Top #1 List Building Mistake That Most Internet Marketers Are Making!

I believe that most of you have already known that start building a list is the best way to make money online. Yes, this is definitely true. And we have been taught that we should offer something free so that people will subscribe into our list. In short, internet marketers exchange people’s emails with the freebies offered.

This method works, indeed. People love free stuff, include you and me.

After that, internet marketers want to make more money, and they create more freebies to begin with another email campaign. They keep on repeating this, because most of the gurus are telling you that: “People like free stuff, so offer something free to collect leads is the best way.”

Yes, it’s true. It works. However, it’s a mistake actually.

Why it’s a mistake?

The truth is, you can make money by doing that, but you cannot become a super affiliate and earn big money by doing that, unless you’ve few millions of subscribers (which is another version of story).

If you’re building a list by offering something free, your subscribers can consist of freebies seekers and potential buyers (proven action takers). However, normally freebies seekers will more than potential buyers. Freebie seekers will never make any purchase when you promote affiliate products. They will never take out their credit cards, or maybe they don’t even have credit cards.

Get rid of freebies seekers – Build a buyer list!

It’s fine if you create your first and second lists by offering something free, perhaps you need more attention, credibility and experience in that niche. However, after you’ve been in the niche for months or years, there are no points for you to keep repeating this method.

In fact, you ought to start building a list which consists of proven action takers only! By doing this, your list will have a higher conversion rate, because they’re potential buyers! Simply, all you’ve to do is getting them to spend some money before subscribing into your list.

Let me explain a simple thing that you might haven’t realized it.

If you’re a product merchant, you would have already known that you need to ask your customers to opt-in your customer list – It’s actually a list of buyers! They’re your customers, they are proven action takers, they’re people who will spend money in getting what they want and like!

If you ever buy any digital product, most of those merchants will ask you to subscribe into a list before you can get into the download area. You’re forced to join their list after purchasing.

After that, merchants will send further information and promotional emails to their customers. This happens simply because people have already made any purchase are proven action takers and people who will spend money in what they want and love!

For your information, many buyers are repeat buyers! Meaning that, people might do some more purchases after that. People who love feng shui will always seek for more information, so they will spend money in it, again and again, as long as the interest doesn’t fade out. Hence, the only thing you need to do is promoting affiliate products!

What if you don’t have any product to sell?

You might be asking this question. This is very simple actually. Your aim now is to build a list of proven action takers. You need them to make any purchase before subscribing into your list. You don’t have to spend a lot of time on this; of course you don’t have to worry about this too!

PLR (Private Label Rights), RR (Resell Rights) and MRR (Master Resell Rights) products have saved you A LOT of time! Now you can get some PLR, RR and MRR products with nicely designed sales pages! It’ll be the best if you can get a PLR ebook in Microsoft Word file and a sales page. You can edit the ebook by inserting your affiliate links as well as put your name as the author.

    Well said. List building is very important. If done properly, can give you huge returns. But I doubt on the idea of editing PLR, RR and MRR ebooks and giving them away for free? Can we actually do that?

    Thanks.

  2. Nice points Jeen…I agree with get rid of freebies list as this way you might increase the no. of opt in but later on your conversion will be too less….. It;’s better to have a list of people who are genuinely interested in subscribing to your updates…Rather then making them to opt for it
