So, how do you build your list if you don't know anything about Internet marketing? For newbie's who are trying to "grunt" your way through the process, these seven secrets to list building will help you get started:
1. Pick something you love to do: Before building your list you must first choose your niche. How do you do this? By brainstorming! What are you passionate about? What is your occupation? What is/are your hobbies? What have you always wanted to do or learn? Are you a collector? This is how you start to create your niche.
2. Research is the name of the game: Write down each niche and identify key words related to the niche, use Google keyword to narrow down your niche. If your primary keywords generate 3,000 words or more per month, chances are this is a good niche. If you see 20,000 to 30,000 searches you definitely have a winner. Remember, heavily searched niches are more competitive, starting your list building around a smaller niche is better for beginners.
3. Create a distinctive Domain name: Make it easy for potential customers to say yes to you. If you cannot catch the visitor's attention with an attention grabbing domain name, chances are they won't click on your link. Come up with a domain name that is jaw dropping, something that makes them want to find out about your product. Play on the emotional drives, desire for wealth, pleasure, beauty, and acceptance, etc. By all means avoid confusing names, do not use complicated terms and always include your keywords in your domain name.
4. Choose a Web Host: I know that sounds complicated but if I can do it so can you. Learn how build a website and publish it on the web. The internet has a wealth of resources to help you learn this process and it is easier than you think.
5. Squeeze page for list building success: The most important internet marketing tool you have is your squeeze page. A squeeze page or an opt-in page only purpose is to create a reason for a prospect to give you their name, email address and permission to continue to contact them, optimally in exchange for something of value. Use squeeze pages to build a strong, responsive list of people who are interested in your product.
6. Follow up: You need a top of the line autoresponder to handle your followup and to stay connected with your list. This will allow you to communicate with your list anytime day or night and anywhere in the world.
7. Get your list building page up and running on your server: FTP was created for uploading files to your server quick and easy. This is a must learn if you plan to build a strong, effective list of customers.
Follow these 7 simple steps and then drive traffic to your new list building page. Don't let these steps scare you away, yes it can seem overwhelming at first, but you struggle your way through it the first time, your second time around will be a charm.
