List Building Strategy: Why Use the Resource Box
By: Joel Christopher | Posted: 27th July 2007
Your resource box is very important. It may be small, or it may take up a little space, but if you are able to make best use of your resource box, it will actually help bring traffic to your site. Usual information that is included in a good resource box includes your name, your plan of action, your unique selling proposition and possibly your contact details or information.
If you are really trying to make a career as an internet marketer, one of the best things you have to create for yourself is a good resource box. Having these good resource boxes really helps you make good business online. Here are a few benefits that you get from it.
It helps build traffic.
This is the first advantage of having a resource box. It simply builds site traffic, especially if it is augmented with the presence of your other online marketing strategies. Building traffic is what separates the newbies from the gurus in internet marketing. You can only attain a considerable amount of success in this business if you are building traffic by means of using weapons such as your resource box.
It helps increase your keyword optimization.
If you have certain keywords in mind that you would include in your resource box, then you are most definitely inclined to optimize your keywords in your site when you make use of your resource box. Not only does it build traffic, but if properly used, enables you to boost your page ranking at a certain degree.
It is cheap and low maintenance.
You don’t have to spend a dime when you are building your resource box. So for literally nothing and few characters typed on your screen and automated to function regularly, you will find that you are benefiting much. In your internet marketing business, you have to be really resourceful and make use of your free resources as much as possible to be able to generate the income that you desire.
It entices people to visit your site.
The best thing about the resource box is that it is both assertive and subtle at the same time. You will find more people enticed to visit your site from viewing your resource box than at any other place in the world.
It increases your site’s visibility
The more you proliferate your resource box in various areas of your target market, the more syndication synonymous to a rapid and paid publicity that you get. And you do not even have to make followups when it comes to using your resource box because it will follow you naturally wherever you go.
Remember though that the resource box is just one among many other things you can use to be able to build your business site’s traffic. You will still have to learn other strategies that will help sustain whatever your resource box can do for you.
There are clearly so many other factors to consider in internet marketing business that goes beyond making the resource box effective, but for beginners, it is a good place to start.

About the Author
Occupation: Internet Marketer
Author, Speaker, Philanthropist,
Master List Builder, Family Man
When Joel Christopher came to the United States from the Philippines on August 8, 1988, he knew nothing about the internet. He was a physical therapist who wanted a better life for his family. Yet today, Joel is known among internet marketing gurus as the "Master List Builder".
Master List Builder
Recognizing the business and marketing potential of the Internet, he started his own online business in late 1999 and launched his first website on January 1, 2000, geared towards providing aspiring Internet entrepreneurs with a step-by-step guide to succeeding online. He was himself merely a beginner, or what he fondly calls a “newbie netpreneur”. After faltering and floundering in his first year online, he attended a live seminar, took a lot of notes and applied what he learned. It only took two months after that for him to become successful enough to quit his job and make a full-time living creating and selling products on the internet.
Speaker
Since, then, Joel has attended more than 100 live seminars, boot camps and conferences, and has actually spoken at more than half of them on the topic of "opt-in" list building. He has spoken in front of thousands of people in the U.S. and Canada and has shared the stage with many marketing legends such as Ted Nicholas, Joe Sugarman, Robert Allen, Mark Victor Hanson and Mark Joyner.
He has grown his own opt-in list to more than 153,000 newsletter subscribers in just three years. But he earned his "Master List Builder" nickname when he tripled his list to over 30,903 names in only 99 days.
Author
Using the email marketing principles he teaches, he recently demonstrated the power of a huge opt-in email list when his co-authored book "Mining Online Gold With An Offline Shovel: How To Build A Massive Online Mailing List By Mastering Offline Promotion" zoomed to the top of the Amazon.com best-seller list just 13 hours after it was published. Only the pre-release of the latest Harry Potter book beat it to the number one position.
International best-selling author and radio talk show host Mike Litman recently nicknamed Joel Christopher the "Tony Robbins of Internet Marketing" and Randy Gilbert of the "Inside Success" show called him "The Michael Jordan of Internet List Building".
Joel Christopher is the Director and Owner of SuccessAccess.com and MasterListBuilder.com. He is a consummate entrepreneur who wants to share his passion for self-employment with others because of the time and financial freedom it offers.
Philanthropist
In addition,Joel Christopher has made a personal commitment to help young Philippinos receive the education they need to improve their lives. To this end, he has begun a foundation and is donating 100% of his profits from his first book to this cause.
Family Man
Joel's beautiful wife, Sheila, is his constant companion and supporter, as well as playing a key roll in Joel's businesses. They live with their precious daughter Simone in Helotes, Texas
