Whether you read a lot of article’s, sales pages or blogs about building your own list, it’s important that you ensure the list that you are building will purchase from you. There is nothing worse than building a list that will buy nothing from you even if you send them a great offer.
I read a thread in a forum today from a lady who has been building a list for over a year of hard work. Her list was over 1000 so she should be making a decent income from this list. Now get ready for this, to date she has not made 1 sale. Nothing Nada Zilch! My jaw fell to the floor when I read the thread. She was asking why! If she needs to ask that question then she has obviously not ensured her list is targeted to whatever she is selling, giving away etc.
It is important that you research your intended market to ensure that you have all the relevant information before you embark on a costly time and money traffic plan to build your list. For example!
You must ensure your emails are getting through to your list. Use only a top class autoresponder.
Ensure your email/newsletter etc is targeted to the right audience.
Make sure you send frequently. Each list is different so you will have to gauge your customers.
You must ensure your customers are given the right call to action both in the email/newsletter Heading and text.
This is but just a few of the actions you must take to ensure your list is responsive to your information/offers.
I built one of my lists using Affiliate Funnel a great programme run by two online professionals Jon Olsen and Paul Kinder. Pay them a visit and have a look for yourself.
