Building your Mailing List
Just in case you have been in this industry for long enough, we are absolutely sure you have already heard a great deal about how the REAL money is in your list. Actually, this statement, though very commonly used, is not entirely true but because it partly is, we will not just thrash it. The truth and all of it is the fact that your cash lies right in the relationship which you build using your list, the trust you are able to gain which is the key to success.
However, in order to develop a relationship with your list you must have a list to start with. Without a list, you do not really have a stable online source of income and one cannot earn a living, randomly emailing. You will essentially need a strong and long emailing list and you have to be able to use it properly to make any real profits out of it.
Know that if you are just getting started, you must know that you will want to build a list, but we completely understand that you would not really understand or know how to build a list. That is where most people will be stuck, yes they get stuck right at the beginning... Now not actually having built an email list is among the topmost reasons as to why 95% of folks who try to make money online, face failures. They are happy to try their luck and invest money into ads, making every attempt at making sales and they get pleased with a few sales and once they can't make anymore, instead of opting for alternative methods in the world of internet marketing, they simply give up and say internet marketing doesn't work.
1.1 The HOW? How to build your mailing list?
Too many people focus on things like SEO, the famed article marketing, or spamming the net with their affiliate links without building a list. This is one of the most common mistakes made by beginners because instead of building a business they are pleased about a few quick bucks when they should be concerned with establishing a business rather than making a few quick sales. List Building is difficult and since it pays off very well, there are no reasons as to why it shouldn't be. One of the most frequent arguments for why people do not build email lists is usually that list building is tough and too many an ordeal, next to impossible.
To build a significant list of subscribers in a short time you would need a high-end advertisement and an appealing, almost irresistible FREE gift to go along as an incentive for those who subscribe to it and leave you with their email. The free gift technically is termed as a lead magnet in the world of marketing and is particularly one of the key elements of every list-building process. This free gift is what helps you establish a list.
Although theoretically, we may say that list building is pretty simple, in practice, the list building process can be quite tricky if you don’t know what you are doing and what are the end results that you are trying to achieve. Some people would even pay a fortune to get their hands on a few significantly long mailing lists and then end up realizing that only some people open the messages being sent to them and nobody buys anything easy. It is true that list building might be hard if you don’t have a very good system in place and a solid strategy to be able to produce a profit out of it.
Having said that, let's take a look at some of the most popular email marketing service providers and how they stack up against each other.
