The money is in the List

My list generates a 6 figure income

Just start small, buy some solo ads, do some ad swaps and you will get there eventually!

6 figures? That's awesome Andrew

Yes, Money on the list. This is the best way to keep returning customers for a long time.

Magnates hit it deadon. It's in the relationships you build in that list. You can have a million known good emails, but if there is no relationship it might as well be a million spam traps.

Based in experience, knowing how to communicate with our list effectively is more important, rather than worrying about the list size.

Simply because human will only buy our product. In order to persuade them, we need to know how to communicate, by aligning the solutions to their problems.

it's true that the money is in the list, but it is also true that the money is in the relationship that you build with your list. Here's my shocking story...

Before 4 years I was an internet newbie and all I knew was to build a squeeze page to build a list. I went about creating a simple squeeze page and started building my subscriber list. Just wrote around 478 articles in a short span of time around 2 to 3 months and submitted all around.

Slowly and steadily this created momentum and I build a list of 6000 subscribers. I went lazy and stopped marketing my site due to the income it was generating, however the initial surge of the articles sold over 20k worth of products having a 4 product funnel on my site.

I was excited but I never blasted any emails to the list, nor I made any relationship with them apart from the standard 10 follow up emails I had setup.

Results - My 6000 leads literally became unresponsive. Infact I shifted my autoresponder from an inhouse script to an online service and out of these 6000 leads only 24 transfered there. It was a shocking nightmare for me.

However this thought me a lesson to constantly develop relationship with your subscriber list or you will have to start from ground zero. However I am glad my 6000 leads made me good chunk of cash but that wasn't recurring income. However we do learn from the mistakes we make...:confused:

I have been online for a few years and can tell you that it is not all about your list.

People keep saying that and I don't think that it is 100% true.

If you can get a lot of people to see your offer every day and do this consistently, then you can make more or less the same amounts of sales.

You can make more money if you or the product owner has upsells attached to what ever you are selling.

The money is not in the list. It is more like the money is in how many people see your offer each and every day and how well it converts that determines your success.

This is why so many people are building lists and telling others to! Email, Mobile, IM, anything opt-in.

Thanks for all your responses. I am just starting to build my list and has 28 subscribers in it as I start.

I average $2.32/lead in my list! Woo!

Up to now my list has generated 6 figures..

I get $1 per month for my freebie list and $7 per month for buyers list..

Cheers,

yes the money is in the list..
targeted list is important, i remember when first time i build my list using free autoresponder from i contact they limited 500 for free list.
from them i start make some $$$ income promote some product launch that related to my subscriber's interest

I also have many confusions about this list thing. Well, actualyy how to build a list I guess the most common answer will be to use aweber on the blog or website and make people to subscribe. All right, than I need to send mails or most precisely sales letter which is loaded with the affiliates link. Is that all email marketing but xcuse me its not an art

I have found if you want to really experience the power of that saying....

"The money is in the list" it is not all true.

The power really is in how your treat your list, and the relationship you have with your list.

I have learnt this and by testing lots. if you do this correctly your income will grow with your list exponentially.

totally agree with celente

while list building is something i havent tried yet, i do believe that the relationship that you build with your list is EVERYTHING. a great trusting relationship results in a money list.

About that statement, i don't really believe that since it will not really determine that you are going well in your business. It's the relationship that will determine your flow of money.

I suppose I would say "There IS money in the list", rather than "THE money is in the list"

As with all areas of business, every model works differently. I would say most methods to make money online do need a good list, but there are plenty others that dont. Fiverr broking, Kindle publishing and affiliate marketing utiliising SEO are 3 examples. (that said, these three are very good tools to help build a list!)

One of the aspects that will improve sales is reputation. As I am fairly new to IM-ing its something I am working on. If people cant trust your product/service you wont get very far.

No it's not. It's in the relationship that you have with your list and the value that you provide. If the money was just in the list, spammers would be the richest people on earth.

Hi:

Shireen here :-)

Big list + Good relationship with your list = good money

Great insight on this thread...many people think that all you need to do is send traffic and your list will grow..its about making that relationship last.

I use solo ads because I am building up, but once I hit hat 2000 mark I will start doing adswaps. This is how to grow your list fast.

But the key here is having multiple streams of traffic to your squeeze pages, because with every email you send...you WILL get unsubs.. in fact some will unsub as soon as they get your free product

$004,000 a month hahahaha ROFL - Ramone.

I just started out with Internet Marketing a month ago. The first thing i learned about is "List Building" so that i what i am trying to do. Not making any money from the list as yet, but then again i'm not yet really selling, just trying to build it bigger with ad-swaps and solos, i'm sending related content to the niche as incentives so the list gets used to opening my emails, and i have tried a sales pitch or two, but the list is only at 122, which is hard to make money off i think.

Grow the list.....Grow the list.....people.

Yes the list is great to get more returning customers

having a great relashionship with your list is essential.What i do is surveys and i create how to tutorials, videos and articles showing my subscribers how to do xyz and it keeps the trust, makes you stand out and i teach them what i do in my business daily and good tip always treat your subscribers like your family.They should feel a bond with you.

My list provides 98% of my income...

... not 6 figures a month - but enough for me to pay all my bills and live comfortably and do what I love
