Targeted List Building

By Rodney Brooks, on June 2nd, 2010

There are a variety of methods available for gaining more sales, boosting profits, and acquiring more customers. However, list building simply beats everything else, hands down.

Right now, we’re going to discuss a few things to keep in mind during your list building ventures.

The two main components of internet marketing success are generating revenue, then using leverage to increase revenue. The Web is huge, and you’ll find on it every possible interest you can think of. Like a river passing by with no end.

You would not want to have your customers lost, so you have to know where they are. That means you’ll want to have contact info so you can continue to follow-up with them.

It’s not easy to maintain contact with someone when they visit your site, leave and never come back. You’ll need to have names and email addresses if you ever hope to have repeat sales from the same people.

This gives you an opportunity to get back to them when you have something to sell, valuable information to give away, or simply to drop in a friendly ‘hi.’ If you build it and do it right, your email marketing list can grow to be your best marketing tool. Possessing this kind of contact with your market practically assures you a source of traffic that will never go away.

If you have a relevant offer and want to generate instant traffic, all you need to do is send an email and you’ll get it.

Building your marketing list is tied directly to getting more traffic. The same qualities found in your traffic will be found in your marketing list. Traffic that is not targeted will result in list that is poor and unresponsive to your marketing.

You need to have a list that is targeted to what you have to offer, lacking that they’ll be targeted to everything and nothing all at once.

Think quality and not quantity.

There are marketers who have small lists of highly targeted subscribers, which generate massive profits for them. However, you will also find marketers all over the place with untargeted lists of many thousands. Remember, responsiveness is everything in a list, the size of it is secondary.

The ‘free offer’ you make to encourage sign-ups really does need to be a good quality offer. You can offer a short ebook or short report, just as long as it’s fairly unique and stands out. You need to figure out a unique selling point in your free bribe, which will help you stand out from the competition.

People are hit all the time with ‘free.’ You can get noticed by offering something with real value. Ecourses no longer bring much response as they once did, and that’s because they are not viewed as being valuable.

One way to produce interest in your offers is to incorporate audios or videos into your free offer. There are many ways to succeed with your offer, just test and find one.

Email marketing is no mystery and it gets easier when you know you’re doing it right. Giving good value and treating your list respectfully has its own rewards.
