Text Why is It Difficult To Build Your Own Responsive List? Author: Terry Stewart Copyright (c) 2007 Terry Stewart How many times have you... Joined a list building program with all the hope in the world of building a massive list. Where you can sell your products and/or promote your affiliate programs to a lot of eager buyers! The problem with joining all these list building schemes like eg."Your Lucky List", is that all the people on your email list are not strictly your personal list. You see these programs come up with complicated matrix systems, which every now and again you get to post a message to "your list" which is getting lots of other messages form other people in the program. True on some of these programs you get credit for reading other subscribers post. But do you have time to read hundreds of emails a month ? I know I don't Lets face it, all you are doing by joining these super list building programs is giving the program owner a gigantic list. While I am not taking anything away from these owners and why should I. It is not helping you to obtain your own responsive list and lets to face it to make money you need your own list. How may times have you heard the saying that the money is in the list? A lot I should think well I will attempt to show you that by building your own responsive list that you will benefit in the end. You must focus on what is important and that is to have great useful content that your subscribers want. So that you can build your very own responsive list. There are millions of people surfing the web looking for content when I say content I mean information. Think about what you are searching for when you are surfing, then imaging that there are other many potential subscribers who are looking for content as well. The content must be useful, informative and helpful the content can come in many forms which I will cover later. What people do not want is the same old content that is not original and is ripped off from over sources. Writing articles is a great way of producing original fresh content that people are crying out for. Articles are an excellent way of driving laser guide targeted traffic to your lead capture page. You can achieve this is by putting a resource box at the end of each article with a link to your lead capture page. Articles are very easy to write and I'm sure that you must be good at some thing that you could write about, that can be of value to somebody else. The articles you write can also be used on your newsletter and special reports which you can produce once a month. Offer special reports, mini courses or ebooks to entice people to subscribe to your newsletter (list). Remember you are focused on providing useful content for your subscribers in your own responsive list. You must have a web host and lead capture page! It is essential to have a page on your web server that can get the names and email addresses of people who come through to your site. There are many software programs and that can help you make a lead capture page very easily. Just do a google search and you will easily find some. Plus there are lots and lots of good hosting companies out there with video instructions on how to upload your page on to your server. An autoresponder is an essential part in building your list on auto-pilot! When you have an autoresponder you can put your articles, newsletter, reports or mini courses on a autoresponder series so that your subscribers get your very own content to them. The reliable auto responders that I know work are getresponse and Aweber I suggest you start with them unless you already have one in mind. These autoresponders can generate forms that you can put on your lead capture page to get your subscribers information. Build up trust It is very important to build up trust between you and your subscribers. Don't start trying to sell to them on first contact. Just keep on providing good content so that the subscribers do not unsubscribe from your list. Don't make the mistake of sending out emails to your list every day because they will soon unsubscribe. You can start adding your own products at around the fourth or fifth message, but don't go crazy and try to sell 5 products or 20 ebooks at the same time. Always get feedback! Run surveys on your list try to gage what the people on your list want so that you can supply them later. Always answer all enquires that your subscribers may have and remember to give plenty of tips and bonuses away. You subscribers will over time build up trust with you and you will soon have them eating out of you hands. Work smarter not harder! Some time in life we do not have the time to do all the things we want to. So if you do not have the time to write articles you can obtain private label articles on what ever your niche is. but if you go down that route you must remember that there are going to be hundreds of people with the same content.
