HOW TO BUILD A HUGE LIST FAST

List building is a absolutely essential skill for all Internet marketers. Fortunately it is also a simple task that is completely automated.

How would you like to make money every time you send out a email?
For Internet marketers with huge lists numbering in the 5 digit range they can earn thousands of dollars whenever they want by sending out a email to their list of opt-in subscribers.
Your list might not be large enough to do that yet, but there are ways to excellerate the list building process, and I will go into that after I cover list building basics for those who may have no list whatsoever; We all have to start somewhere, and the very first thing everyone who aspires to make money online should do is get 1) A website, and 2) A auto-responder.

Assuming you have already built your website, then you are ready to tackle the second most important step:

A auto-responder is a program that does a couple of things.
You can load it with pre-written emails that are sent out to subscribers over whatever time frame you desire.
When you have something new to share with your list, all you have to do is write one email, and the auto-responder mails it out to everyone on your list.
You can have more than one list, depending on what kind of niche your recipients are interested in.

Your auto-responder also creates the opt-in boxes where visitors to your site can leave you their name, emailaddress, and other information.
The autoresponder program you decide to use will walk you through the process of creating opt-in forms.
When you are done the program will give you some html code that you just copy and paste into your website.

Wondering what would be a good auto-responder to use? I would recommend get response, it is very easy to use.
If you don’t want to spend alot of money on a autoresponder then sign up for Amember, They are considered the best in the business, and you only have to pay a low monthly fee.
When I first started out I went with a pay by the month company called email aces.
I did not like the idea of paying for a service every month for therest of my life so I purchased omnistar mailer.
Although Omnistart mailer works fine, it is a unecessarily complicated system.
Omnistars customers service is very helpfull though, and will answer any questions you have, and can install the script on your site for a cheap one time fee.

Word of caution:

Speaking from real life experience remember that computers do fail, and data can be lost…forever!
You wouldn’t want all your hard work to just disappear into nowhere because of a glitch, it can be
devastating.
Back up you list information from time to time, and keep your customers contact information in a
safe place.

Now back to building your list of subscribers in the first place.
You will likely have to offer visitors to your site a incentive to sign up to your list. This is usually done by giving them a ebook or other type of product that they can download immediately after joining your list. Your free offer could also be a email course, or something similar.

Here is a super hot building secret that will explode your list building efforts:

Set-up a free membership site and instead of your prospects getting only one free ebook they can gain access to the insider information that is for members only.
Being a member to what could be a paid membership site, but that you are offering for free, has a very high preceived value.
Training videos in your membership site can greatly enhance its value.
Update the information inside of the members only area and they will keep returning.
You can also easily add a forum, and a blog, to create a community of like minded people, interested in what you have to say and offer.
Creating a membership site is like having a list building machine. Customers love them, and you
will love promoting it because of the awesome results you will get.

Are you thinking that building a membership site is too complicated of difficult?
Well remember the auto-responder I mentioned earlier that was overly complicated to use? Well creating, and running a membership site is actually easier to use than that autoresponder, if you use a script called Launch Formula Marketing.
Once you have installed the script everything else is a breeze. Customize the look and feel
of your members only site, add ebooks, videos, podcasts, or anything else you would like to share. When your finished your membership site will rock, and your list will grow rapidly.

List Building Money Making Formula:

Why not make money while building your list? When people join your membership site present them with a one time offer to upgrade their membership and receive enhanced features.
How much money you charged, and how often customers are billed is entirely up to you.
You have alot of flexibility with the LFM script, in fact it is the easiest script to modify that is available.

Everyone who joins as a member also becomes a affiliate. This means that every member is given a individual affiliate I.D. that is a URL (website address). Members receive a commission on sales that are made through their affiliate link.
YOU are now not only building a list, making money, but also have a motivated sales force promoting your site.

Advanced, But NOT Difficult List Building Tactic:

The “tell a friend” script gives you additional leverage to build a huge list fast.
“Tell a friend” simply gives your subscribers the option of referring some friends
to your site in exchange for some more bonuses.
Make those bonuses really attractive, and many people will use the automated “tell a friend” feature to send their friends your pre-written email.
Because your email is not spam, and is being sent via someone they trust, they will likely open it, read it, and if interested also sign up.

A Word On Incentives:

Have you been wondering where to find information products such as ebooks, videos,
podcasts, and software that you can offer as instant downloads to your prospective opt-in customers?
Looking for more in depth information on building your list?
Visit the Information Ninja website for a massive collection of products that you can give away to your list, or add to your membership site.
Many of these products are valuable enough to sell for a profit, and come with either give away, resale, master resale rights, or private label rights.
