How To Build A List

How many times have you heard, “The money’s in the list!” It seems impossible to browse an Internet Marketing forum or scan a list of “How To Make Easy Money” articles and ebooks without tripping over that phrase ten times. It happens to be 100% true.

Without a responsive, loyal list, you have no one to directly market to. You already know that, if you just send messages and ads blindly out into virtual space, nothing will happen. You do know that, don’t you?

Your solution to List Building involves several steps that you can master and use to start building your own loyal list of customers. When you send emails out, marketing one of your products to your list, quite a few will buy that product. Over time, as more and more learn to trust your credibility, the ones who actually click the Buy Now button will grow.

To start with, you need two different things: #1…Know who your target market is and #2…Know how you are going to capture their email addresses. You can identify your target market by using search engines and keyword tracking tools. You can capture your customer’s email addresses by building an opt-in landing page, commonly called a squeeze page by today’s marketers.

Your goal with those two tasks described above is to drive tons of traffic to your squeeze page so you can capture that traffic’s email address. One way to do this is to write articles on an a regular basis and submit them to article directories with a link back to your squeeze page . Those articles need to be on subjects your desired target market would want to read. Don’t write articles on making enchiladas when your market is interested in how to make money online.

Blogs are a popular way to grab traffic and keep it. Make your posts fresh and directed at your market, and you will soon have a list of loyal readers you can market to. Your readers will expect fresh content all the time, so keep new articles and information changing all the time on your blog. To explode your list, submit your blog to social bookmarking sites like Digg, Yuwie, Stumbleupon, My Space, to name a few. You will have to determine which of the many online are suitable for your purposes.

While the tips listed here on how to build a list are not all-inclusive, they are valid and, if followed, will help you build your first list.

How Not To Build a List

Trying to build a list can become your worst nightmare if you do not take care to do it in the right way. Here’s several ways to destroy your own business while you’re trying to build it.

Your first mistake would be not having a niche, or target market. Do not try to address the entire online world with your list. Instead, focus on a group of people who want the information you have. Why would you send your message out to any others? That would be like standing on a street corner, wearing an advertising “ sandwich board” to promote your products.

Next, if you do not create and nurture an online, personal relationship with your customers you won’t have any customers. People who are hungry to buy your products want to know who they are dealing with…that would be you. There’s so much hype and false claims online today that the average customer doesn’t believe most of what they read. They want to trust you. Give them reason to do that and you will have a customer for life.

If you don’t allow your customers to become part of your virtual world, you will lose them. Ask questions that you want your list to answer. Use surveys. People don’t like it when they feel like they are just bodies with a credit card. They want to believe they are an important part of your business and asking for responses from your customers will have more than one benefit for your business.

The major benefit for you when asking your list members to help you with something…survey or just one or two questions…is that you will probably get multiple answers that will identify exactly what your readers want. Fill that need and you will create major loyalty that translates to sales.

One thing to remember here is to always identify and thank the list member who submitted the question you are addressing. If that happened to you, how would you feel? I would guess the answer to that question is “Special.” It might be a good idea to get permission to use real names, if your customer isn’t using a screen name.

One last way to ruin your business is not to include an unsubscribe link in your emails. People want to know that they can get off your list easily, if they want to. Make sure you respond to that unsubscribe request immediately, without any hesitation, or set it up on an autoresponder. Believe me, you do not want to be branded a spammer, unless you are tired of having a successful business.

Here is a sure-fire method to be a successful list builder. You should check out Dan Thompson's Boomerang List Building software. It is extremely easy to use and very effective building highly targeted lists.

How many years has it taken for our society to create a way for anyone to make money from home? I remember all of the classified ads that I would read a kid while surfing my comic books in the 1970’s looking for a way to make an extra buck so I could buy my own toys when I was 14. It always seemed that I would stumble across classifieds that would direct me to stuffing envelopes and to send away for the information. I must have sent away for dozens of offers only to find out that I couldn’t implement all the things necessary to make it work because it required even more money and I simply didn’t have it!

Well today is a new day with new opportunity and new ways to connect and produce results that’s for sure. Because of computers and the internet it is now possible to create and income online from the comfort of your home, office, or even for starving students in college. Literally anyone can create income online with a click of a mouse strong intentions and a product, a digital product to be specific.
So the question becomes, “How do I begin to make money online and with what tool?” Well, I will say to you that about 1.5 years ago I stumbled across a link a friend forwarded to me about a gentleman by the name of Armando Montelongo (He and his wife are the stars of A&E’s Flip This house). I viewed the link and watched the video 5 or 6 times, but even more importantly I clicked on a link on the bottom of the page that most webmasters post as a link to their site and this is where I found the company of an incredible entrepreneur, Joel Therien. Joel is a guy with a vision who has created one of the most influential internet businesses on the web today because he give back to his subscribers, customers and people in general.

Beginning in March, Joel will be introducing a product that allows anyone to build a MASSIVE contact list using a virtual product with high perceived value for all people. How many times have you visited a web page where you download a trial product and then have to upgrade within 7-30 days and soon after that you’re not using the product at all because you didn’t upgrade to the paid version?

Mr. Therien’s product is given away for FREE and allows all of its users the ability to create an online income payable via a PayPal account. Software of this caliber can cost $250 – $600 easily, but now all interested takers have the ability to post their own videos on the internet for free with a few clicks of a mouse. How easy can it be to get more for less?

Why would Therien give this software away for F.REE? You know, I asked the same question. I came to the conclusion that this not only allows for me to get more exposure and build my marketing list to sell virtual products and more, it give my joint venture partner, Joel the ability to exponentially increase his marketing list and grow his company to the mark of $100 million this year. And I’m committed to helping him because he’s helping me create my $5 Million. That is truly a WIN-WIN for all parties involved and certainly a joint venture partner I want to engage with.

Joel Therien and Global Virtual Opportunities business model are in the process of changing the internet and pushing the online envelope by sharing knowledge, virtual opportunities and customer service to create more choices in the global marketplace. Being connected with Joel Therein has taught me trade secrets that I would have not received anywhere else on the planet and coupled with his network of Internet Gurus, like Mike Filsaime, Frank Kern, Mike Koenigs, Stephen Pierce you not only have a chance to meet these people, but you have a chance to learn more trade secrets and make more revenue online.

Easy Video Producer started its public launch on March 2, 2009 and to take advantage of the buzz on the front side and to build your marketing list quickly, you need to sign up quickly. Again the software is F.REE and if you find value to the product upgrade to the next level if it makes since for upgrade. It’s that easy. The secret to making money online is to build a contact list of people that see value in what you offer and Easy Video Producer provides extreme value.
