How To Build a Money Making and Profitable READER LIST!

Organizing & Building a Reader List for Maximum Success

Let’s talk a little bit about the obvious – building a Reader List. Do you notice I didn’t say “customer” list? If they like what you present to them, if they enjoy what you are talking about, they will eventually purchase something that you recommend. The key is to keep’em coming back. Offer them something that makes them think. Something entertaining. When they feel like you they will buy from you!

 Here are a few things to bear in mind when building your list:

 Make your Mailing List Easy to Join

 People don’t want to spend their precious time on working out things that are complex and time-consuming; they’ll go to another website if you make enrolling tough on them. Give a clear sign up box for your mailing list and also make it obvious that you will operating a double opt in mailing list. That means when they give you their details your auto responder will be set to send out an email link which they must click on to confirm that they want to join your mailing list.

 That way, people won’t feel trapped into your list building. You won’t lose many people by them not clicking on the link in the email and it will be worth it for the security you offer the people that do agree to join your mailing list.

 “Easy Leavey”

 In the same way, make it easy to opt out of the mailing list in the future. People’s priorities and needs change and they may not always want to be on your mailing list. Don’t be scared by allowing them to leave. Telling people up front that they can leave your mailing list easily any time they want to just makes them more likely to join it in the first place.

 Keep in Touch with the People on your List on a Regular Basis

 Sending out a weekly newsletter is best. And, that brings up an important sub-point: send out newsletters often; at the very least, once a month. These newsletters fulfill all sorts of purposes. To name but a few:

• They remind people who you are
• They allow your to show off your knowledge
• You can promote your products and services

 Make sure that you provide the people on your mailing list with helpful and useful information. If all you send them are ads for your website, you are not going to maintain a good mailing list; spam is a real turn off for subscribers.

  Actively Seek out Subscribers to your Mailing List

 It is not enough to set up a website and expect people to join your list. There are literally thousands of websites similar to yours; you must do something to generate interest and show what makes your mailing list better and more valuable to join than anyone else’s.

 So, visit forums, chat groups, blog sites etc. and post articles, essays etc. to generate interest in your list building. Make sure these are relevant to the business of your mailing list and you will be reaching potential customers who are already warmed up and wanting to hear about what your business has to offer them.

 Never underestimate the value of networking for list building. If you can find other firms/websites that will let you post a link to your site, you have the potential to build up your mailing list even more.

 Quality not Quantity Matters in List Building

When it comes to getting leads for your list building and effectively keeping people joined up to your list, quality, not quantity is what counts. This matters in terms of the people on your mailing list, and also in the communication you send out to keep them there.

Quality Leads

It matters less about how many people are on your mailing list than whether the names on your mailing list are likely to buy things from you. If they aren’t, what is the point in them being on your mailing list?

For that reason, your list building attempts should focus on long tail keyword phrases rather than general keywords. This will enable you to get targeted prospects that are looking for what you are selling. That means you are more likely to get a sale because you are giving them what they want.

Next time we will talk about KEEPING your list. Until then, keep moving!

Hello world!

“I” am 49 years young! “I” have trouble writing about “me”. “I” am all about making side money using today’s technology. It is mostly information overload! Consider me the front line “grunt” of our team. I will do advance scouting for “us”. I will spend the time, and resources, to find what works and what is just smoke being “blown up our …..!”

I will report to all of us my findings. IF it seems to work then we will make side money together! I have never liked working alone. Because of this, you are my “partners in crime”. My team. “One for all and all for one!” Something like that.

Please feel free to share to the rest of “us” anything that will make us “side money”. I insist that you “put your money where your mouth is” and back up your claims. Don’t just forward us a fancy sales letter from the newest “thing” you got yourself into.  We are a team. Treat us like one!

I want to work and converse with “newbies” and intermediates. This site will be for us. We will take the “baby steps” together!

I know that we need to “walk before we can run” but I am having trouble locating anyone who can, and will,  teach me how to walk! Everybody out there tells me to do this and that. HELLO! I’m brand new. “Even “this and that” is  over my head!

Lets teach each other how to start. What to do. Lets learn the baby steps together. From step one. EVERY STEP!

I’m setting up a seperate page called “THIS MAY BE A DUMB QUESTION BUT…”. Nothing on there will be considered a “dumb question”. Can we agree on that?  Cool!

Out for now!
