The 'Evergreen' Way To Make Money Online
This write-up is all about list building.
For those of you who are not familiar with what's a mailing list, it's a basically a list of subscribers or customers that you can contact them at anytime you wish. Marketers generate income by promoting a product to their mailing list.
If you've been in the internet marketing scene for a while, you would know by now that building a list is the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of your entire internet business. I mean it. But this article is not supposed to bore you with how important it is.
I want you to know that there's no complex science to list building. It's nothing more than driving traffic to a webpage or website that has an opt-in mechanism – a way how the visitors can subscribe to your list. That's it!
So what else to be learned about this 'science' then? Well, a lot.
The obvious ones are how to get better subscription conversion, relationship building and most importantly, to generate income with a list.
The topic's huge. I mean, why some marketers with 100,000 subscribers make less income with a marketer with 10,000 subscribers?
Answer: Various of reasons ranging on how the email is structured to the behavior of the subscribers.
Then there are all kinds of subscriber qualities. Some will hardly open your email and some will look forward for it.
The weird thing about generating income from a list that always puzzles me is this – Some marketers email out nothing else but ads to their lists but they make more money than those who send out regular content.
Conclusion? There's no right or wrong to monetize income from it – it's how the list is built and developed.
I do want to leave this write-up with a solid list building tip...
Visitors will only subscribe to your list if they see your offer is VALUABLE to them. I don't think many will subscribe if you just have a subscription box that says, "Enter your name and email below to subscribe".
They must get something in return. And it's your talent how to present your offer so that they can see how valuable it is. That's where most 'marketers' mess up. Stacking up more free gifts for subscribing will not help but stacking up the value will. If your offer is NOT because of the value they get for subscribing but for the free gifts, then you'll be attracting those who want your free gifts but not looking forward to hear from you. At the same time, you might show 'desperation' for them to subscribe because you're throwing too many free gifts.
The way how your list is build will affect how profitable it will be because you're being evaluated on the first encounter with them. If a marketer is being evaluated as a 'sucker' for giving away free gifts, then why would his subscribers want to buy from him? I'm sure the subscribers would prefer to do business or buy from a reliable source – They would buy from a marketer who they subscribed because they WANT to hear from him. Make sense?
Going back to basic – building a list is nothing than getting traffic to a page that converts.
Say you know how to get traffic. Besides, getting traffic is a scientific learning process. It's easy because you just need to follow the instructions. Submit videos to video directories and you'll get traffic. Optimize your page and you'll get traffic from the search engines. I hope you see the point.
Whether you want to improve your subscription conversion or sales from your email marketing, there's absolutely one 'weapon' that you must have in your arsenal. Let's face it – how do you communicate via webpage or email? Words in text. Although you can use video on webpage, but you'll still use the classic text in emails and it's the emails that will make you the money or not – not the darn squeeze page.
Copywriting, my friend. Get that formula right and you'll be rich.
Building a list and milking profit from it is such a big topic and there's no way it can be told in a simple ebook. I'm recommending the List Pros Coaching Program by Shawn Casey and Tellman Knudson
