Do you have even a small list of good, subscribing customers? Are people subscribing to your newsletter or ezine? Are your subscribers on your list purchasing from you? When you build relationships with people, you gain their trust. To help you build a solid foundation for a good customer/seller relationship, offer them value, and then give them more than originally stated. Give them a burning reason to keep coming back to you and your products/services. Here are three of the most important things you can be doing to build a massive, active list of subscribers:

1. Offer a free newsletter, ezine or report. Use previous articles you have written about your niche to compile a report. Above your opt-in box, put something like, Sign up for free, instant access to my special report on: "How to succeed in my industry," for example. When you offer something of value to other people, along with the possibility of it solving a problem for them, they'll sign up every time!

2. Sign up for a co-registration account like, List Hero or List Crusade, which, in fact, I highly recommend. Though there are lots of co-registration sites out there. The meaning of co-registration is that people have the opportunity to sign up for more lists than just yours, all at once. So everybody on the co-reg company's website is list building together. Co-reg sites will help you get started building your list by creating an ad that is like a classified ad. The ad is then strategically placed alongside other classified ads on people's lists. Be sure the lists that you place your ads on are appropriate to what your niche is. It can also be on your web page, as a pop-up, or it can be on the co-reg company's website.

3. Sell other people's stuff! In other words, sign up to be an affiliate marketer for other people's products/services. Find some products you have tried, or would like to try (try them first, being an expert about the things you promote is an important key in building credibility and long term relationships), and promote them. You then enter into an agreement with other business people to promote their products/services and you'll have the opportunity to get subscribers from their lists as well. You can then have teleseminars with the business owner(s) about their best products/services, while offering solutions to your audience's problems. Remember it is about your audience, not you! Then promote your series to your list and have the sellers promote to their lists. Though there are lots of ways to build your list, these are the 3 of the best ways to get started very, very quickly. There will be a continuation to this article. . .

Building a list doesn't have to be difficult or overwhelming, you just need the right people to show you the right resources in order to get the exposure your products and website need. In fact, that is something you want to look out for in searching for a business venture, isolation. Almost 2 years ago, I signed up with an hbb and believed I was being led in the right direction. Yeah, the right direction to lose $30,000 in my 401(k) retirement account, $16,000 in a money market account, and we went from completely debt free (besides house payment and utilities) to the debt listed above. I did everything that business said to do and after a year, I hadn't made one profit for myself. Just be sure that whatever venture you decide to try, isn't isolating you, and your instructor will be showing you ways to get noticed.
