Everywhere you seem to look online there are more and more people talking about how list building is the easiest money you can make online and having a list is the asset of your business.

Is it really a good idea?

According to the email list building experts it is a great idea.

You can earn $0.50 to $1 per month or more for each member you have on your opt in list in many markets. Imagine that for just a moment. If you were building a list in the dating niche and had been online list building with success…chances are you would have a substantially large list. And it doesn’t take a large list to make money. You could have a few hundred to a few thousand subscribers on your email list and be able to make a decent amount of money each month from that asset.

But there are some things to consider…

The average life of an email address is roughly about 2.5 years and you must constantly continue to be building a list of highly targeted subscribers in order to make this formula work. It’s fairly easy if you keep your emails interesting and in your own voice and be yourself. Always review your squeeze pages to see how you can improve conversion rates and track your results to see increase.

There are many different ways to build a list and many people believe there are list building secrets or list building software where you can just press a big red magic button and it will build your email list for you. That’s simply not true and anyone who tells you that is off their rocker and you should probably not be listening to them in the first place.

There are only two things you need to remember when list building with this system. Traffic and Offers. I’ll say it again…”Traffic & Offers”. That’s all there is to list building. You have to be able to generate quality targeted traffic as inexpensively as possible and put a compelling offer in front of them. And one of the best possible ways to entice a visitor to opt in to your list is by using a specially crafted “Lead Magnet”.

A lead magnet is simply what you’re going to be giving the visitor in exchange for them entering in their name and email address into your auto-responder form. And once you understand the traffic part…list building becomes easy. You just sent all that targeted traffic to a page where people can take the desired action which is obviously joining your list.
