Sorry, But That Wasn't Your List After All
Whether your business is small or large, domestic or
international, online or offline, you are costing your
business money if you are not aggressively capturing every
visitor's contact information including their e-mail
address.
A now readily accepted cliche states that the money is in
the list. That is ever so true now than it ever has been
before. By accepting this universal truth, you have just
entered the world of competitive profits and
professionalism.
E-mail, although it has gone through numerous changes and
legal adversities over the years, is still one of the best
forms of communication with your customer if it is done
right and appears to them to be first class and not spam.
This can be done inexpensively as well.
For example, every business owner needs a website ever it
be so humble and the ability to capture your visitor's
e-mail address preferably with a professional
autoresponder. Why is this so important?
First, most people do not buy immediately and you want the
ability to contact them later with your product or service.
Second, this will make your life so much more easier
because the whole process in getting their e-mail address
is automated so that you can spend your time doing more
important tasks.
The next important activity for your business is bringing
large amounts of laser targeted traffic to your websites .
Different avenues of doing this would be writing articles
and using Hub pages, Squidoo, Digg to name just a few.
And one of the best sophisticated techniques that is
starting to get more press attention is called viral
marketing. Viral marketing if used correctly could
literally bring thousands of buyers and interested visitors
to your website(s) in record time.
I don't think enough is said or written about the
importance of adding viral marketing to your marketing
campaigns and the awesome power this proven concept has to
destroy your closest competitors.
Attaining traffic not only by your means but also by the
efforts of other enthusiastic marketers (partners as I see
them) can take a website from 10 to 100 visitors a day to
500 to 1000 or more in very little time.
Brilliant business people in all walks of life will tell
you that their wealth factor is directly tied to the
success of others within their companies and organizations.
I think it would be safe to say that without these partner
affiliates, they would not be where they are today.
Remember this if nothing else.
To achieve massive size lists, there are many websites that
successfully work on the premise that you join their
organization, add simple codes to your website and every
time a legitimate and professional popup or popunder
appears, you get a credit.
These credits then allow your ad to appear as an
unobtrusive ad on someone else's website and so on. This
is one example of viral marketing that is welcomed and read
by all these visitors.
Everyone is thus creating a huge list based upon everyone
else's efforts all working together toward one common goal
in internet marketing. Now I think the question is: "Are
these types of websites a good thing to join?"
Yes and no. The concept is fantastic. But here lies a
potential problem that requires your utmost attention.
You want to make absolute sure that if you are going to
spend precious time and money in bringing traffic to your
website, then please don't waste it. Always try to capture
their e-mail address with an incentive, free ebook or
something they can only get from you.
But you may ask: "How can I do this if I'm using their
replicated website?" Simple. Join an organization that
allows you to bring traffic to the replicated website (that
is yours) then professionally captures those visitors'
e-mails and then happily hands every one of those e-mail
addresses obtained to you.
What? I can have best of both worlds? You sure can. In
fact, there are a few companies that will periodically send
you a list of all visitors who have joined through your
efforts or with a membership they will automatically send
these critical, cash-making e-mail addresses straight to
your autoresponder.
How's that for automation. Now you are starting to build
your massive e-mail list legally that will bring you untold
financial rewards for the rest of your life.
But this is where you have to be knowledgeable about who to
work with and those to avoid. Sadly, most companies will
only allow you mail to this massive list that you've helped
built every so often but will never give you rights to
their contact information.
These companies have absolute say in how often you get to
mail the very visitors you've brought to them in the first
place. This can be very frustrating considering all your
hard work. Only then do you realize that this large
mailing list wasn't your list after all.
My advice: Take that first step and join the best viral
marketing company that will provide their professional
website to draw huge amounts of visitors but then rewards
you with actually sending you this list of e-mail addresses
directly to you or to your autoresponder.
That's what I call working smarter and taking advantage of
viral marketing strategies that is working for thousands of
website owners all over the world.
