Email list Building

“The money is in the list”

That being so I have started to build said list.I have bought some PLR products from the guru I am following.Cost was $97 for 12 products.They are well put together and relate to the make money on line niche.

I have used one to sell through Paypal and then added a free ebook via a pop-up webform.

So far no one has bought the main product but quite a few are grabbing the ebook  which gets me their email address.

So now the list is starting to build.I have 16 people on the list as I write this.Not many I agree but it is a start.

The important thing to remember is not to use every email you send out as a product pitch.You will get substantial opt outs if you do that.

The process is build a list,build a relationship with that list and then market to that list.

It’s the middle bit most people leave out.They so want to pitch products and make money they forget about building a relationship.The reader will just think “this person does not care about what I want they just want to sell me stuff”.

So give REAL content and give it free.You can introduce affiliate products from time to time but ensure they tie in with what you blog or websites is about.

Have your emails 4 days apart which is the default setting on Aweber the autoresponder I use.

After about 7 emails spread any subsequent emails out to seven days apart.

Follow this strategy and your own list will grow.

Affiliate Marketing Network Program

For people looking to make money online affiliate marketing is one of the most popular methods to achieve this.You are essentially selling other people’s products by driving traffic to a merchant’s website.If a customer who clicked from your site to the merchant’s then buys a product you get a commission.

You don’t have to deal with the customer at all.Shipping and customer service is handled by the merchant.

Now you can go from one merchant to another and see if they have an affiliate program but that would take too long.

Much better to go to an affiliate marketing network program company who gather together a large number of merchants on one site,and you the affiliate marketer,can search for businesses who operate in the niche that interests you.

Then you sign up for that merchant,grab the HTML code for that merchant and put it on your website or blog.

Now the big two in affiliate marketing are

Commission Junction
and
Clickbank

which both have a huge amount of merchants to choose from.

Clickbank tends to offer more digital products such as ebooks and software whereas CJ offers physical products.

There are two others I use right now they are:

Affiliate Window

and

Buy.at

both of which are UK based so tend to have mainly British merchants.

I recommend you start with these big players first.If you really get into a niche,then do a Google search using ” xyz company+ affiliate program” and you should find if that company has such a program.

The alternative is to go to the company website and see if a program is offered.Sometimes you have to go into the site map to find details as the merchant is  looking for people with above average determination!
