How Big a List do You Want?
Well, what can I say about the size of an Internet marketer'slist? >From my point of view, the size of your list is somewhatrelevant (I said somewhat)... Nobody can say, "You need X amountof subscribers to be successful." It doesn't work like that.What you need, is a list of RESPONSIVE subscribers. You may havea list of 10,000 people with a conversion rate of 0.2% (20people will buy), or you may have one of 1,000 with a 2% rate. Don't get me wrong here... of course you want t...
...o keep onbuilding your list... I didn't stop at X number and said "That'senough" (Who in their right mind would!!!). Of course, thebigger the better, but what I'm saying is you don't need to have10,000 subscribers to make money online. ------------------- SIDE BARThere is a great book just published about How to build yourOpt-In List. I've read tons of book, and this one is by far thebest one I've read yet. It is FR.EE for download here:http://www.markmadeez.com/TheOptInStrategy.pdf-------------------What you need is a good conversion rate, and to get thatconversion rate, you need to cultivate your list. When I saycultivate, I mean develop a credible and trusting relationshipwith your subscribers. Get them to trust you by deliveringuseful content and information throughout your mailings, goodproducts, and good programs. Don't use your list for blastingSolo Ads after Solo Ads! You will see your subscribers fall likeflies... your unsubscribe rate will go through the roof so fast,it'll make your head spin!!!. This is not what you want, right?You want people to read you, you want people to write to you,you want people to come to trust you, and then to buy from you. To deliver useful content and information to your list, you need2 things... an Autoresponder and an Ezine. Easily said, right?You know what? It's easier than you think... my 12-year-olddaughter could do it. You don't even need to know how to write.There are plenty of resources and articles to help you developan Ezine. Just by doing a general search on the Web for "EzineArticles”, you will find thousands of articles, free forreprint, in all existing categories (Marketing, Sports, Traveletc.). So, whatever you specialize in or are passionate about,you will be able to find articles to put in your Ezine. The onlycondition to using these articles, is to include the Author'sresource box and to leave it intact. Every online business owner will say, "The gold is in thelist!", right? I'm sure you've heard it before. But the golddoesn't just appear like magic... you've got to work your ownmagic for it to appear.
