E-mail addresses are absolutely the 'FUEL' for ALL of your
list building and sales potential, especially for E-Zines.
Without a growing list, which is a consistently fueled list
of responsive readers, your list can't make a positive
impact on your business sales. Are you trying to sell with
a dull and non-responsive small list?
There are steps that you can take to maximize the size of
your subscriber lists. Most old methods can be time
consuming and not productive. Some of them simply aren't
worth the time invested in implementing them.
What CAN Help? Co-registration Works
There are a few solid ways to build a list in record time.
Growing your list should be your FIRST and TOP priority.
Numbers always count in sales. The larger your list is, the
more people you can sell to. Smart list builders know that
a thriving and growing list has a better chance of
generating profits. Like a gardener, we must plant and
fertilize to harvest a cash crop.
To ALL Sellers => The LIST is the Life of Sales!
One of the biggest obstacles to making money on the net is
building a "rocking" subscriber list. Calling yourself a
business is very easy, but getting people to sign up, join
you and stay with you, is difficult. Your house list will
always be the guts of your online sales efforts.
As far as e-publishing goes, ezine publishing is not rocket
science. There are a number of publications telling you how
you can do it. There are hands-on classes that can teach you
the publishing ropes.
The sad part is until recently, no one would tell you how to
grow your list after it started, except those who offer a
hands-on experience to teach people how to set the list up,
then help you start it before launch! Yes, this is
available. It seems to be a well guarded secret but it works
because the black holes of list building, are addressed
before you even launch.
What happened to YOU when you swore that you would grow
your list, years ago? You probably never have a clue about
how to grow and fertilize your list. I'd guess that as a
newbie the few people you did ask, didn't have much advice
for you, besides ad swaps, which still suck up valuable
sales time.
Most people try a number of things like ad words, adding
ezines to directory databases (which can prove to be a real
waste of time) and word of mouth, which can certainly be
very time consuming.
I determined that nothing really worked until I fumbled and
stumbled on the truth: There are ONLY a few ways to grow a
list efficiently. Just using tricks that won't cost a ton
of money can be a losing proposition. In our business time
IS money! There are a few list building methods that won't
take a lot of your time. They can hand you a high quality
list that could possibly result in more sales, which is why
you're IN business, right?
How long did it take for you to figure these things out for
yourself? No matter how you build your list....there are
some people who won't remain on your list, no matter what
you do. The question remains: How much time do you have to
spend on losers?
Good economical list building services DO offer a valuable
service to list builders who have just started publishing
and need "start-up" newbie strategies for growing a list.
They help all marketers. List growth can help lead all of
us to increased sales potential. We all need a responsive
list in order to sell! If you're not selling, examine your
list.
Articles CAN and Do Help List Building!
Are you promoting your e-biz with articles? If not, you're
missing the e-boat to increased e-biz, brand identity. Feel
like you have a hard time writing your name? Hire a
ghost-writer and get articles circulating around the globe.
It's usually Free so make the time to get articles written.
Submit them to ezines and anyplace else who will accept them
from you. I can't stress this enough. Simply put: articles
can save you a ton of advertising cash! They can circulate
the net for years, if you include a permission to re-print
resource box, at the end of your articles.
Co-regstration and article writing can help you build your
lists in a highly efficient and economical manner. If you're
not using these list building methods, you should be!
