When Should You Build a List?

You should build a list as soon as you possibly can. Everyone is different. Some things are going to work one way for someone and the totally opposite for someone else. One thing is for sure, the sooner you start, the faster you will make MORE money.

I would venture to say that if your an absolute beginner at marketing products online then you may want to start a blog first. This way you can learn a little about getting traffic, uploading files and registering a domain, which are all things  you’ll need to know when building your list. Plus you’ll be able to start making a little money ASAP and actually use your blog to build your list too. Building a list takes a little more patients and if done right will take a little longer to get to a sale.

If you are familiar with uploading files and some of the technical stuff then building a list first might work better for you, but I think more times than not, that people new to Internet Marketing aren’t privy to these things.

So basically to sum up when to “Build A List?” ” The Sooner the Better.”

What are You Going to Need?

The first thing you’ll need is an auto responder. The two more popular auto responders are AWeber and Get Response. Then your going to need traffic just like you would a blog. Just use the same methods that you use to get traffic to your blog, the only other thing that you can do that you may not do with a blog is start a small pay per click  campaign.

You’ll need a product or a really BIG SECRET. You can find plenty of resale rights products out there for free. You may want to look at the product very closely if it’s free, because it’s quality might be really poor and need some brushing up. It might be so bad that you couldn’t pay people to take it, so you really need to take a good look at it first. You could also make a small investment for one, which isn’t too much, yet more likely to be better quality. Consider upgrading when you find a good resource for resale rights products to save time in the long run.

If you just want to give away a “Secret” just offer a video to let your customer in on it. You should make sure that this is something real good though, so your not telling someone something they already know.

How to Keep Customers on Your List

In order to build a list you have to make sure you lose as few people as possible. If  people unsubscribe from your list  more than people are subscribing the building process is going to take a very long time right. So since your trying to build a list as fast as possible there is a couple of things you need to do to manage your list the right way.

1. Start by sending out valuable content right off the bat. Something that is going to help them out. You want to send anywhere from 20 to 30 e-mails before you consider asking your customer to purchase from you. This is something you can test out and see what works better for you, but make sure you build a relationship with them first.
2. Stay in contact with your list on a regular basis. You don’t want to overwhelm your customer either, a good rule of thumb is to send out one e-mail a day, maybe two if there is enough value there. This way you’ll also leave some openings for product launch’s you may be promoting in the future.
3. Keep the content as fresh as possible, so your not just echoing what someone else is saying, always be on the search for the hot content.

Why is a List So Important?

There are several reasons why a “List” is so important. The most popular reason is no surprise. MORE MONEY. When your selling products from your blog one person is going to be worth say $30. When someone is signed up for your mailing list, you now have the potential of  making 2 - 10 more sales from them. So instead of one customer being worth $30 they are now possibly worth $60 - $300 or more.

You are now also developing a relationship with them and promoting products is easier when someone has a bond with you. This trust will translate into more sales without a doubt.

“Social Media” is another way to build your list, although it can be a little tricky. The best Marketers on the Internet are still running tests to see what method works best with “Social Media.”

If your interested in using “Social Media” I would not go it alone. You really should look to one of the experts that have already gone through the trial and error process. Ryan Deiss is one of these people and has figured out a way to build a big list fast with Twitter. The method he has come up with works with just Twitter and nothing else, but it works amazing. Some people don’t agree with Ryan’s  method including his good friend Perry Belcher, but it works and it works really good. I highly recommend you check out what Ryan has to offer because he always puts out amazing products and Twitter is so easy to use you’ll be building a big list in no time.

               Well as you guys no doubt know, to really succeed with our Internet marketing careers, we need to have great digital products that convert all of our qualified leads into real, cash-paying customers.  For many people, coming up with products will involve them creating them on their own, or it may involve them commissioning other professionals to do the hard work for them.

Chances are though, like most smart internet marketers, you probably want to save a whole lot of time and money.  After all, if you were to create your own e-book for instance, expect to spend tens of hours doing the research you need, and then writing the book itself – and that’s if you’re only semi-decent at writing.  If you’re a good writer, it will still take you hours and hours and if you’re terrible, well, forget it, because your e-book won’t sell!

Now, you certainly won’t go wrong by hiring a good writer to create a really good e-book, but think about how much a good writer is going to cost you.  Wouldn’t you rather spend that money on getting visitors to your site so you can make more money?

I’m pretty sure, like me, you’re always looking for ways to save time and money on your Internet marketing business.  I’ll easily spend hours each week just reading up on the latest Internet marketing happenings and news, in the endless search of improving the way I do business.  In my latest search, I came across a really unique website, that’s well worth you checking out if you are serious about time and money saving:

PLR Wholesaler.com

Now the name is pretty self-explanatory.  This site was created by an Internet marketer for Internet marketers, and it’s a one-stop shop for PLR material.  E-books, reports, training videos, e-courses – you name it! 

The really wonderful thing about this site though is that membership is free.  You can sign up as a VIP Member, which won’t cost you a cent, and you can download a huge amount of PLR material for free!

You can sell that material yourself as part of your own Internet marketing business, and of course, you can change any part of the product to suit your target audience. 

Don’t be put off by the free part either, in terms of the quality of the material that’s on offer, because I’ve downloaded the free PLR stuff myself and it’s of a really high quality.

I’ve paid plenty of writers in my time to create digital products, and I can honestly say that the quality of this material is just as good, if not better – without me having to pay the money I would pay a writer.

In addition to the free PLR material you can download as VIP Member, you can also access heaps of great information about how to improve your internet marketing business.

You also have the option of paying a small one-time fee to become a Full Member of the site, and that will entitle you to even more fantastic PLR products to download and sell, plus you can become an affiliate of the PLR Wholesaler website itself, and receive a great commission whenever somebody you refer signs up as a Full Member.

Regardless of whether you’re a paying member or not, you will have access to a regular e-newsletter that gets sent out, and if the testimonials are anything to go by, it’s definitely one e-newsletter that’s worth your while. 

I can vouch for that too, and I am a real pro when it comes to deleting emails that bore me!

So, please do me a favor and join now – this is a site that’s definitely worth your time regardless of your level of experience in internet marketing, so visit it now at:

PLR Wholesaler.com

I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Until next time, may you keep on selling!
