of internet marketing you have to learn. Building a list in itself does not make money until you monetize the leads. In network marketing this is crucial as you may be on autoship monthly which you will have to break even to make money.

List building is a difficult thing and one of the most important thing you can do to reduce your learning curve is to buy into a system that has an inbuilt autoresponder and one that you do not need to design a squeeze page. This will buy you time to learn the whole process of list building while the system generates leads for you. You can avoid the technically intimidating stuff and concentrate on driving traffic. Make sure that there are affiliate programs in the system that can you can generate retail income to offset membership costs. Simply put, you cannot avoid the process of list building. It will make or break your online business.

How To Get Free Traffic To Your Website Or Blog

HOW TO DRIVE FREE TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE OR BLOG

Free traffic… we all dream about it. Millions of people coming to your website, clicking on every monetized offer you have, you making thousands of dollars a day while you sip margaritas on the beach in San Tropez…

And now, (the sound of a needle scratching across a record), real life sets in! Okay, okay. It doesn’t just happen that way, but it can. It’s a lot of hard work. Grinding away day after day.

Here’s the real deal for getting free traffic to your website or blog…

1) Work every day doing posts on as many social media accounts you have. Pinterest and twitter are great, but use as many as you have time for. Create a buzz. Be different. Post often. Wait. It takes time. Chances are you won’t go viral overnight, so the turtle will win the race. It’s not a sprint.

2) Go to Google for information. Looking for what’s hot? What is everyone typing in to Google and searching for the most right now? Go to Google and type in, “Google what hot links”. Google gives you free information on the most searched for keywords/topics over time. Type in “Google trends”. Use AdWords Google keyword tool, type in Google “keywords tool” to look up words/keywords and how often are they used per month.

3) Incorporate keywords into your title, heading using h1, and down in the pages. Example: Title of my elephant site, after looking in Google keywords and finding out the phrase searched the most each month, “Elephants are like Humans”. Then, in your first line on your page, use headline size h1 to reiterate this, type it in again, “Elephants are like Humans”. Try to mention it several times within your page, but don’t get spammy. Google loves “like” content, but hates word spamming.

4) If you have picture on your page, make sure to fill in the ALT tags that let you put a brief description of your picture. Use this to your advantage. Don’t just put, “Elephant pic”. Write it more descriptive of the content of your page. Something like, “Elephants acting human”, throwing in the keywords ‘elephant’ and ‘human’.

5) Try not to go off subject too much. Stick with elephants acting human without side bars talking about elephant feed or bananas and how they’re grown. Too much extra blah, blah, blah.

6) Google always likes to see articles of at least 500 words. Squeeze pages/landing pages are hard to rank, usually because there is so little content on them.
