Building Your List

I have long admired Patric for his sensible approach to marketing. I read this article on his blog today, and thought it a good idea to share. Because the money is in the list (repeat that mantra - over & over!) any information on list building is valuable…

Word of Mouth Marketing To Build A Mailing List
Write an ebook, publish it and give it away for free.
When those people who have requested your “free report”
receive it, offer to send the report to their friends or
family members who they think may find the report of
interest.
When a friend or family member gets referred to you, send
them a note letting them know that the requester (include
the name) has asked you to send a free report to them that
they may find of interest.
Also, ask them to reply to your message letting you know
that they have received and accepted the message. When
they inform you of receiving and accepting your message,
they are fairly open to receiving messages from you in the
future. You can add these people to your list. If they
don’t reply to your initial message, do not add them to
your list. They are probably not interested in receiving
further messages from you.
I use a similar technique with my free newsletter and it
works very well for me.
Word of mouth works well with any business. Plus, it
doesn’t cost you anything.
All the techniques given above will help you create your
very own targeted list very quickly and cost-effectively.
Guard your list with your life since it is the most
valuable asset of your entire business.
As long as you have your mailing list, you can find a
product and build your business very quickly. With this
list, you will be able to pull in order after order in just
a matter of days. You can make a lot of money with a good
list if you use it effectively.
You should save copies of all the e-mail requests that you
receive when people join your list. If by rare chance
someone forgets that he has willingly joined your list and
demands to see proof of this, you can very easily show him
a copy of his initial e-mail request. This will probably
never happen to you but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared for
any such incidents.
Warmest regards,
