"The money is in the list", is one of the very first
phrases you'll hear when you start internet marketing -
plus, every seminar or training you attend will refer to
"the list" as extremely important to build your internet
marketing business.
You've probably already hear this before, right?
Well, what you haven't heard before is what I'm about to
tell you.
As much as that phrase may be true, I would say that the
money is not in the list.
Wait, before you call me nuts or close this article, let me
explain to you why the money is not just in building the
list, but ...
...the money is in "what you do with the list"!
More often than not, some internet marketers don't respect
the people that opted into their list, they don't nurture
them or feed them with valuable information that will make
their list to respect them and trust them as an expert.
They saw the list as an avenue to make money and kept
bombarding them with one sales pitch after another and
before they realize it, the number of list has dropped
dramatically and the majority of the remaining don't open
their mails - they ignore their messages. What such
marketers' did not realize is the fact that, the people
that opt-in have the power with the click of a button to
unsubscribe and there is nothing you as a marketer can do
about it.
On the other side of the spectrum are some smart gurus, who
know about getting a list, building relationship with the
list and presenting their opportunity at the right time.
Their business kept flourishing and blooming and you're
probably wondering - what are they doing differently.
What they do is simple and that is what you're about to
discover here - they build their list, follow-up with them
and gain their trust. You may use the following steps to
do the same...
Step #1. Content - great content is the key ingredient to
attract people to you, virtually no one will join your list
just because you ask them to without given them a
compelling reason. You need to create a valuable report or
e-book relevant to your niche market and give it out FREE
to let people know you're an expert in your chosen field -
make sure the information is useful, desirable and valuable
enough that you could sell it if you want to.
Step #2. Website - your site should include useful benefits
about your free e-book that will help you convert your
visitors into prospects. Create web form opt-in or squeeze
page to capture name, e-mail and/or other information by
offering your valuable report or article - note that most
people are comfortable given only their first name and
e-mail address.
Step #3. Promote your website - send e-mail about your free
report to your existing list if you have one, write
articles and submit them to directories plus you can also
use paid advertisement if your budget allows.
Step #4. Messages - create e-mail messages with compelling
information about your new e-book this is what you will use
as part of building relationship. Also give relevant tips
and techniques from time to time to nurture the
relationship.
Step #5. Set up auto-responder - once someone opt-in to
your list, your auto-responder will help you to send your
messages (created in step #4) to your prospect one day at a
time based on your interval settings.
In a nutshell, that is how you build a successful list!
When I looked back and check the people that I have bought
their products in the past and the ones that I currently
subscribe to their paid newsletter. I noticed they have one
thing in common, they provide value - they gave me lots of
information and I mean tons of free valuable information to
prove themselves as experts and as someone who can
deliver...
And that my friend is what made me to open my wallet.
