Hmm.... Now to list building

Hey fellow warriors, I am finally getting back into IM after a couple of months taking off. I had to get some other things right in my life before I could move on with IM. Since I am getting back into it I want to start with list building with affiliate marketing. When I first was trying I did not have any money or money coming in so it was hard and frustrating. Plus I was bouncing around a lot trying different things and not staying focused to one thing. This time I just want to focus on this particular model.

But the only thing is that I don't know where to start. I need some help on getting started. So I wanted to know if a warrior could help me get a good start in the right direction. I have 100$ to start off with for the budget. I hope to be able to make 35$-50$ after my first month. I think that is a goal worth shooting for. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank You

    It depends what your skills are and how much you want to outsource.
    Make sure you research the niche well and write a solid autoresponders series. You can get a well converting squeeze page quite cheaply. Then get quality traffic and make sure your autoresponder series get good response rates. If you need more details on any part feel free to ask.
    100usd is not much so do yourself what you can.

    Sounds like you are looking for a beginning method to make money. I think it's worth noting that list building is kind of a "long term" strategy used in combination with other forms of marketing, like say product creation.

    So yes, while I would highly recommend you start list building, you should you it with other methods.

    When you say you're looking for a method, well there's a ton of ways you can go, some of the top of my head: AdSense, CPA (Cost-Per-Action), Affiliate Marketing, Product Creation... the list goes on and on.

    Cheers,
    Ben

    Don't worry at all: that's enough. That's (a little) more than I spent on starting my whole business.

    Yes, I agree - I think that's a well-judged goal. I didn't actually manage it, myself, but I got everything wrong that you can get wrong. I still think it's a good goal, anyway.

    And good luck!

        hi just a few points

        If your going to start with list building I would use it to add value first if you try to monitize a new list in the first month people will leave,

        I know for a fact there is no quick money in list building ,
        there are other avenues for that such as affiliate products ect just be clear on you intention

        I would use your money to build a list of course but initailly you will see very little return it takes time to build trust etc

    List building is a great idea - if you know what you want to do with the list.

    By building a list you are basically building an audience. It is always good to know what you want to tell your audience before you assemble them.
