Questions about List Building

Here's more about list building here Maling List Building Books, Reports and Scripts List Building 101

Set up a autoresponder series of targeted reports.

A very easy way to get started with list-building is to join JV giveaways. The principle behind these events is that you join as a contributor and contribute a product that is either yours or that you have rights to give away. When the event goes live to members, they join and browse through the gifts. Gifts rank by the points that contributors get by referring more members/contributors.

Some people will say that lists you build from giveaways are freebie seekers, but I say that it's all in how well your list likes you. Some people preach graduating your list to buy higher ticket items or shoving your list down a funnel as if they were but numbers instead of real people.

Back to the point: giveaways can get you 100 or more subscribers per event if you join the right ones, contribute a desirable gift, etc. This all takes very little work too

Good luck,

The best way to start building a list is with twitter it is a huge marketplace and just by posting your optin link with a free report once a day it is very easy to have a 1,000 list in a fortnight whatever you do dont buy lists and stay away from giveaways as even though you will get numbers on your list they will either unsubscribe or wont be responsive and the key is making money from your list.

By contributing on here with your sign up in your sig it will make a real difference.

Make sure you pick a reliable auto responder service that is easy to navigate.

Also, build a solid relationship with your list. Don't only bombard them offers...actually try to connect with them on a personal level because people will spend money with people that they like.

Hope this helps

aapillc,

Let me do you a favor and explain what it is I know your thinking, because I have been there before too.

In order to "start list building" you need to know a few key factors.

- Autoresponder - software that allows you to capture names
- squeeze page - some page that does the name capture (uses name and email fields from your Autoresponder program)
- sales page - the page that does the sales work for your product or affiliate program.

In general, you setup your sales page, then create a list in your autoresponder program. Your list will have a name, some e-mail address for your notifications, and some general fields. Just fill them out as you go. You will be asked for things like a "thank you page", but that can come later.

Next, in your autoresponder program, create the "webform", This is the part that will be added into your "squeeze" page. IT is just copy and paste in most cases.

Then you post your squeeze page to your site area.

Then, test it all to make sure it works. Once it works, you start driving traffic to your sales or squeeze page depending on either your product, or how you setup your "site flow".

Traditional flow (generally goes like this):

Traffic -> Squeeze -> signup -> send follow up emails -> more sales
Traffic -> Sales page -> sale ->signup -> download page -> send follow ups -> more sales

The key factor is to get the signup. Once you have the signup you can promote to the "list" at later dates. The first option works best with free offers, where they signup to get your offer, and the second option works well if they are existing subscribers and you want to "move them to a new list".
