Why EVERYONE says the MONEY is in the list !!

Why everyone says “the MONEY is in the list”??

If you are serious about conducting business online, you need someone to introduce your products or offers to.  Because of the nature of the online community, people often don’t know if people are actually as they present themselves. Therefore a level of trust has to be built.  This is accomplished online by sharing, and communication via email, social media etc..

 As folks send you offers and information by email, Facebook etc., it is only natural and logical to begin your list building here with folks you already have a budding relationship with; and building from there.

There are two easy ways to build and maintain a list.  One is to use google gmail, and save all the email addresses from those folks who send you offers and promotions.  You can set this up to happen automatically, and you can even divide them into groups.  This is accomplished by going into your gmail settings, and setting up the automatic save for all incoming emails.

Another plus about building a list this way is you can also use the signature box to set up automatic promotion of your business every time you send an email.  You can also use the vacation responder to promote your business so that everyone who sends you an email is automatically sent one back from you telling them about your product or offer.

Be sure to offer folks the option to opt out of your emails by using a disclaimer in your emails.  It can be very simple such as—You are receiving this email because we have communicated on a business level or you have sent me an email.  If you have received this email in error, I sincerely apologize, and will remove you immediately if you send me an email with REMOVE in the subject line.


The second option is to use an autoresponder.  There are several of these available for a fee.  I also recommend to free ones to use initially if you don’t want to pay for one right away, or can’t afford a monthly fee initially.  The two free autoresponders are www.listwire.com and www.mailchimp.com.    These are pretty user friendly and will more than accomplish your goal of building an online list fast.
