Why You Need To Have Your Own List Building Concept

People are continuously questioning whether opt-in lists are really doing well and, should we build a list at all?


There are very good reasons that some of the internets biggest gurus continuously tell you, that the money is in the list.

Beleive it or not, there are cases known, of marketers that have earned thousands upon thousands of dollars only by sending a single product promotion to their list. Clearly your opt-in subscribers have agreed to give you their details for one straightforward reason.

They recognised a profit or gain from being on your list.

Surveys have been conducted to confirm that using list building concepts are really one of the most efficient methods for website promotion. There are no signs that this piece of evidence could change in the near future.

The surveys that were conducted are also indisputable verification, of the massiv earning possibility behind an opt-in email list.

If a person has gone through a list building concept with a double opt-in, they have willingly agreed their name and email address to recieve extra information or offers from you. These subscribers enter their details because they do not want to fail to spot any future mailings that are, visibly of importance to them.

So just what does this tell us? Well, these subscribers have entered your list since they were targeted. Most marketers will set up a landing page in a exclusive niche. This may well be Golf, Fish, Dating, Marriage, Health or simular.

Traffic was sent to the landing page on the many channels we are hopefully all aware of, and when they saw that landing page they thought, eh, this is just what I was looking for, or it was an issue that they are interested in. That is what is known as "Target Marketing". If you put a landing page up for Cigars or Pipe Smoking, most of your opt-ins are going to be male. If you set up a landing page for a Stretch Mark Removal Cream, bets are, most of those opt-ins will be female. I am sure you follow the picture. Please don't make the blunder of sending your subscribers from the Cigar niche to an offer for Stretch Mark Removal Cream!

For each landing page or niche that you create, you will have to build a new list. Once again the high advantage here is, your list is targeted to that definite niche. The name you have given your list should in addition make this clear.

One more imperative thing to note is, do not barrage your list with product offers. If your list building concept was done in the approved manner, you have given your subscribers a gratis chunk of valuable information, an ebook that refers to your niche or a software that they must have in their marketing toolbox. This could be a link cloaking or keyword generation software.

Don't disregard though, these must be freebies. A bribe if you choose to call it that. Afterward you will lead them to your product on the backend.

To close this, really remember, people do not join companies, they join people. You are not merely building a list to generate profits, you are also builing relationships. These people must trust you and you must respect their trust. Looking after your subscribers and giving them these tiny valuable nuggets you can get hold of all over the net will binde them to you and they will remain waiting in anticipation of your next email.
