Your Money Is Still In Your
List - Build It!
You are a home
business entrepreneur. You have just built a fantastic website, acquired a host
of good products but your advertising budget is small. How do you go about
enticing people to your website? I know exactly how you feel because, like lots
of small home business entrepreneurs, I have been right where you are now.
Even if you’ve
only been marketing on the Internet for a short time, I’m sure you’ve
heard the saying, “the money is in the list”. A good email opt-in
list – a list you build yourself, is worth its weigh in gold. It is the
difference between being wildly successful and falling into the deep black hole
of cyberspace. So how you go about building an opt-in list without much money?
There are several ways to go about capturing leads cheaply or for free.
The most common method is to offer a free newsletter on your site. People who
surf the web surf do so mainly for information. Giving them what they want,
works. Offer free information as an incentive to join your list. Free works!
Don’t' offer something that is available everywhere you turn on the
Internet. Offer something of value – a mind-blowing free report, an e-book
packed with great information or an awesome free gift.
There are
numerous free
list-building programs that offer ways you can build your list. The List
Builder's Club, The List Machine, ListDotCom and Opportunity.com are just a few
of the good ones available. Sign up with one or all of them and see if they are
what you are looking for. If they are not, there is no need to waste time with
them.
Because of the spam factor, buying leads does not work as well as
it used to but it is still quite effective. It just takes more leads to get the
desired response. Right now lead companies are falling over themselves to sell
single opt-in leads cheaper than their competitors. Some companies are
literally giving them away free for a limited time at the rate of 2,000 per
day. Sign up with one of these companies and find an autoresponder service
still willing to allow you to import purchased leads. It is a numbers game.
Let's say you only get 50 – 100 sign-ups for your newsletter out of each
2,000, it is still not a bad deal. That is 1,500 – 3,000 additions to your
list each month at a fraction of what it would cost to buy double opt-in leads.
It is then up to you to build a relationship with the ones who have agreed to
opt-in to your list.
Traffic Exchanges are great places for getting leads.
Don’t expect a huge number of direct signups for your programs from them.
Most of the people surfing the Traffic Exchanges are advertising their products
or sites. They are not looking for programs to join.
The best way I've
found to work the Traffic Exchanges, is to join a few lead generation programs
of your choice and advertise them on the Traffic Exchanges. The people surfing
the Traffic Exchanges who are not getting results are open to offers from new
recruiting programs.
Run contests on your website and have people
subscribe to your newsletter as a requirement of entry. If your newsletter is
any good they will continue to receive it even after the contest is
over.
A fantastic list building method that requires no expenditure is
writing articles. Write articles and submit them to web sites, e-zines and
other places on the Internet. E-zine publishers are constantly looking for
fresh content so articles will always be in demand. "I can't write"! Sure you
can! If it means the difference between starvation and making money, you
discover just how well you can write. Get out your notepad and sit at your
computer with the TV and radio off and get something on the page. Everything
improves with practice and your writing will too. Try it. You have nothing to
loose and you may find you are a fantastic writer. Write about something you
know are familiar with or are an expert on. If you blatantly advertise your
products in your article, it will not be accepted. You can advertise your
website or your expertise in your Home Business in the resource box at the end
of your article.
I have found that it is best to implement several
methods to build your list quickly. Whatever method you use, remember that for
email marketing to be effective it must be targeted. Your prospective customers
must be interested in your product or service.
List building is not a
get rich quick method but it is still extremely effective. It takes time to
build a responsive email list and it may be several months before it becomes
the moneymaker you anticipate. With this in mind plan a really good lead
building strategy from the outset and you should gradually see your profits
soar. Your money is still in your list.
