There is a key to making money online, although with all the "advise" so called Guru's and leaders push on you, the chance of finding that key to solving this online puzzle can become a daunting task. Why am I telling you this? Because very simply I believe in what comes around goes around. There is this saying that goes like this: "You can have everything in your life that you could ever want, if your willing to help those around you gain the same." Well I find no use in keeping what I know from anyone, if you want to know anything I am more than willing to share what I know over IM or email conversation. So how does this all relate to building a list? First step in building a list is offering something for free. This can be advice, a product, pretty much anything that you can give to anyone freely and at no cost. When doing this make sure you start building a relationship with that person from the very start. Make sure your name or picture is visible on the sign up page. This is very important, simply ask yourself.....would you buy from someone you know? Or someone you don't? From the start you need to start building a relationship and getting them to know who YOU are. I can't stress this enough. Second thing you need to do is know where you want them to go, and what you want to do with them once they sign up. What is it that you gave them that perked their interest enough in you to give you their email? This will help you decide which products you will want to tell them about because you know that those are the products that they are interested in. Now it's not enough to simply send them emails with a couple words and a link to a product you know their interested in. Even if they are interested in it, they would much rather get it from someone they know! You need to become someone they know, someone who offers them advice and ideas. The second you stop trying to sell, you will find that you will make more sales. It's just the way of things. Best thing to do is actually try the products you plan on sending, and try to relate to your subscribers using real life experiences and more in your emails, along with useful info. Your sales link should actually be in the P.S. of the first 20 emails you send to them. The trick is to actually "train" your subscribers into the idea that they will get sales pitches from you. That way you don't send info, info, info, then sales pitch and get tons of un-subscribes. Last little tidbit I will leave you with here is that un-subscribes are good! Yes good, the ones that leave your list are better off that way. Focus your attention on the ones who truly want to hear what you have to say.
