You Don't Have a Mailing List

                                                                                         

What do you mean you don't have a mailing list? Didn't anyone tell you that the money is in the list? Oh! I see you are only just starting online, and you only have a hobby. Well, there is a problem with having just a hobby online, in that the majority of people, who do, make very little money.

It is nice to have a website relating to your hobby, but do you think it would be better to turn that into becoming an online business owner, and having a great income and business?

One of the first things you should do is start to build your list. Yes, there is money to be made through your list, but only when you have a list.

How do you go about building your list and what do you do when you are suddenly faced with a list who want information from you?

This is a step many people forget about, they concentrate so hard on building their list, which they forget that the list will want to hear from them as well.

The simple part is to put an opt-in page on your site, and have a hook for them to sign up. But, the real work is the follow ups that you need to do. You might need to start writing content and then find products to recommend and sell to the list.

What do you mean you don't plan on selling, how do you think you will make any money if you never sell to them. You need both content and products; it is a balance of the two.

If you are using a downline builder, then you will find your list builder faster than you had imagined. The people who sign up to your list will also be wanting to get their list growing fast, and they will in turn be looking for people to sign up for their list.

As this list becomes a viral network, you will be able to send them great content. By that, you will have them waiting to read the next chapter. It will be like reading that novel which keeps you on the edge of your seat. You send them enough content to keep them interested, but leave them wanting more.

They become hungry, and hungry people need to be fed. When you keep them waiting long enough, you can then put in the product you are selling. They have become so hungry, that they are immediately clicking to find out the solution to their hunger. They'll want to know if they can learn something to pass onto their list, and make more money from them as well.

It is a never ending circle, you build your list, they build their list, you earn money from your list, and they earn money from their list. If you work on giving them the content not only to learn from but to make money from they will be buying from you, and your subscribers will be worth a lot more than $1 a month.
