Is list building worth it?

Is list building worth it?

Well, no - not if that's the only thing you're doing.

You have to market to the list too. Keep them engaged, and display your authority just often enough.

A "list" is the most important asset to you business.. don't ever forget that..

Yes it's worth it. The long term money is in the list.

and is itworth it JUST to build a list? without making websites, product etc
i mean increase your list size and give them value + promoting them?

Is list building worth it?

Is a frogs A%#@&SS air tight?
If you answered yes, you have your answer.

Honestly because I'm pretty sure that you're going to take 'the money is in the list' literally and just build a squeeze page, offer a freebie and drive solos to it to build an unresponsive list....no. Don't bother it will be a waste of your time.

Owning a list that is 10k+ big becomes expensive...

Doesn't lists have higher CTR and response rate to offers compared to a blog?

Money spent to build a list will always be returned. The money is in the list. Don't even consider, go ahead build a list, your live will change.

successful businesses have been building lists since long before the internet

Build a list, look after your subscribers well and the list will become one of the most valuable business assets you have. The money isn't (I'd suggest) in the list rather the relationship and trust you build with your subscribers. So yeah, absolutely worth it.

1. Yes
2. Yes.
3. Very promising

You can defenetly make money with the help of a big list. But having a list shouldn`t be your sole objective. Make money while building the list to make it worth it.

HELL YEAH! It's amazing and theres sooo many ways you can make money with it. So many different types of strategies, and methods.

I highly recommend you get in it NOW!

It is worth it 100% but the options need to be targeted... Best scenario is if you're giveaway and product ARE THE SOLUTION to the problem they're looking to solve. And if you can populate yore list with NON freebie seekers, you'll be much better off. This can be done in a multitude of ways like:
1. Do a low priced WSO to get desperate/interested people signing up.
2. Do a kw ppc campaign to your squeeze page/ wso.
3. Offer to write a free bonus product for another product vendor
Etc...

Building a list = building customer base. That's the most important thing to do in every business I believe.

List building is well worth it! The problem though is people think the money is "in the list"

This is completely FALSE!

The money is in the relationship you have with you list. Many people will just make a list and try to sell products day after day without giving any true value.

In order to build a highly responsive list you need your customers to
KNOW, LIKE, and TRUST you.

So yes work on building a list - but make sure your prospects get to know you and that you provide them with MASSIVE value

Quite often building a list of interested
and targeted prospects is the fuel of
your business. You'll still have to be
very mindful of the demographic of
your list.

Strongly consider where you promote
your opt in form, as this will determine
how responsive your list will be.

Do not be discouraged, however,
because the law of averages will be
on your side. Not everyone on your
list will want what you have, but
someone will.

If you take that approach and focus
on creating more and more
prospects each day you will make money.

As post in this thread states, the money
earned will vary from list to list. Factors
such as; follow up frequency, available
value, and (again) where you promote
your forms.

List building is only worth it if you see your subscribers as real people and not just numbers. Create a bond with your list and they will give you money.

of course it is. You have to build relationship with your list though

Focus on building a list of BUYERS, not freebie seekers. Little tip: They don't necessarily have to buy your products.

Then, pick a product to promote and set up a week long email series, with the call to action on the last two days. The first 5 days should sequentially explain the problem, and then you solve it on days 6 & 7.

For example, I'm all about Android, so if I want to promote an Android product, I would start off on Monday by explaining that I've heard about all these people who are killing it with mobile apps. I'd show stats etc. Then, over the next few days I would reveal how these people are doing it (making and selling apps). I'd make them hungry to want to get in on it and then provide the solution toward the back of the week. Spend a good few hours setting it all up, working on each day's email. This should be the start of your sales funnel. Then, anyone that buys product 1 goes onto another 'buyers' list that I do the same again with a different product.

Anyone that doesn't buy then goes onto another 'non-buyer' list that I email random promotions to.

I've found a lot of success with this model. Remember to filter out buyers onto another list and do the same again with a different product.

In short, there is a LOT of money to be made from a list, as long as you have a strategy and manage it well.

Build a list with honesty and integrity. Keep a good relationship with them and they will take care of you.

I would just say yes yes and yes.
