List Building
Even though you may not have spent a lot of time around
people that market on the internet, you may probably have heard
them say at one time or another, The Money is in The List. What
you will find they are actually talking about is their email
mailing list.
This list is normally made up of different people that have
asked to receive some sort of information from them, either in
the form of an email newsletter or some other general
publication.
There are a number top Internet marketers that say that most
of their income comes from sending out marketing emails to the
people that are on their list, when considering this, it seems
as though the list can be the email marketer’s real online key
to success.
A myth is going round though that that is something to the
effect of, the larger that the list is, the more money and
success it will bring to the marketer.
It's a myth because there are loads of ways to build lists,
for instance you can purchase them, run some competitions or
contests or even swap them with other list owners, but doing it
those ways, although you can generate large lists, will not
guarantee that you will be successful with them.
Getting familiar with your target audience is a big key in
building a good list. What you need to aim for is quality
targeted people for your list, you will be a lot better
off with say a list of 2000 people who are interested in what
you have to say, rather than a list of 20,000 people who are
really not all that interested. An example can be, if you are
selling an e-book on say how to lose 10lbs in 14 days, you
don't want to be advertising to build your list on a pet food
site.
You will also have to pay attention to how easy you have
made your signing up process, if you make it too hard to do,
most of the visitors that you might normally get, could
possibly just click away from your page because they find your
process too complicated.
Ensure that you have got your sign up box in an easy to find
place on your page, for instance, don't stick it three quarters
or all the way down at the bottom of the page, because if your
visitor decides that they are not interested in reading all
that you have on the page, they might click away before they
even find out you have a sign up box.
I have tried a few places on my sites placing my opt in
boxes and have found that the top right hand side of the page
works best for me, you can try that for starters and see how
you get on, another good idea would be to split test a few
pages where you put it and take it from there.
A really great way to build your list is to offer something
for free such as video inviter in exchange for someone joining
your mailing list, say an e-book or maybe some software, a
good example of this can be found at videoinviter.org,
try to make sure that it is of good value though and not some
old resale rights or similar product that thousands of people
are pumping out.
Remember it may take a little time for you to develop your
list, but it will be worth it, because once you have it, it
will be one of your best and lucrative assets.
