How many times you heard “money is in the list”? I heard it many times why? Because with a list of subscribers you can find ways to monetize it easily: e.g you can sell them affiliate or your own products, you can provide useful contents and sells your advertising space on your ezine, you can drive traffic to your adsense sites and if your subscribers click on the ads, you can make some money, you can do quite a lot with your subscribers.
But first you need to know how to build a list. In this tutorial, we will going through step by step on how do I build my list. There are lots of ways but I will put only what works for me and that’s it.
So how do you build a list?
First step, get an autoresponder. What is an autoresponder? you ask. Autoresponder basically is a computer program that sends preset email messages to your subscribers. I mean you can send a message when someone optin your list immediately, then 2 days later you send them another message. This what an autoresponder can do for you. I am not going through the details here. If you are not sure, of how autoresponder works, you can try optin to one my list “Ultimate Marketing Guide”, It is a free report that shows you how do you get free traffic, get top 10 rankings in Google and many more. If you don’t know how it works, I will recommend you sign up to that list and get a feel. Don’t worry you can opt-out anytime, and your information will be 100% safe.
Anyway, so your first step will be getting a reliable autoresponder. Many marketers will suggest you sign up with Aweber or GetResponse. Personally I haven’t tried Aweber but I did try GetResponse. It is a good system. There are videos show you step by step on how to set it up. The best part I like about the system is they have a “spam filter” built in ; what I mean is how likeliness that your email will get caught with spam. You know spamming is a big issue in email marketing. To make sure you important message delivered to your subscribers inbox, I think this feature is important.
But what I don’t like Getresponse is they let your subscribers to optin to your competitors list. What I mean they will show you another boxes that you can subscribe to!
So today your action step will be signed up an autoresponder, get familiar with it and that’s it.
Next week, I will show you how to set up an opt-in form and add it to your website. so stay tune!
