***Why Spend Time or Money on Building a List?

That's a silly question, right?
If you don't know the answer and still want to make
money from the internet, you're really in the wrong
shoes.
First rule of thumb in making money online is to have your
own list of potential customers. But don't go wasting
your money buying subscribers if you are on a shoestring
budget.
Here are 5 simple ways I use to increase my opt-in list:

1. Give away a free ebook/report

If you have your own product, this is really easy tornachieve. Just extract from your own book some of the
contents you find it interesting. Select some points
and voila, you've got yourself a 20 page report. In your
free book, put your website url in there. But, your
MUST make sure that your free ebook is valuable. Inrnthat sense, it's not some cheap rehashed information.
If you can, allow the reader to brand the book with
their own name and url. This will be a good motivator
for them to pass it around.

2. Use a Co-registration joint venture strategy

Have you subscribed to a newsletter where the thank
you page recommends you to subscribe to 3 other
newsletters of the same topic?
That's the 'Thank you page co-registration' in action.
Let others promote their newsletter on your thank you
page, and in return you can promote yours on their
thank you page.

3. Use Pop Ups on your siter

Yes. I know. Some people say it's irritating to have
pop ups on sites. Guess what? I'm still using pop ups
on each of my sites because it increases my list like
crazy! My advice is, put a pop up on your website torncapture leads.

4. Submit valuable articles

Do you know something that you think others would want
to know about it? If yes, then write an article and post itrnon forums and article submission websites. If you can,
go to ezine directories and send your articles to newsletter
owners that accept article submissions. At the end of your
article, put your signature.

5. Grow your existing subscribers

I don't see many marketers do this. And I wonder why.
If you have an existing amount of subscribers, you
should ask a favor from them to refer their friends tornyour list. Look at it this way. If they are your
subscribers, obviously it means they find value inrnyour list. So, it's totally easy and fine for them tornrefer their friends over. All you need to do is ask!
You can create a 'Tell A Friend' script for them torninvite their friends. If you can, offer them an
ethical bribe like a free gift to thank them for their
help of referring.
So, who says building a list without spending money isrndifficult?
These 5 strategies seem too simple to believe they can work.
That's why, many people don't bother to use them. I use
it. I've built my list and I can guarantee you they work.
All you need to do is to put in a little bit of effort.
It's time for you to build and grow your own list. Dornit now. Each day you waste, you are losing money,
literally.
What if, you have a list now, do you think you'll make
money online quicker and more easily?
Think about it.
