The money is in the list

If you have been marketing online for any length of time at all, you have likely heard the phrase "The money is in the list". In fact it seems almost everywhere you go these days there are two forms of marketing being talked about - list building and SEO. 

Well everyone seems to tell you that you need a list, but it doesn't seem very many people are willing to tell you how to build a list - how long it takes, or how to make money WHILE building that list. 

That's what we want to talk to you to day about - list building.

Build your own list

Contrary to some things you may read, referring people to safelists, downline builders, text ad exchanges, and traffic exchanges is not list building. In fact thats counter productive to list building unless these forms of marketing are being used properly. The reason is - referring people onto those types of sites - is building someone else a list not yourself. It builds you referrals, but not a list.

To properly build yourself a list you need the infamous auto responder. 

Now of course there are many choices for auto responders out their and I am sure you have herad of some yourself. Let me give you  little tip about auto-responders. Most of them (like aweber) charge you based on how many people are on your list. 

However European Safelist offers you a very professional autoresponder for $3 a month with unlimited people on your list. I highly recommend this - especially if you re just starting out and are on a limited budget.

How to use an auto responder

Using an auto responder is very simple. The idea is you are preloading a bunch of emails into a system, and when people subscribe to whatever it is you are offering, they begin getting emails. 

You can offer anything to get people on your list. For example a free ebook which they have to subscribe to get the link to download, a video training series, access to a members area of a website, software, links to websites (for example text ad exchanges, traffic exchanges, safelists) or anything else you can think of. 

The trick is get a person on your list before you ever start trying to sell anything to them and before you ever try to get them in any business. This way if they refuse, you can still offer them further marketing products and other goods to help them in their business - and make you commissions from sales.

Make money while building a list

The truth that isn't not easy to make money while building yourself a list because the idea behind list building is getting people on your list by NOT selling to them.

However there is a program created by Scot Garder and Todd Perry called mysafelist.biz. Mysafelist.biz is a first of its kind business because it has been designed to help you get paid for building yourself a list, while at the same time building downlines in up to six different safelists that can be rotated when ever you want. There are actually dozens of safelists to chose from.

Not only does mysafelist.biz pay out for building yourself a list, we have found over at the cooperative marketing effort that many people end up upgrading on the safelists as well for even more added income. 

In fact mysafelist.biz is the only business we have encountered at the cooperative where we offer an absolute success guarantee. Thats how much we belief in this program!
