    Hey Everybody,

    How's it going with your list building these days?

    If you're not building a list you're leaving plenty of money on the table. I've decided to write a small guideline about how you can build not just a list.. but a highly responsive list that pulls in money like crazy!

    So here we go..

    When you begin list building you'll hear see and hear different schools of thought. Some people will tell you to put together a squeeze page then offer something of value for free.

    That method is not too bad. You'll definitely build a list. But the problem with that method is that the majority of people on you list will be FREEBIE SEEKERS. Those are the absolute worst people to have on your list!

    Freebie seekers just want something for free. It's a slim to none chance that they'll respond to the offer you send out to them.

    So the first step to building a highly responsive list is weeding out the tire kickers. You want people are going to respond to you. And respond time and time again.

    So instead of giving something of value out for free, it would be better to sell it instead. You don't have to charge too much for it. In fact, many internet marketers (marketers in general) sell low priced products in order to build a list.

    This is so much better because the people on your list are PROVEN BUYERS. They have proven to you that they'll respond to your offers. So Guess what?

    You continue supplying them what they want, and they'll keep on paying huge chunks of money hand over fist! (it doesn't get better than having a responsive list whenever you need a huge surge of cash flow)

    Here are some ways to accomplish this:

    1. Get contact information after purchase

    This is the strategy that I just mentioned above. It doesn't really how matter how much it cost. It's best to keep it very inexpensive so you can pull in volume.

    2. Ad Swaps With other internet marketers

    An ad swap is simply where you and another marketer(s) agree to do promotions to each other list. They send out a promotion to their list, and you send one out to yours. By doing this you're sharing your list but you're also getting new responsive buyers on your list. (first you have to make sure they have a buyers list)

    3. Joint Ventures with other internet marketers

    Setting up a joint venture is will help you build a highly responsive list like no other method. So what if you have to give a percentage of your earnings to joint venture partners. The best part is that you're getting a huge influx of highly targeted and responsive people onto list.

    These 3 methods are some of the best ways I know you can build a highly responsive list. If you haven't built yourself a decent list I encourage you to use these strategies to build you one.. RIGHT NOW!

    A list is way too important to your success. So you're better off starting as soon as possible!

    But If I missed any good points on building a responsive list, I encourage you to post some of your advice, strategies, and/or systems. It would be helpful for everybody :)

    Until next time, continue taking action and making passive residual income!

    I use all three methods. I go for adswaps and joint ventures and when I get someone to purchase they are opted into my list. This list is responsible for the majority of my income I make online. And for that reason I'm happy with the success I'm getting using these methods.

    This is forum is a good place to start. Find other internet marketing forums, blogs, websites and connect with people... As in build a relationship first then ask for their business.

    I totally agree with your first point. There's nothing worse than building a list full of freebie seekers!

    Cheers!

    Yes i also agree freebie seekers do not usually buy.

    You might as well promote on traffic exchanges if you want to make no money.

    I think offer free videos works rather well though

    Building a list makes one rich, huh?

    If it isn't done, a lot of money is left on the table, huh?

    Okay.
