Why List Building Is so Important to Me

List building is quite important to me. When I first got involved online I built a sales page, well, actually first I wrote a book then I wrote a sales page and started sending traffic to it.

Internet Marketing Strategies for the Advanced List Builder

In this article, I am going to talk about Internet marketing strategies for the advanced list builder. I am assuming a basic knowledge of list building, of selecting a niche, of creating a squeeze page, of creating autoresponder campaign, and of writing persuading e-mails, and developing strong emotional bonds with subscribers on your list. So, I am assuming that you are a list builder, and you know what you're doing, and you are probably are making money, and that you have a list of at least a thousand opt in e-mail subscribers. There are several strategies that I'm going to address here. The first strategy is that you must study your opt in e-mail rates and your click through...

What is the Most Effective Thing I Can do To Build My List?

The most effective thing you can do to build your list is to put a squeeze page (or capture page that has as its only function the opting in of subscribers) on your web site, and send all your traffic to that page only. You see, if someone will not give you their name and email address in exchange for a free gift, what makes you think they will ever give you their credit card and mailing address? I know that is harsh, but that is how I have built my business in only 8 months to a $10,000 per month business. I believe in the art of qualifying people. And I qualify them every step of the way. No email address, you don't get into my site. No money, you don't get my first product. And on and on. I don't care how many unsubscribes I get - I figure...

How do You Even Start to Build a List Without Expensive Advertising?

When you are first getting started in list building, the first thing that you need is a squeeze page on your website. A squeeze page is basically a webpage that has as its only purpose the opting in of subscribers to your opt in e-mail list. This squeeze page should basically be just the headline, some short copy, and a few bullet points, giving people a good reason to download your free giveaway item. After that, should be the opt in Web form for your autoresponder. There should be no other outgoing links on that page. No links to your articles, no links to your sales pages, no links to add works, no links anywhere. If you have any other links beside your opt in Web form, your conversion rate will drop drastically...

What are Some Inexpensive Ways to Get People to the Sign Up Page?

Since I do not want to waste your time or mine, I will just discuss the effective ways of getting people to your sign up pages. One of the most effective ways to get someone to your web site sign up page is to write articles and post them to the various online article directories. Simply write articles (I have written over 1000, so I know what it takes) that are related to the topic of your web site, and put a link in the article near the end offering some free gift to anyone who visits your site and ...

List Building – How do I Find Non – Internet Marketing Subscribers?

I think this is a great question. I think that it reveals a flaw in our internet marketing efforts – and that is that we often assume that our clients are in the im niches. But in reality, I think most people online are in the non-im niches. So how do you do it? Well, first of all, I think that the method is the same, although the target audience is different. So the basics steps of creating a squeeze page, putting an autoresponder opt in form on it, and driving traffic to it are the same, so I won’t cover that here. I think that the biggest difference is the obvious ...

List Building – Why Your Index Should Be A Lead Capture Page I

There are several compelling reasons why you should use your index page as a list building tool, rather than use a squeeze page deeper in your website. In order to succeed in internet marketing you need a list of subscribers that you email to regularly with new offers and products. All the best internet marketers agree that the money is in the list. You therefore have to build a list by capturing email addresses using a squeeze page and an opt-in form. When visitors arrive at your website, it is generally your home page they access first, since only a few sources allow you to advertise a specific page within your site. Since your home page, otherwise known as your index page...

List Building to Promote your Product III

An exit pop-up has been proven to be effective in capturing email addresses. Exit pop-ups are more effective then entrance pop-ups that frequently annoy and have the opposite effect to what you want. However, you can experiment with pop-ups to find the best type for you. There are many different types from the normal standard pop-up to those that float in and the sticky type that stay there even when you scroll up or down. There are some rules that I have found effective in helping to secure the email address. First, request only a first name and not a full name. People think you are being less obtrusive. Also don't ask them to 'register', and certainly not to 'subscribe' with the connotation of payment. The most effective way is to offer information or a free gift, and request the first name and email address so that you can send the information or gift to ..

Some List Builders Dream, Others Build

You may have a decent-sized list, but they just don't buy. Could you have the wrong list? How did you come by the folks who joined? Are they from sort of free advertising, or did you build them by placing ads in ezines? Do you know what they want? How do you know which items to sell them? All of these questions are important...

List Building With MySpace

Using my space for list building is quite interesting, it's quite new, and because of that so many of the so-called Internet gurus are producing books, etc. to teach you how to drive traffic using myspace. Let me ask you a question. If one of these Internet gurus sells 10,000 copies of some book on how to drive myspace traffic using a newly discovered technique, after 10,000 or 20,000 people begin to apply that same technique, how long is it going to be a newly discovered and easy to use? I think the bottom line is that any new technique, or fad that comes out, assuming somebody writes a book on it and 10,000 or 20,000 people begin to use the technique, then the technique no longer works. So what works long-term? The bottom line is, for several years content online has been the key issue.....
