Aspects of List Building

In theory, building your online mailing list might appear to be simple, but in practice it is far more complicated than it appears.

However, I do not want to make anyone feel that list building is not for you. The good news is that most of the aspects of list building that I am going to discuss, only need to be done once for a given list then its over. Your squeeze page, for example, only needs to be built once then its done. Of course, for maximum effectiveness, you may still wish to tweak and edit your page to increase conversions but that can be done steadily over time.

Here are just a few of the aspects of list-building.

1. Your squeeze page. Squeeze pages can be built either from scratch, if you are reasonably competent with HTML or from one of the many free templates that are available. Free squeeze page templates are easily found simply by utilizing the search engines. It might also be worth spending a night searching for as many squeeze pages as you can to try to get ideas for your own.

2. Your auto-responder sequence. Once you have selected an auto responder service, you need to begin writing your sequence. Your auto responder sequence is a set of emails that are designed to facilitate the sending of information to your subscribers. The aim is to educate them, to build trust and ultimately to sell to them.

3. Your sales pages. This can be affiliate links of you wish, or they can be your own products. If you happen to be a savvy product builder than this might be the way to go. However, if you are not comfortable creating your own products for whatever reason, there is no shame and no harm in using carefully selected affiliate products. I have one simple rule when using affiliate products for my list, they have to be products that I have used and benefited from in my own business.

4. Traffic generation. This seems to the be most challenging for most internet marketers who have not yet achieved the level of success that they desire. This is a pity since it does not need to be especially challenging. Simply select two or three from the many options available and master those few. Then do them for at least an hour a day. It is this dedication to consistency that will effectively drive traffic to your squeeze page.

You too can build a list of eager subscribers who can’t wait to receive your next email. Its all about building a relationship with your subscribers. I agree that we need to earn money from our list, but if earning money is your primary concern, it simply will not happen.

Please allow me the opportunity to show you exactly how I forge my relationship with my subscribers first, then just watch the money follow.
