Your list is your ticket to riches. I know it sounds like a terrible cliche, but it’s true. I’ve been marketing online for a very long time and sadly, when I first started, I didn’t build a list. I didn’t even know how to build a list. As a result, my income only got so big. I was stagnating and going nowhere. Then I smartened up and did some studying on the subject. Since that time, I have built a list into the many thousands that has been responsible for tripling my income over the last few years. In this article, I’m going to show you how easy it is to do this.

Building a list is not a complicated process. First, you have to start with something of value to give to your prospects in order to give them incentive to want to be part of your list in the first place. Remember, in the world we live in, it’s “What’s in it for me?” You have to make this painfully obvious to the prospect of they’re going to ignore you like the ugly girl at the prom. It may not be fair, but it’s the way it is. So come up with something of value. It can be a free report, newsletter or whatever. Just make sure it’s actually worth something or you won’t keep these people on your list.

After you’ve come up with whatever it is you’re going to give them, the next step is to build a squeeze page to give the report or newsletter away and to collect opt ins. If you don’t know how to do this, hire somebody. Way too many marketers pinch pennies here and in the long run, they’re only hurting themselves. Concentrate on what you do best and let somebody else do the rest of it. Also make sure you sign up with an autoresponder service like Aweber or GetResponse. Don’t trust the delivery of your emails to a hack second rate service.

Once you have everything set up and you’re collecting opt ins, make sure you treat your list with respect. Don’t blast them with sales pitches every single day. This is going to tick most people off. Give them good quality content on a regular basis. Monitor your opt out rate. If you’re getting a lot of unsubscribe notifications, you’re doing something wrong. If you have to, survey your list to find out what they want.

If you work on building your opt in list you can easily triple your income as well.

And it won’t take very long to do it.

To YOUR Success,
