Building a list is of course the most important thing if you want to make money online.
For that you will need an autoresponder.Trying to work with Outlook will just not work if you want to track conversions and avoid having your emails going straight into your reader’s junk mail folder.
All autorepsonders have a spam check which will which check your email before they go out and give the email a points score .The higher the number the greater the risk of going to the junk folder.
I have found that the quickest way to build a list is to offer a free product,usually an ebook 20 to 30 pages long.
In exchange for the ebook your reader gives you their email address and thus they get added to your list.
The best way I think to offer the ebook is with a lightbox pop up.This is a pop up which appears 10 seconds or so after your sales page is loaded.When it pops up the rest of the page darkens so the reader is compelled to read the pop up.
Keep your message short and tell them to sign up.That is your most wanted response so tell them where to put their email even though to you it’s blindingly obvious.
I would recommend Aweber as it has great array of webforms which include pop ups that you can customize.
Once you’ve got the form you want,you copy the code and add it to you main sales page.
I would recommend a ten second delay before the pop up appears,this gives your reader time to at least scan your sales page headline before the pop up appears.
Try it and your list will grow quickly.
Best wishes

Mike Dillard change the MLM business when he released Magnetic Sponsoring,which introduced the concept of attraction marketing.
Now he is updating his formula to reflect the explosion in social media and web 2.0.
He has released a 36 minute video which you can get access to here .It sets out his formula for creating an online business that is owned by YOU not your MLM company.
With an MLM business you really own nothing as the product and how it is marketed is owned by the company.
MLM companies can go out of business,or they can kick you out if you do something they don’t like.
You need a strategy that will create a list of subscribers who have a relationship with you not your company and that you can market to.
Mike sets out how this is achieved so go grab his free video now
Here is a video I did looking at Mike Dillard’s Black Belt Recruiting.This is a book and 6 cd set in which Mike talks to the man who signed him up to one of his first opportunities, Mark Wieser.There are great tools out there to generate leads but they all must eventually be converted into distributors or at least customers.
Mike and Mark take through most of the common objections heard when talking to prospects and how to deal with them,like “how much money do you make?” or “mlm is a pyramid scheme”.
In essence you need to start thinking of your conversations with a prospects as a job interview, with you asking all the questions.Don’t be needy and think ” I must get this person in my business”.As Mike says ” he who cares the least wins”.
If you want to get some free videos from Mike first go here,they are great in themselves.
Anyway here is the video
