This is probably the most asked question from newbies looking to build a list.

It's all so simple to sell tons and tons of products when you have a list, but how do you get started on building a responsive and targeted list?

Your views would be very much appreciated.

There are many ways to build a list...

What I would do is set up a squeeze page.

If you need help with this please see my sig file...joe

In my experience it's not quite as simple as your statement suggests <grin>, there's still a lot to learn to do it well.

But you're on the right track, in my case and many others I know of, building a list then selling to it has shown itself to much more productive then just advertising and going for a sale directly.

How to do it?

1) Search Google for one of the many courses on Listbuilding. Just make sure the author is recognised as an expert in the field. Paul Myers comes to mind as one.

2) My own newsletter has a very extensive video tutorial section on Listbuilding, but a word of warning, it's not a lightweight treatment of the subject, you will need to take some time to *study* it, start putting it into practice, then review it again, perhaps many times. Worth the effort though.

Cheers
Allan

Hello Keith,

Apart from having a squeeze page, you also need to give some sort of high quality gift or bonus if you want people to be in your list.

Unfortunately nowadays, most marketers simply give a lousy gift just because they wanted to gather list. I think this is not helping this industry at all.

Why not you create your own bonus yourself? You can simply write a 10 to 15 page report on helping people in need on whatever your niche is. I found out this has help me a lot. Hope this help.
