Two Elements For List Building

An important strategy for businesses is to
find customers for their products and services.
Internet marketing is no different and building
a list of subscribers is an essential part of
doing business. Once you have a list you can
then communicate with your list and provide
valuable information and resources.

The two basic elements for building a list are:
- A squeeze page, and
- An email autoresponder service

The squeeze page and autoresponder work hand
in hand for getting a list started.

A squeeze page is a simple website, usually
one page, that is designed for the single purpose
of getting an interested individual to sign up
onto your email list. A squeeze page is also
known as a landing page, magnetizer page or
sign-up page.

The squeeze page will usually have a sign up box
where a name and email address can be entered.
This box is generated by an email autoresponder
service and is specific to your account.

When someone signs up on your squeeze page, the
name and email information is captured and
stored in a database maintained by the email
autoresponder service. This stored list of
names and emails then becomes your list.

Once you have a list of subscribers you can
connect with them through your autoresponder
service by sending various messages. This helps
you stay connected with your subscribers and
gives you a way to provide valuable information
and resources.

Email Autoresponder Messages

If you are building a list of subscribers
you are probably familiar with email
autoresponder services.

One important part of an email autoresponder
service is that it allows you to send various
messages to your list of subscribers.

There are two types of messages that can
be sent – follow up and broadcast.

Follow up messages are those messages that
can be prepared to be sent at certain
intervals from the sign up date of the
subscriber. For example, you may have
a message ready to be sent out immediately
after someone signs up.

If you want to send another message three
days later, you can set it up to go out
automatically for three days later. Once
you have the messages input into your
account system, the messages will go out
automatically at the time intervals you
have scheduled for each message.

Broadcast messages are those messages that
can be sent immediately or scheduled for
a specific day and time.

You create the message and designate when
it should be sent out to your list. When
the message is ready it can be queued up
to be sent. The system will then send the
message on the specific day and time you
have set for that message.

Sending messages to your list of subscribers
is a great way to stay connected and to
provide valuable information and resources.

Build A List Basics

A strategy for Internet marketing businesses
is to build a list of subcribers. Once you

- An email autoresponder

The squeeze page and autoresponder work hand

Email Autoresponder Services

If you are planning to use email marketing as
part of your business it helps to have an email
autoresponder service to handle your list.

Basically, the service will handle the management
of your list including but not limited to:
- Host the database of the names/email addresses
- Provide you the capability to send out messages
- Includes spam compliant information in your emails
- Handles unsubscribe requests
- Tracks the number of subscribers in your account

The service should also provide a way to capture
the names and email addresses on your web page.
Usually a web form is created at the email
autoresponder site. You then place the html code
for that form onto your own web site. This form
then captures the information and stores it into
your account database.

There are many services available for use in your
business and you can find out more by doing an
Internet search for these type services. The features
and pricing will vary so it’s best to check around
to determine which company will meet your needs.

The two services I use and am most familiar with
are AutomateYourList and Aweber and I’ve been
very pleased with both of their services.

As an online business owner having an email
autoresponder service to manage your list is
an important consideration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Importance of List Building

If you’ve spent any time online you’ve
probably heard of list building. So what
is it really about and why is it so
important for online business owners?

List building refers to the process of
collecting contact information from an
individual who visits your website.
Generally, the information collected is
a name and email address. All the
information about the visitors is then
kept in one location known as a database.
This database constitutes your list.

The reason to keep a list is to be able
to have ONGOING communications with
individuals who’ve expressed an interest
in your products or services.

Many times, people aren’t ready to
purchase something the first time they hear
about it. Having a list makes it possible
for ongoing contact.

I like to compare this process with my
own shopping and buying habits. If I’m
looking for something, maybe I’ll buy it
the first time I see it, or maybe I’ll just
go and browse through what’s available first.
I’ll visit a couple different stores and
get ideas and make comparisons. If I like
a particular store and they offer a solution
for me, I’ll probably go back and purchase
from them.

Having someone visit your website is really
no different. Sometimes people are ready to
buy, but many times they are just browsing and
looking for ideas. If you only allow them
one opportunity to purchase from you, you may
lose potential customers who are just browsing
but may be interested in buying later on.

Building a list and keeping in contact with
that list just makes good business sense
and it is an important part of having a
successful online business.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Focus Thoughts & Forward Momentum

“If you don’t go after what you want,
you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask,
the answer is always no. If you don’t step
forward, you’re always in the same place.”
-Nora Roberts

No matter where you are in your biz
today, take some action this week to
move it forward. 

Remember these words by Wayne Gretzky:
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

To Your Continued Success,
Donna
