If you use the method I suggested, there is no product before a list.... although technically there is no list. Connections are not a list. But there is no product before the connections.
I don't build a list, nor do I build connections and then join something and hope it targets a few of my connections missing the majority.
For starters as I said connections are not a list. I know my connections. I know who they are, what they do, what they have done in the past, what they are see
Nice question! In order to answer this question, I started thinking what I have done so far and it seems that I always do the same thing... I'm browsing offers and affiliate programs and I choose something that I believe that I can sell easily. Then I do the rest... website, list building, paid advertising etc. Then I follow up with that list with relevant offers or products.
If I find an offer that appeals to me, the next step is to create a website not only I can use, but pass that along to my referrals so they can help build us a network and we all earn more.
Yes, first you have to choose an offer in an profitable niche as: money online, lifestyle, health&fitness, weight loss etc. Than you build a marketing system around this.
You need to have a free product you can give in exchange for people to signing up for your list. This way you can build a targeted list and them market other relative stuff to them.
@Bruce: this is great. but what when you have a really outstanding product but no list? When it comes to list building you already know your target - therefore a general list has only little worth...

I start by choosing an offer, and then building a website/email list/PPC campaign around it!

Nope I start by building connections and then seeing what the need is among my connections and select a business (or create one) accordingly
