Did you finally realize you are losing out big time when you don't do list building?

Have you finally discovered you are leaving cash on the table?

I used to do great at cpc, buying adwords and sending traffic through to the merchants. Most days was break even, but a couple of days per week were profitable so I kept plugging away.

One day it dawned on me that if I simply found a way to contact some of these same customers again, perhaps I could sell them something else. I needed to start building lists.

Every time you send a visitor straight to a merchant page, either from a link in an article or from your website, you have lost the email marketing opportunity you have from list building.

Do you know how to build a list?

Here are 3 easy steps to list building that will get you rolling.

I like to call them: My CCOD Formula

Convince, Capture, Over Deliver

1. Set up some email capture software. This is also referred to as an autoresponder. An autoresponder, or AR is a software program that automates your list collection and delivery.

2. Decide on your action plan. What will you say or give your visitor to convince them to part with their name and email address?  Create your story, it is mandatory for list building.

3. Develop and execute your email marketing strategy. Just having the mailing list is not enough. You need a strategy in place to market to the list. Deciding the strategy first, upfront gives you a blueprint to follow.

Warning: Not following these 3 list building tips will have a negative effect on results.

Building lists will be the best thing you spend your time on today.
