Four Ways to Build a List with No Money Part 1
Be sure to catch part 2.
You’ve heard it before – if you want to succeed online you must have a list of your own.
Every guru says it. Ever wonder why?
Because it’s true!
With a list of your own you can advertise anything you want any time you want as often as you want … all FREE!
There is no more powerful weapon in any marketing arsenal than a well-developed mailing list.
And email marketing is by far the most powerful form of marketing online. It’s been proven again and again.
With a list you have marketing power and can even participate in joint ventures.
Without a list you have to buy advertising or do other forms of free marketing to get the word out.
Those work, and they work well, but they are much harder. So why not take the easy route?
The reason for list building is economic, plain and simple. If you want a real freedom the best way is to have a list of your own. In 2006 I made a full time living with a mailing list of only 12,000 people. This can be done!
You can do it too!
There is no doubt that the single most valuable asset I own online is my mailing lists.
With them I can build, or rebuild, a business. Without them I’m back at square one.
But what if you have a list yet?
First things first – everyone who has a list now was in your shoes at one point. We all started with zero subscribers and had to learn the fine art of list building.
The good news here is that it’s not as hard as you think if you are willing to use the “slow and steady” approach instead of they hyped up “go from 0 to 100,000 in 90 days” approach.
One word about “slow and steady”. While I am not advocating taking any longer than needed to build your list I am saying that putting time on your side matters … a lot.
Think about how long you have been trying to make money online. Now thing about this – what if you had added only 200 people a week to your list every week of that time? How many people would be on your list today?
For many the answer is thousands and thousands.
There are many ways to begin building your list – too many to cover here. So today let’s look at four free ways that really work.
Full disclosure: I used each of these when starting to build my list and still use each one of them today. They work!
Here are four simple ideas you can use today to start building a list of your own even if you don’t have any money to spend, a website of your own or any traffic!
But first, what do you need to get started?
It goes without saying that you will need a landing page and an autoresponder before you begin building a list of your own. You will also need messages to send to your new list.
These things are much easier than they used to be and both are covered in other articles on this blog.
Suffice to say that if you have Aweber you are good to go from a technology standpoint.
With Aweber you can build unlimited lists and they will even host a basic lead capture page for you free.
Many people don’t know that Aweber will host your form for you but they will. This means you do NOT need a landing page other than the one they provide if you do it right. What they provide is basic, but it works and is included in your service so there is no cost.
That makes life so much easier!
Now to the four ideas for today. These tactics work for me and have for years. I hope they will work for you too.
To Your Success,
J Mark
