Why I Like List Building for Long-Term Income

List building for me is one of the most exciting activities I do online. The reason I like list building for long-term income is that it creates a steady flow of ready to listen visitors and traffic that I can access just a click of a mouse in my autoresponder. You see anything else that we do online involves sending traffic to your website or to a sales page or two other webpage, but it requires that you send repeatedly new traffic to your website or webpage or sales page in order to create additional income. The difference with list building is that you create a list of individuals with whom you have developed a relationship and who are interested in hearing or receiving information from you.

List Building for Money - How to Do It

List building for money. How do you do it? In my opinion, the only reason that most people build lists online is to develop a revenue stream from the opt in e-mail subscribers on those lists. Now don't get me wrong. Sometimes you might build a list of like-minded individuals, for example people who like to visit movies in your part of town, and you build friends that way. However, what I am talking about here is building a list of like-minded individuals who are interested in learning more information about the topic about which you have specialized knowledge, and are willing to buy from you.

How Can I Build My List and Create Buyers at the Same Time?

I am going to answer this question basically by telling you exactly how I do it, because I do both. Generally, my immediate sales pay my advertising costs. The way that I do it is to send all my traffic to a squeeze page where the only option is to opt in to my email list.

How do You Promote a Product To My List That Everyone Else is Too?

This is always a tough situation. One of the ways that I have personally gotten around this, is by creating my own products. When I first got started, I was promoting a lot of affiliate items, and frankly, my response rates, my conversion rates were quite low, in the 1% neighborhood. As result of this, I rarely run into this problem. I rarely promote the newest, mass promoted hyped up affiliate product. Obviously, if you're promoting something that many others are you simply have to recognize that some people are got buy from other links, and some people are going to get irritated with you for e-mailing the same offer. However, once we get past that, we can now think about how to convert people, or at least get them to purchase through you, if they are going to purchase at...

How Do You Segment Your List?

There are two different ways to approach this challenge. The first way to approach this challenge would be to aggregate everybody in your list using sophisticated tracking software to correlate the source of the visitor with purchases made. The nice thing to using this software, is that you can build one list (I am assuming that it is a tightly targeted lists, if not, you should be using multiple lists), let the software do the intelligent work, and simply look at the results. The second way to approach this challenge would be to create a different squeeze page for every visitor source. By adding a unique Web form to each squeeze page, you can identify each purchaser at the time of purchase by the squeeze page, which they used to enter your website. The advantage to doing this is, it's actually quite...

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 ..
