Well, today I spent most of the day getting things ready for my videos. I am just about ready to start submitting videos to Youtube. I plan to start a video series of myself, using certain products that help me achieve my goals. (Make Money) The videos will show people how to use the product, but also drive them to my blog. You will hear me say this over and over again. We have to build lists. If you have been doing your research on Affiliate Marketing, you probably already know this. This is where you will create a relationship with someone who is a possible future customer. I have read that some Affiliate Marketers have built there list up to 300,000 subscribers. When first starting, I think 1,000 is a good goal.
How do I build a list?
The first way to build a list, is to offer a Free gift. When someone wants to download the gift, they have to enter their name and email to receive it. Now they are on your list. Make sure you give them something valuable that they can use. You don't want them to get the download and say that is useless. If they like the Free gift, they will most likely be interested in your future products that you offer.
I don't have a gift to give away
No problem. Some of you may have downloaded my Free Keyword Tool. You can give that away. You can find Free ebooks with resale rights. You can write 10 How To Tips and give them away. Remember, it is not the quantity, it's the quality of the product. Everyone loves Tips and Tricks. I will give you an example. "10 Tips How To Play Better Poker " or "How To Take A Great Picture" Give tips away of things you are good at. " 7 Tricks To Be A Better Bowler" The list goes on and on.
How do find People for My Giveaway
This will take some work. I will give you an example, but I will explain in full detail at a later date.
The first and easiest way is to join some forums that are active in your niche. Your niche meaning expertise and product you would like to sell. There are tons of forums that you can join for free. No, you don't tell people about it in a post. You don't want them to think you just want their name for your list. You start by joining in on some of the topics and be their friend. Try and answer questions. You can learn a lot from listening to what the most common problems are in that forum. Now, when you signed up to join the forum, you had a profile that you had to fill out on yourself. There is a spot called your signature or Sig file. This message is displayed at the bottom of every post you make. You will then put your website in that spot directing them to your Free gift. If you don't have a website, you can just post a blog with your download at that location.
How Do You Keep Track Of The lists And How Do I Get A Sign-Up Form?
This is pretty easy. There are some free services out there, but I went with Aweber. The reason I chose them was because I wanted to have all my lists in one place and didn't want to have to switch down the road. Their services are great and they have templates for sending out newsletters and follow-ups. They also offer a refund after 30 days if you are not satisfied. They have all the forms and templates to get you going fast.
So, this is what I am concentrating on at the moment. We need to build lists. The money is in the list.
That's it for now.
Take Care and good luck!
