List Building

You may ask: Why is list list building important? It’s simple really.

When you build a list, you are actually building trust. People opt into your list and give you their email addresses simply because they trust you. At first, they may want the free e-book or offer found at your squeeze page but as you offer them good content and value, they begin to give you credibility and view you as an expert in the niche.

There after, when you have collected a sizable number of people’s emails in you list, you can slowly start to offer them your products and affiliate links, but again, don’t over do them.

Fortunately, you will be taught the correct ways of list building as well…

Hitting the Opt-In List Bull’s Eye! (or, Building Targeted Lists)

Posted on 23. Aug, 2009 by Dennis.

Although many of you now know the importance of building your lists, you might not be aware of how a highly targeted opt in list is paramount for your business. How about we change that?

First, decide on your niche or target market. Knowing what this is not only gives you something to focus on, but will help you find the people who will be interested in the information you have to provide.

Content May be King, But it’s All in the List

The first mistake many email marketers made is not being aware of spam rules. Generally speaking, spam is unsolicited emails that are sent to promote products or services that the recipient is not interested in.

When certain emails are marked as spam, the email never reaches the recipient, or is blocked and even deleted. To prevent this from happening, stay informed of the spam rules applied by your auto responder service. Take greater care in writing emails that are more informational and sound less like sales pitches.

Another common mistake email marketers tend to make is forgetting to send follow up emails to promotions. Getting someone to give you their email address is great, but if you capture…
