Don’t be afraid to “Press The Button!”

This is a concept that I picked up from a free report that was going around as part of the promotion from Tellman Knudson and Shawn Casey for listbuilding.com

Basically once you’ve made the decision to build a list, the most important thing to do is to use the broadcast button. You see the whole point of building a list is that you can drive traffic on demand to whatever website you want.

One of the best feelings in the world is to waking up in the morning to find that the affiliate promotion you mailed your list about 24 hours ago has earned you hundreds of dollars worth of commission.

Assuming you’ve got a traffic strategy in place that’s generating you fresh leads you can blast out 2 or 3 times a week and keep on making those extra affiliate sales per broadcast, over and above that generated via your normal follow-up.

Notice that I said a consistant traffic strategy, everytime you send out a broadcast you will have people using the unsubscribe link, but this is a good thing. If someone doesn’t want to hear what you’ve got to say then the chances of selling them something are zero, so it’s best to keep on selling to those like hearing from you.

If you’re like me and regulary purchase IM products you will be on a lot of other marketer’s list. When you see the same being promoted in your inbox it’s a clear indication that a hot selling product launch is in progress. This means that you should grab yourself an affiliate link, and cash in on all the hype.

Also you should be aware that it can take people up to a dozen visits to a salespage before they buy, so taking the time to write a follow-up email can really pay huge dividends.

So in conclusion the point I’ve been trying to make is that regular contact via the broadcast button is the quickest way to give your bank balance a quick boost. Take a look around this blog, do you notice that even though I’ve sent you free content today the blog has several links to affiliate products, which is building on the follow-up / repeat exposure required to clinch the sale.

The last tip is marketing 101, so make sure that you’re blog has related affiliate links to capitalise on the repeat traffic your list generates.

Why Should You Build A List?

Now I don’t know where you are in your attempt to make money online, but I want to write this article to explain to you what happened when I started to focus on listbuilding.

A couple of years ago I found all these great internet marketing products that promised to make me a fortune, all I had to do was to repeat the formula written in the book. So like a true newbie I send all my traffic to the affiliate link I had been given, and waited for the sales to pour in.

After all if I was convinced enough to pay good money for this information everyone else would be…

Sadly it was hype, and I spend a fortune on things I didn’t need / know how to use. What’s worse was that I build up a rather nice pile of debt rather than extra income.

Now through my vain attempts at promoting things via blatent spam posting of forums I found a few great people who helped me understand marketing, and realise that promoting the ebooks you buy is the reason why the seller gets richer and you as a buyer get poorer.

By creating my own brand and building a list I’m now in a much better postition, and in 2007 I generated a 5 figure profit. This was achieved through listbuilding, and leveraging the traffic that a list gives you. Now listbuilding is not easy, and it does require work if you want to achieve good results - doesn’t everything in life!

Over the next couple of weeks I’m going to be expanding on this topic and putting together a step by step guide to the perfect squeeze page. If you want to take advantage of this you need to have your own hosting account and an aweber account in order to progress.

If you’re really green behind the ears and don’t have your own domain or a hosting account then please visit DiscoverCpanel.com it’s a great resource that will save you hundred of dollars and hours of frustration by picking the correct hosting company for your needs.

Yes I know this means you have to spend about $50 per month on services, but these are the keys to the high street shop front rather than the back street market stall you’re currently running.

Happy List Building
