List Building - How to Create Opt-in Email List from Your Traffic Generation Fast

I get asked over and over again why it is necessary to have an opt-in email list to make money online? You probably have asked that question yourself.

After all, you really are just starting out, and you really need to get some sales quick, so you just grabbed a few affiliate products and started driving traffic to them as much as you could, right? How is that working for you?

Not so good, after all - having trouble getting stats, PPC traffic is too expensive for you, free traffic is not buying much if anything - so what do you do?

What are the problems of not having an opt-in list?

- Affiliate program owner gets all the names
- You have no easy way to follow up even if they share the buyers names with you
- Most ad visitors do not buy, at least on first visit
- Cannot generate enough traffic to make enough sales

So what do you do? Learn how to capture your visitors contact information the first time they visit.

1) Get an auto responder account - I use and recommend Aweber
2) Create a squeeze page - sole purpose is to collect contact info
3) Create a series of valuable content emails for your email campaign
4) Add in affiliate products or your own products to your email campaign

Your sole purpose with this strategy is to collect contact information from your site visitors, start list building, develop a trust relationship, and eventually profit from them at a greater rate than if you had sent them directly to your own sales or affiliate sales page directly.

List Building - How Customer Lead Generation Will Create Profits On-Line

It has been said many times, there are only 3 core principles to creating profits online: Traffic Generating, List Building, and Sales Copy Writing.

Learning why those principles work will outperform everything else you ever learn about how all the techniques and fads 9 times out of 10. If you understand why a principle works you can then tailor your techniques to your business as you require at any time.

The underlying principles never change …they are the [why] of internet marketing!

- Why is somebody communicating with you, or reading your ad
- Why is somebody attracted to your specific offer
- Why is somebody willing to provide you their contact information
- Why is somebody wanting your product, solution, or opportunity
- Why is somebody that has bought similar offers from your competition important
- Why is somebody that is capable of making purchases in the future needed

If you can answer these questions you will generate your own customer leads, the how or the technique you use may change but you will create profits online simply as a result of customer lead generation.

Customer lead generation is a combination of all three core principles, no one principle will succeed by itself - Like a stool that stands on 3 legs, take away any one leg, it falls over.

So where do you start your customer lead generation?

Answer these next two questions for yourself!

1) Why are you in business?

2) What do you want from your business?

For me that answer finally became: Creating Profits On-Line is more important than making money online, there is a big difference.
