3 Ways on How To Be A List Building Expert
November 17, 2008 by Dean
One of the most important requirement in Internet Marketing is learning how to become an expert in list building.
As what Gary Baker wrote in his article List Building Expert – How To Become An Authority In Your Field, building a list “… is just a question of educating yourself and testing each and every method of list building that you use.”
That’s right! It’s not satisfying to simply offer freebies and purely rely on commissions you get from ClickBank.
Internet Marketing is a game and if you really want to become a full-time marketer, your success largely depends on the number of your list who are interested in purchasing your product. The game centers on the QUALITY not necessarily the QUANTITY.
The First Rule
Baker wrote, “The best way to educate yourself on list building is to learn from experienced list builders. You can do this by reading their articles and joining quality ezines. There is a wealth of information to be learned from these publications and it is all for free.”
This is an insightful technique from a full time Internet Marketer for eleven years. Experience is always the best teacher, right? And there’s probably no effective way of getting the best package of information than directly asking the great techniques from the gurus themselves.
For the instance, if you like dogs, you can search for forums, articles and blogs solely related to DOGS and follow what’s their tips and techniques they use to collect leads.
If you already got the leads, it’s up to you how to build long time relationship with them.
The Second Rule
The second rule to successful list building focuses on hands-on methods.
“Testing your list building efforts: The next logical thing to do is to test all the methods you try. This is the second and most important phase in your journey to becoming an expert list builder. Make squeeze pages for every method you use. This will tell you exactly how many people you have drawn to your page using a particular method.” Baker wrote.
Never patronize the power of squeeze page. A squeeze page is like an introductory door which automatically pops up when someone attempts to visits your blog or your website and these readers have to option to input their name and email address in the subscriber’s opt-in list in exchange of free reports, newsletters or free training courses.
No matter how big or small your squeeze page is, the goal is to persuade the people worldwide to read your words.
The Third Rule: Use Google AdWords
Before becoming a full-time online entrepreneur, Gary Baker suggests you to read the informative articles related to Google Adwords.
If you have time, search for any online forums or tutorials that enhances your learning on how to use this service to your advantage.
“Test all of your campaigns-experiment with different keywords and see how each of them performs. Also use 1 or 2 squeeze pages to split test different ads and keyword sets. It will take a little testing to bring your campaigns up to top performance, but it will be well worth the effort.” Baker wrote.
When you do this split test method, you can understand you audience’s likes and dislikes. Every person searched for specific keywords of their interest and once you use these keywords in your blog or website, the possibility of getting more visitors is huge.
And the more visitors you have, the more list of customers you can have.
Final Say
Becoming a list building expert is not easy. To be successful in this field, you need to bring your gameplan with you all the time. When Plan A doesn’t work, move to Plan B and C. Life is so short to get frustrated and blame yourself with the mistakes you have no absolute control in it.
That’s Internet Marketing, it all starts with the list!
