Email List Building

Your email subscriber list is where the money is at.

By building a large and ever growing list of responsive subscribers you can make all the money you'll ever need.

The question is... "How?"

I'm going to reveal a great way to pull huge and automatic profits out of your list. But you have to understand the way email subscribers think. Before you can persuade them to buy.

People who join email lists do so because they believe they will get valuable info. You need to contact them consistently. Also, they don't mind sales messages as long as you don't bombard them with those.

Join an autoresponder service so you can keep in contact with the folks on your list. Send them an electronic newsletter about the topic they are interested in. A couple of times a week email them offers you feel good about.

I think the best way to keep in contact is to set up a 52-week email follow up series. This series should consist of nothing but content.

Besides the content ezine, send out a couple of offers per week also.

I like sending out two or three sales offers throughout the week. These offers are sent in broadcast emails. I write an email about a particular product or service. I include my affiliate or direct link to the website sales page for the product. The email is sent right away using the broadcast feature of my autoresponder service.

If you don't have your own product then promote affiliate products. Pick at least ten affiliate products you like. For each product, send out two or three emails during the same week.

Repeat the system we just discussed until you go through all the affiliate products. As I said before, do this with ten or fifteen of them.

At the end of ten to fifteen weeks I look at which of the affiliate products sold best. I take the two or three best sellers and create my own version of the product. I'm talking about information products in this case.

In a few short months, you'll have a bunch of your own hot sellers. Plug the promotions for these products into your autoresponder series.

In addition, you can take the one product that is bringing in the most money... and... create a high priced info product.

Sometimes I forego creating my own version of the product and just create a high-priced coaching program. It depends. The idea is to let your subscribers tell you what they will buy. Based on affiliate products they are purchasing. Then you develop your own version of the best selling affiliate products.

Follow this process consistently and you'll maximize the profits from your list.

Is your home business going no where?

Did you have the year you thought you would have in your network business. A home business can be very rewarding, but if you didn't sponsor anyone that's definately a problem. Your probably thinking why bother nothing seems to work. Well, if your not inspired anymore, I guess you'll just give up.

Now before you delete your business from cyberspace, let me just mention. Your business did not fail you, it has everything to do with you. ok,ok, you say my upline this, my upline that, I completely understand. You were only doing what they put in your head. But it was still you, it's your head.

We become our own worst enemy when we can't let go of certain things. It's not how hard we can drive ourselves to succeed, it's the same things we convince ourselves to keep doing, no matter what. But the day does come when the no matter whatt attitude burns out, and sometimes we never get that back.

You just make the list of your pre-conceived notions a little longer. Learn to stay away from those kinds of opportunities, they don't work for me, you'll say. I guess you probably feel so much better now. Back in the comfort zone. But just remember this, your business didn't fail you.

Maybe it's time to sit back and take a little break from it all. It really is crazy to keep duplicating something that doesn't work. Clear your thoughts, have some fun, and get yourself back in spirit. You know, I'm willing to bet your up
line isn't laughing all the way to the bank either. So take sometime and just recharge.

I know how it feels. My home business is rated one of the best in the industry, but no one seemed to care. I then realized it was not my business that was the problem, it was me. And I take full responsibility for all my past failures. So sit back and relax for a while.

And when your feeling better, here's what I discovered. When I realized I was not a salesman, and probably couldn't sell a thing to save myself, that's when my home business took off. So if you think you have a pretty good network business, it's not your business that's the problem then. It's the way your looking at things.
