Lucrative List Building - Lucrative List Building Tips

Lucrative list building is the art, and yes I did say art, not science, of building an opt in e-mail list of like-minded subscribers who are likely to spend money and allow you to monetize your Web site. Why is lucrative list building not science? Well in some sense, there is a science to the art, just as when a painter paints a painting he has to follow the rules and guidelines of colors and textures. However, every single list that you build will have a different demographic, it will have a different response rate, it would respond to a different type of e-mail letter, even if the list is derived out of the very similar niche. The responsiveness of your list will have a lot to do with the original squeeze page which you used to build the opt in e-mail list, and will have a lot to do with the emotional status of the list members. In this sense, lucrative list building is indeed an art. Now, the technicalities of the art, and the exact responsiveness and response features...

How Do I Make My List Respond to My Offers?

This is really a broad picture type of thing. You see, getting your list to 'respond to your offers' is not something that happens overnight. You have to develop a relationship with the people on your list first. It is kind of like when you go to a new doctor, you want to get to know him/her first. You want to see their credentials, that they graduated from a nice medical school, and that they have been practicing for a few years. You might get recommendations from your friends. Perhaps you will go to him/her for a head cold first, and see if he can help you, before you ask him to evaluate your heart condition. And it is alot like that online. The people...

What is the Most Effective Thing I Can do To Build My List?

The most effective thing you can do to build your list is to put a squeeze page (or capture page that has as its only function the opting in of subscribers) on your web site, and send all your traffic to that page only. You see, if someone will not give you their name and email address in exchange for a free gift, what makes you think they will ever give you their credit card and mailing address? I know that is harsh, but that is how I have built my business in only 8 months to a $10,000 per month business. I believe in the art of qualifying people. And I qualify them every step of the way. No email address, you don't get into my site. No money, you don't get my first product. And on and on. I don't care how many unsubscribes I get - I figure...

How do You Even Start to Build a List Without Expensive Advertising?

When you are first getting started in list building, the first thing that you need is a squeeze page on your website. A squeeze page is basically a webpage that has as its only purpose the opting in of subscribers to your opt in e-mail list. This squeeze page should basically be just the headline, some short copy, and a few bullet points, giving people a good reason to download your free giveaway item. After that, should be the opt in Web form for your autoresponder. There should be no other outgoing links on that page. No links to your articles, no links to your sales pages, no links to add works, no links anywhere. If you have any other links beside your opt in Web form, your conversion rate will drop drastically...

How Do You Segment Your List?

There are two different ways to approach this challenge. The first way to approach this challenge would be to aggregate everybody in your list using sophisticated tracking software to correlate the source of the visitor with purchases made. The nice thing to using this software, is that you can build one list (I am assuming that it is a tightly targeted lists, if not, you should be using multiple lists), let the software do the intelligent work, and simply look at the results. The second way to approach this challenge would be to create a different squeeze page for every visitor source. By adding a unique Web form to each squeeze page, you can identify each purchaser at the time of purchase by the squeeze page, which they used to enter your website. The advantage to doing this is, it's actually quite...
