There is nothing more satisfying than sending a broadcast to your
e-mail list with a new product or business opportunity knowing that a
certain percentage will take action and make a purchase. This is the
stage most network marketers strive to reach as once this bench mark is
achieved making money becomes a lot easier. In fact some affiliate
marketers have such a strong e-mail list that they can anticipate how
much can be earned from each new product email broadcast.
Building a strong e-mail list takes time, effort and a degree of trial and error and should be seen as your future income means and as such is not something you want to cut corners on. Firstly I will cover what not to do when building an e-mail list.
- Do not use list generators
- Do not purchase email lists
- Do not grab random e-mails from the internet or adverts
I would like to cover the above in a little more detail. Firstly e-mail generators are software programs that sweep the net taking email addresses from adverts and other sites with e-mail addresses on. This will be classed as spamming as the owners of these e-mail addresses did not give you permission to send out e-mails and in any case may not be interested in your offers.
Purchasing email lists is also a big NO for me for one simple reason. The e-mail list may have opted into the original e-mail list owners offer but they haven't opted in to yours and therefore are less likely to be interested in your offer. A trick many internet marketers practice is to go through adverts for business opportunities and take down email addresses to build their own e-mail list, once again this will be spamming and in line with the CAN-SPAM act of 2003 can only get you into trouble.
So we have covered what not to do let's take a look at how you can build your own profitable e-mail list. Firstly remember that you will want to be targeting the type of people who will be interested in your offer or offers. So for example if you are an affiliate marketer selling video creating products you will want to target other affiliate marketers or people promoting business opportunities. The most successful e-mail list builders use a number of methods to build their e-mail marketing lists and here are a few below.
- Write about your niche and submit to article directories.
- Create your own blog and write about your niche
- Try some offline advertising such as ads in your local paper
- Find a good solo ad supplier and run an ad every week
- Open a YouTube account and post some videos about your niche
- Use other social media such as Facebook and Pinterest.
By using all or some of the above methods and using a link to your capture page you will start to build your own e-mail list which will be a list made up of targeted traffic (the best kind). Remember this may take time but keep at it and you will reap the rewards as others have done before you.
