How do you stop being a lone wolf? Tap into your current family and friends experiences, expertise's, or networks. Take out a piece of paper and make a table with 4 columns.
The first column heading is "Wealth Building Activity". What do you want to accomplish this year? Write down 3-6 wealth building activities. These can include items that you already have in process, are incomplete, or haven't been started yet. For example, you can list "Develop a lead generation process", "Buy a duplex rental property", "Invest in the stock market", "Outline tax strategies for my business", or "Put together my personal financial statements (balance sheet, cash flow statement, income statement)".
The second column is entitled, "Who Can Help?" List people you ALREADY know who have skills to help you start or complete the wealth building activities. These people already know you and are very willing to give advice. In some cases, these people may not be able to help you directly but they may be great sources for referrals to others who can help you achieve your goals and accelerate your wealth. Examples of people you already know can be your family (Mom, Dad, sisters, brother-in-law), friends (college, parents of your children's friends, health club), neighbors or people from work. Go through your address book for additional people who can help.
The heading for the third column is "Ask or Call? When?" Determine ahead of time if you will be requesting a face-to-face meeting or requesting for help via a phone call or email. To hold yourself accountable, identify the date when you will call or meet with the person. It is critical that you follow through on making contact with the people you've identified to help you out.
The heading of the last column is, "When Can We Start?" Assume your family and friends say "yes" to your request for help. You need to find a time for both parties to meet and review the items with which you need the most help.
When meeting with these people, make sure you are prepared ahead of time to discuss your goals and desires. Be direct and honest and ask these people for suggestions or advice on how they can help you achieve your goals. Ask them, "What they would do to accomplish the wealth building task?" Take notes, ask questions and discuss what your actions will be to move you closer to achieving your wealth building activities. In your discussions, make sure you are clear about the next steps. Are you confident you know the next action step? If not, then continue to ask questions until you are confident and have clear direction. This also is a perfect opportunity to ask your family or friend if you can request additional information or help from them in the future.
You will be amazed at how quickly you can begin to build wealth once you lose the lone wolf syndrome. Tap into resources you already have and build your wealth team. You will achieve your wealth building goals faster, more efficiently, and with more confidence once you have people around you who support you and your goals.
Your list of subscribers is the best source of selling your product to. You can do a lot of things with your list - for example conducting a survey, get ideas for your products, and the greatest reason, where you earn most of your money from.
What should you do if you don't have a subscriber list? Simply start building one right away, and that is what you will learn through this article.
1. Where do you start? You need to choose the right autoresponder for yourself. The more reputable paid autoresponders are http://www.aweber.com and http://www.getresponse.com. Though using a free autoresponder is not encouraged, you can get a descent one at http://www.freeautobots.com.
With an autoresponder, you can collect the emails of your subscribers so that they will be able to receive your newsletters, e-zines, mini course or promotion.
2. Opting in The most basic requirement of an Internet Marketer is to have a website. You need a website so you can include your autoresponder's opt-in form, and allow your prospects to subscribe into your list.
Every single visitor that comes to your website is important and you can't afford to lose any of them. Try to offer an irresistible free bonus to your visitors at a visible place on your website with the condition that they must opt-into your list so that you are allowed to send them the free products.
It can be an e-book, a newsletter, an e-zine or just a mini course. If you are selling an informational digital product like an e-book, it is a good choice to offer few chapters of excerpts from your product as a free gift.
3. Using a double opt-in for safety It is important that you use an autoresponder with the double opt-in feature. Many of times if you do not have this feature, you'll be easily shut down for "spamming". This is a result from people who has forgotten that they subscribed to your newsletter and reported that you have spammed, or someone else had inserted another person's email into your opt-in box.
Using a double opt-in ensures that you get targeted subscribers as well, which means people who are interested in receiving your newsletter.
4. Contacting your subscribers You must continue in following up with your subscribers once they are in your list. Put up an autoresponder series of newsletter, e-zine or mini course, when it is the right time you can promote your product etc. This way, you make sure you are in close relationship with your subscribers and that they can trust you more, and trust can turn you more profits.
5. Personalize your email It is proven again and again that personalized emails are the best way of approaching your leads. If your messages can start up with "Dear Bob," "Dear Sam," not only can it increase your credibility and response you can sound more personalized - like speaking one on one and people like that.
To do this, you need to have a good autoresponder which allows you to do it by using services from http://www.aweber.com, http://www.getresponse.com, or http://www.marketingtips.com/mailloop.
