Building a list

Hey Guys,

I thought I may have been on my own with list building ! Bill, Jack,
It' s comforting to know that we are all at different levels, and the more experienced members are willing to offer there help.

Thanks Charles for your shared info.

My response is similar to those who have already posted....the money is definitely in the list.

A squeeze page with an offer of a really good report is a decent way to build your list. On all of my sites I offer a minimum of 2 reports to secure the opt-in.

If you want to see an example head to www.OnlineSuperWealth.com which is a simple squeeze page with an offer.

An important factor is to direct traffic to your squeeze page, and you must have well placed content to do that.

As my mentors (if you are just starting...hunt someone down to show you the way!) have pointed out many, many times...content is king.

Be sure to post a quality article in an ezine etc with the link to your squeeze page. If you have a good offer there, people will opt-in and you will start raking it in!

The downside is...when you are just starting out even that can seem overwhelming. Do not get discouraged...stay awake later and get up earlier, it will come together for you if you put the work in, even if it is 30 minutes in morning and 30 minutes at night.

Take Care

Some excellent tips here. I especially like the point about quality over quantity. So true!

It's really in the relationship you develop with your subscribers. A mailing list of 1,000 subscribers can outperform a mailing list of 10,000 subscribers if the relationship is there.

Some of my favorite list building techniques include...

article marketing
ad swaps
video marketing
free reports

Simple... but it works.

Hello Everyone

On the subject of "content is king" has anyone used the ContentFX membership site?

If it delivers half of what it claims it would be a real time saver. This my first post so apologies if this question is inappropriate.

Those were some really great tips that Charles
gave...

I use a lot of those methods myself to build my
different lists...

Here's a screenshot of one of my smaller Clickbank
accounts...I sent a mailing to one of my sublist
and made $600 and that wasn't the updated
image:

That is proof of how important having even a small list is to your
online business, but the important thing to remember is to make
sure to build a good relationship with your subscribers before you
start bombarding them with offers...

Good Relationships = BIG MONEY!!!

I'm just now getting my list built.. I had a small software created from scriptlance.com and added it to a couple giveaway sites. The visitor has to enter info in my squeeze page to get software, I had 114 subscribers in the last 24 hours..

It seems to be working great!

steven g. johnson and charleskirkland --

very impressed with both of your profits. I was just wondering, were the hundreds/thousands dollars of profit from a high ticket item? Or did you make so much money by selling something cheaper to a HUGE list with lots and lots of sales?

I'm asking because right now I have a new, small list (although growing everyday). what should my strategy be? should I try to sell an expensive item or just keep hitting them with small stuff? Or should I send a couple newsletters (since my newsletter is brand new) without any product offers at all to build trust?

Hey Jordan,

My advice to you is to not send them offers just yet...

Work on growing your list and building trust with them
at the same time...

Remember, a list of 300 subscribers that trust you is always
better than a list of 10K subscribers that have no trust for
you...

Yeah, that's what I was leaning towards... thanks for the advice Steve.

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of building a list, and I'm taking the squeeze page approach with a giveaway report, can anyone share the best way/s to get traffic to it at a reasonable cost.

Thanks.
