The idea of building your list is easy to understand. Many
people also understand the huge value of building your own
list because we have all heard over and over again that
building your list is key, and that your list is your most
valuable asset. I agree that these statements are
incredibly true.
However, it is not enough to just know what you need to do.
To accomplish anything it requires more than that, and this
is no different. First you need to know the basic tasks you
will need to complete. Secondly you need necessary tools to
get the job done right. Would you dig a hole in your yard
with a spoon instead of a shovel? Definitely not! We need
tools that will be both effective and reliable. For this
reasons I have researched for the most reliable yet
affordable tools to use in your journey of building your
list.
First let's talk about hosting. There are almost endless
choices for hosting. I have narrowed the list down to the
ones highest recommend by both Internet marketers and
network marketers. The more robust and effective choices
are:
1) Kiosk
2) Host4Profit
These two are the most recommended for Internet network
marketers and trusted by the most successful of us in the
industry. With either of these you have all the features
needed to create any website you desire. There are other
web hosts out there who will freely cancel your account and
all of your data at the event of a spam complaint or other
issue, so be aware of this and if you can stick with a host
you can trust.
Secondly let's talk about autoresponders. An autoresponder
is another tool you must not go without. With the use of an
autoresponder it makes building your list, contacting your
list with high deliverability, and automatic follow-up a
reality!
The autoresponder many online marketers including myself
highly recommend is called Aweber. This is also the most
popular autoresponder service. The benefits are that you
can be sure that your messages will be delivered with
almost flawless deliverability to your contacts each and
every time you send a broadcast or automated message during
a follow-up sequence if you are using a squeeze page.
Another benefit is that it makes it extremely easy to
create and get code for web forms in order to collect
opt-ins from your website.
Things you want to be aware of with some other
autoresponder services such as Autoresponse Plus or certain
autoresponders that you can pay once for and download is
the fact that you will most likely get poor deliverability,
or your deliverability will get worse over time. As you
probably know, a huge importance in e-mail marketing is
getting your message seen. I recommend going with a service
you can count on.
Let's move onto automation. The rest of the process is
simple, get a page set-up on your web host and put on the
opt-in form connected to your autoresponder. If you are
unsure of how to create a web page you can easily use a
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor such as
Microsoft FrontPage to create and save a web page.
Anything you can learn that will help you grow or improve
your online business or marketing is information that you
should seek out and apply. I always seek to learn more
because knowledge you will always have for the entire
future of your marketing career and because the more you
know about a given topic then naturally the better you will
be at it and the more money you will make. So the last
ingredient is knowledge. Learn the "how" in order to
complete the "what to do" information you have learned.
Keep in mind that a big benefit to network marketing is
having a sponsor, so get in touch with them for guidance
and work together towards your goals.
