You hear it all the time from Internet Marketers, "Gurus", and "Experts" that the money is in the list. They often tell you that you need to build a list and as soon as possible. They make it seem very urgent and yet they do not tell you why building a list is so important let alone how. This makes you wonder if it is really important or is it a ploy by these "Experts" to get you to buy more products. That is a cynical approach but one which crosses the mind of every person who is new to Internet marketing. The answer to the question is that it is very important for you to build your list for the following reasons: * Building your list gives your targeted email addresses to promote products and services any time you wish * Allows you to service your customers more frequently than just simply referring them to a sales page * Saves you time in promoting by helping you to reduce your marketing efforts with other forms of marketing * Allows you to build a relationship with your customers over time * Helps to provide you with a more reliable stream of income When you build your list it helps improve your efforts to make money online by giving you a list of prospects who have already shown an interest in what you have to offer. Be it a free eBook, report, software, or a product or service for which they would pay good money to buy from you or at your direction. The key is to remember that this will help stabilize your business and will help it grow over time. The one thing that you need to know is that you will need an autoresponder service to handle your list. This is important in that it allows you set up a series of messages which can be sent to your list automatically at intervals. The other reason this is important is that the autoresponder service will shield you from reports of SPAM as they make certain the people who opt in to your list do so twice to meet the requirements of the CAN SPAM Act. One thing you do not wish to be hit with is being a spammer as it will damage your reputation, get your business delisted from Google, and have your email domain banned from most ISPs. This will kill your business quick. The autoresponder service will provide you with a means for you to create a form that you can put on your website, blog, sales page, thanks you page, or squeeze page so that you can capture prospects. This is a very neat feature as it saves you time in writing the code yourself and asking a a lot of technical questions about the autoresponder service. How do you build your list? One very popular way is to give away a free report, ebook, software, or product of your choice which will be valuable enough for your prospects to be interest them in wanting to know more about what product or service you are promoting. The most important thing when giving a product away is for it to be something which will be important enough to your prospect for them to give your their email address.
