What is a List? This can be likened to say a hardware store, where they take your name and send you the occasional mail recommending a certain product because it is on special or because the owner is aware of a common problem in the area and he has just the item to solve it for you.
With the speed of growth of Internet Marketing more and more newer ones are starting every day. Some may need assistance learning the ropes while others may require certain products to over come different problems they may be facing.
Every successful Marketer has a list of prospect plus they have a list of regular customers. For us at the start we need to find customers but finding prospects is often quite easier.
We start by having what is called a squeeze or leed Capture page. This is a small site that starts with a eyeball grabbing or pleasing headline with a mind blowing sub headline, a couple Bullet points as to the value of joining with your list and an Autoresponder code box to get your prospects name and email address.
Before we go any further I suggest very strongly that you pick up an Ebook called "Building Your List With Ease"
A perfect publication that gives you a step by step method explanation on how to build a list. It is simply explained in such a way that
everyone will understand and it is FREE! An upgrade to on sell it is
offered for a remarkably next to nothing and it does sell real easy but that's your choice. either way however I highly recommend you to get your hands on a copy if you don't have one!
Back to building your list. Before you take that step one of the first things for you to do is to decide what marketing area your going to concentrate on or work in. The choices are many and varied. What ever subject you can think of there will be a strong possibility that a market exists for it some where or some how. The trick is to find a market that is not flooded with Marketers trying to sell to a limited market.
First step is to decide on what you know a lot about or what you just love doing. This is usually the easiest choice to go with. Let's say your a football fan. I suggest not to tackle the football subject on a broad basis because it is such a huge subject particularly considering the fact of the many different types and styles of football being played. Rather break it down to find a smaller sub areas or niches. Perhaps choose one team and develop from there or last weeks game between two teams. What ever you decide to work in make sure you keep it interesting and to the point.
Now we need to set up a squeeze page. There are many places you set set one up such as Instant Bonus Page or
Ad Kreator or you may like to grab a Free html Editor and make your own without joining another place, if so I use http://komposer.net which is simple and easy to use.
Next write 7 to 15 separate emails on a subject dealing with your niche to send to your prospects after they have joined. Your Autoresponder does this automatically once you have set it up and placed the code into your squeeze page. Your now ready to start building your list. Next we will consider your autoresponder and how that works
