Think IM
By building a list, you are ensuring future income because you will have a great database of people who are interested in your product or service. You can continually keep in touch and build rapport with a group of people who want to hear your message. They are also a list of potential customers for any product you may decide to sell.
Because this all made such good sense to me, I set about building my list. Of course, I heard many successful internet marketers brag about having lists that were in the 10′s of thousands. So I concluded that
it really must not be that hard. I set about doing what I was told to do–build squeeze pages, give away a free product, and drive traffic to the pages. It sounded simple enough.
Well, it did not turn out to be that easy. People do not always want to give up their email address because they have gotten bombarded by so many marketers wanting them to join their lists. In niches other than internet marketing, the public is not as familiar with list building and are guarded about giving away their email address.
Then there are the giveaways. Yes, you do get some people on your list, but are they potential buyers? They wanted the free products that were being given away but do they want to dip into their pockets.
I do not want to sound too pessimistic, but it does take some serious technique to build a good responsive list. My friend and mentor Geoff Shaw talks very convincingly about the benefit of having a small responsive list rather than a large list of names. Learn the strategies that work better and put together that small responsive list. Email marketing is important to your Internet Marketing success.
Yes, that is my headline to my Squeeze Page. There is a great five day course on List Building available to you.
