I want to build a list for $100 but I don't know how.

This was the gist of an email I got today.

Let me tell you that I totally understand this mindframe because it kinda was mine, except that I was never one to be afraid to throw money at a new investment.

I spent a lot but I learned so much more, so I never consider it a loss.

For everyone trying to build a list, congrats on understanding that list is important.

There are many who make a killing without a list, but that's not the point of this thread.

However if you think you can build a list of any signifigance for $100 or anytype of one off payment you are kidding yourself.

building a list is an ongoing business and the only way to do it without going broke is if you are making money while doing it, and yes it's possible I do it as well as many others I know.

When you are getting paid to build your list, the sky is the limit.

You need to pay for an autoresponder, and traffic to your squeeze.

You could try to set up a blog and get organic traffic but that is a very long term game and still comes with its own costs. webhosting, domain name, and tons of time (time is money). Not to mention you will probably pay for seo services and stuff, ive been there.

The other option is to send traffic directly to your squeeze, which also cost money for the traffic. Unless of course you are swapping traffic, but in order to do that you need a list.

So don't hold yourself back with notions like I want a big list for cheap.

It will cost money and will take ongoing effort. Not necessarily alot of effort but consistent effort.

The magic bullet.

Make your list building efforts profitable, once you do that. You are more than half way there.

    I've had the same experience, JReed.

    Almost identical.

    I would go even further:

    People HAVE the money...

    ...they would just rather waste it on:

    1. Cable T.V.

    2. A Television - period.

    3. Chasing Sex (buying new clothes,
    excessive make-up, perfume, cars,
    big homes with mortgages, etc)

    4. Drinking or other drugs.

    5. Thousands of other intangible stuff
    they don't NEED but THINK they need
    because of what society TELLS them
    they need.

    So they're stuck in the middle.

    Human Nature drives them to want
    more for themselves...

    ...to seek wealth, riches and prosperity.

    ...yet the society in which we live
    simultaneously tells us to give away
    our wealth for stuff that doesn't matter.

    So we compare investing in OURSELVES

    ...with the upgraded option for leather
    interior in that BMW we can't afford.

    I'm just telling the truth because *I*
    used to be the same way.

    I used to go through money like it was
    going out of fashion and at the end of
    the day wondered, "Where the hell did
    it all go?"

    The answer?

    No where.

    It didn't go into personal development
    or investments to make me richer and
    wiser...

    ...it went into clothes, unnecessary
    expenses, drugs, and going out to buy
    the latest new technology.

    In fact...

    ...my goals used to BE to earn enough
    money so I could get get those things.

    Funny enough...

    ...I would always earn "just enough" to
    get the stuff I thought I wanted.

    I never got more than expectations set
    on myself.

    So I get it.

    But I tell people there are NO excuses!

    Ultimately, it was *I* who wanted a
    change.

    There was no one else who wanted it
    more than me.

    When I SOUGHT change...

    ...I became it.

    And so began a journey of enlightenment.

    No one in first world countries are resigned
    to their fate as consumer sheeps.

    We HAVE a choice.

    So I don't want to hear how someone
    "only has $100 to invest in themselves",
    when you have people in Africa BEGGING
    for food and clean water...not for themselves,
    but for their starving brothers and sisters.

    Its not that people don't have money. They just don't know how to use it. And, unfortunately many look upon IM as a push button money money source (which doesn't exist) and end up losing the money and trust they started out with.

    Spend $80 getting a product created that you can give away for free. Spend $20 doing a WSO.

      Nothing wrong with creatning a product have created a few myself and for others.

      But I didn't see real success until I simply promoted as an affiliate.

      All the work has been done to get it converting and all you need to do is plug and play.

      But if you want to build a product go for it.

      For me it was more just to say I have my own product, but as I said the money came when I promoted as an affiliate.

    That is very true. You don't need a list to make a full time income online.

    You can just buy as much targeted traffic and build your income that way. (Example: solo ads and pay per click ads).

    Get web hosting, a domain name and set up a sales funnel for an affiliate product. The OTO can be an affiliate product as well. Should be able to do that for well under $100.

    WSO's is great for list building Write a short report yourself which helps people solve some kind of problem, then spend the $100 on WSO's and paid traffic which is sent to your squeeze page Solo ads is the best paid traffic I have tried to this day.. Constantly trying new methods though

    I agree with the above comment from Warrior Rene, WSO are a great way of generating a list.

    I also suggest Solo adds as they have always been a sales converting success for me.

    Also generate 100% Free targets traffic from Facebook, Twitter, Pin interest they are all great sources of internet traffic, YES it takes time to create accounts but it actually converts and in the long run it’s far more rewarding. With these social media sites you can get a sale within just hours of posting quality content.

    Google Alerts is great since you can jump into your niche discussion provide quality content which results in sales.
