I heard, before I joined an on line Internet Marketing
system, to build a list first. I was foolish. I brushed it
off. One I didn't have anything to offer a list to start
one. And two, I didn't realize the importance of having a
list. I spent $2,000 to join a program which I believed in.
I figured I could make 2 or 3 sales a month and my business
would grow. Boy was I wrong! I then spent another
$800-1,000 in advertising without making one sale. Pretty
discouraging. I bounced checks and paid bills late for
months waiting for a break through that never came.
I absorbed myself in Internet Marketing though. I probably
spent 60-80 hours a week,for about 10 months, studying on
line and listening to audios about Internet Marketing to
and from work. I've probably been on 300-500 different
Internet marketers list. I probably have over 500 ebooks on
Internet marketing. All given to me for free to be a
subscriber to an Internet marketers list. If I wasn't
receiving 30-60 sales letters a day from being on those
list, I might have had time to read one or two of those
books by now. Actually, they have come in handy. When
something does stump me, I do have all of those resources
and I have learned from them.
It was through being on on those list that equipped me to
be able to build my own list. When you've been on that many
list you know which ones could grow quickly and which ones
won't. 90% offer the same products, whether for free or for
sale. So, even as a newbie, you can start your own list.
You don't need unique products, you just need to set
yourself apart from the 90% group! In fact, even the 10%
group sells a lot of the same products.
So, what's the difference? Patience, and the willingness to
want to train new Internet marketers the ropes. The smart
list builder will develop a relationship with you and give
you free Internet Marketing training before they try to
make a sale to you. The majority of them give you a free
ebook, which they got for free anyway, along with a sales
page ($49 price goes up $20 at midnight!) and then they
fill your email box day after day with more sales letters
until you unsubscribe. I do have patience though. I'll
usually give them the benefit of doubt and give them a
couple of weeks before I unsubscribe.
I'm a faithful subscriber to about 5 or 6 Internet
marketers. Because they have patience, they teach me a lot,
they even offer free audio and video training. Now, when
they are all out there promoting the same things, are you
going to buy that $49 product from some one that gave you
an ebook that they got for free, or are you going to buy
that product from one of the guys that has invested in you?
Because when one these guys offers me an affiliate program
or Network Marketing opportunity, I'll look it over because
these guys have invested time and training into me, and I
owe them at least that. Even if the time isn't right for
me, if the opportunity interest me, I'll save it and look
it over again in the future.
The point is is you can join one of the Internet Marketing
opportunities out there and spend thousands of dollars with
out making a sale. There is a lot of competitors selling
the same products or a different one. But, odds are, by the
time a person clicks on your ad they've already seen it 5
times in the last hour. You still have to pay $1 or so for
each click. It gets very expensive and discouraging when
they click and leave. I'm suggesting that instead of
wasting thousands of dollars, be patient first off, and
second build a list of people interested in Internet
Marketing by training them list building first. You can
earn a very good income doing this without sending out a
sales page every day. Then when you are lucrative, find an
opportunity that you believe in, and offer that to the list
you built that you already have a relationship with and
sales should follow!
