I will use the rest of this article to address to explain why building in e-mail marketing list should be every business website owners first priority, and offers some pointers towards monetising that list. If you ask any Internet marketing expert what their most valuable moneymaking resource is, they will almost universally tell you that it is their list of subscribers. They will tell you that whenever they need to make some extra money, they contact their list with a compelling offer and sit back and watch the money flow in. Of course, their e-mail marketing lists were not built overnight. List building takes time and effort, but once you have set up the fundamentals, it pretty much works on autopilot. The first thing you will need to do is subscribe to a professional auto responder service such as {USE YOUR AUTORESPONDER AFFILIATE CODE HERE, IF YOU WISH!}. An auto responder is one of the most important resources in an Internet marketer's arsenal, so it is not something you want to cheapskate on. The best auto responders are reasonably priced for the services they give you. Once you have your auto responder setup, you can create a series of campaigns for your various products or niche markets. When you set up a campaign you will be invited to write or preload a series of e-mail messages. These are the messages that your subscribers will receive at intervals of your choosing. What should you say in your messages? This is where you build a relationship with your subscribers. So it is important to adopt a friendly, cheerful style and write everything from the point of view of your subscribers. The more you provide them with the information that they need (and you may have to educate them about what it is that they need), the more you will come to be seen as the expert in your field. Don't simply try to sell them your products before you have provided them with a valuable service in the form of useful information, tips, product reviews and other advice. Invite your subscribers to respond to your messages and send your questions or feedback. Or offer them some extra free reports if they drop you a line by e-mail. By getting your readers involved you will build a stronger relationship with them. From time to time recommend your product or affiliate products to them. You will be doing this from a position of trust and familiarity since your readers already know that you provide them with valuable information. This makes it more likely that they will respond to your offers. The first sale is always the hardest and most people don't buy a product the first time they see advertised. That is why you need to follow-up with repeated mailings over time. But once you have achieved that first sale, a reasonable proportion of your first time customers are likely to respond to your follow-up offers. That is how those expert Internet marketers make their money. Now how do you get people to join your list? This is where your website comes into play. Your auto responder allows you to set up opt in forms, which you can place on your website. Make sure you put your opt in form in a prominent position above the fold near the top of your website. Use colour and bold, compelling headlines to draw your visitors' attention and interest. Offer them a unique free report as an inducement to sign up to your list. While most people who arrive on a website for the first time are not willing to purchase, a fair number of them will be willing to take you up on your free offer and join your list. Now you have a systematic method of building and e-mail marketing list, so now it is up to you to draw targeted traffic to your website, and to build a relationship with those who join your list. Do that and your business will begin to grow. K
