The secret to being a successful internet marketer is having the keen ability to build a mailing list. Whether you have a brick and mortar business or if you are selling primarily online, the way to generate an email list is to develop a strategy by which to obtain a real and relevant list.
There are many services that help you to develop an email list, but I will summarize the top ways you can build a list for yourself without going broke. Building an email list can help you sell anything from resell books to affiliate products.
Though you don't necessarily need to have your own website, having one can help you gather the emails necessary for you to develop and increase your email list. Whatever you sell or whatever information you provide, your ability to generate a list and sell, requires one important intangible: credibility. You have probably been on a site that just "feels" not credible, right? Whether, they promise you the world or whether their product just seems strange, the gut feeling you have is to leave a website that isn't credible. Therefore, paying special attention to the intangible of true credibility, building a site with can help you get the results you want.
The next thing you want to have is a way to "capture" an email, by using one of the several good "auto responder" services out there. This will allow you to actually "capture" a real email and organize it. There are plenty of great services out there that can help you with this and a simple internet search will deliver quite a few results.
The next thing you might want to consider is offering a "free" item, such as a report, an e-book, or newsletter that provides tips, etc. in exchange for their email. Generating a product of true value that you can exchange an email for can go a long way.
Remember, that once people sign up and give you and email, they are half-way sold on your product and on your service and are just interested in hearing from you.
Another great way to build your email list is to provide some real content on your website. This helps your credibility and this allows website visitors to maintain their interest in you, your products, or your services.
Another way to grow and develop your email list is to use social media. Social media such as Facebook or LinkedIn can help you create an email list with people who are already familiar with you and who are most likely to be receptive to your products.
