You’ve probably heard one single phrase more than any other in the internet marketing niche…
…and you probably ignored it for quite a while.
You might STILL be ignoring it, and will continue to do so until you actually ACT on the advice.
At which point you’ll scream out (as I did):
“I wish I’d done this SOONER!!!!”
You already know I’m talking about building a mailing list, and the phrase in question is of course ‘The money is in the list’. Ah yes, that old chestnut!
I’m talking about collecting the contact details for a group of people so you can communicate with them at the click of a mouse with your offers, content and products.
I can send a single email and make tens if not hundreds of dollars with that single click
That’s why you need to concentrate a LOT of your time into building your email list.
But that’s not the point of this article.
This you already know and nothing on God’s Green Earth will convince you to start building your list until the time is right for you. No, the point of this article is to tell you what I learned myself much later…
…that the list building never stops and if you want to continue making good money from your list you have to build your list every single day.
I'm small fry by comparison and add at least 100+ people to my list each month. With unsubscribes that usually comes out at around 70 new, fresh subscribers on my list who are eager to open my emails and buy.
But conversely, if I DON’T build my list I will continue to make money but my income from email marketing will drop over time as people stop opening my emails, move away from the IM niche, change email addresses and a dozen other things.
But you’d be surprised at the number of established marketers who don’t have a listbuilding strategy built into their business model. Building a list isn’t a task to be accomplished then you can move on to other things like building a website or designing a logo.
You have to see it as a living thing that needs ongoing attention.
You know how going shopping for food every month is an ongoing, never ending thing?
That’s how you need to see your listbuilding…
