Using Squidoo Marketing To Build Email List

August 12th, 2008 by Melvin

I Love SquidooIf you’ve been doing internet marketing for some time, then I am certain you have heard of the Web 2.0 property Squidoo or Squidoo Marketing. Squidoo marketing has become a popular topic among many marketers and many of us are discovering unique ways to use this tool to build our online businesses. Of course, since I specialize in the area of email list building, I will attempt to describe how you can use this new site to build your mailing list.

Squidoo marketing has been a part of the Web 2.0 category since 2005 and most internet marketers use it as a tool to funnel traffic to their landing pages. With squidoo, you are able to create a “lens”, which is a one page dynamic website, and build it around any topic or niche you are marketing in. A particular lens can pull information from various sources and place all of this content on one page for easy viewing and reading.

With that being said, one of the many good uses for Squidoo lenses is to capture interested prospects for your email list building. Squidoo, along with other web 2.0 properties, receive a ton of traffic and you can leverage these resources to direct visitors to your squeeze page. The key to having an effective squidoo lens is to provide as much quality and valuable information as you can. Since these pages are rated by other viewers, these ratings can influence how visitors behave on your lens. The more they like your lens, the more they’ll be willing to follow the links to your squeeze page.

Another major benefit to squidoo marketing is that you are able to establish yourself as a credible expert in the niche or field you are promoting. With a well developed lens, people will continue to flock back to your page for expert advice and solutions to their problems. Some individuals may even social bookmark your lens which can be another excellent way to gain further traffic. However, regardless of the reasons behind building your squidoo lens, you should always remember to make list building one of your final goals in every marketing effort.

How To Build A List Using Joint Ventures!

August 2nd, 2008 by Melvin

joint venture to build email listPeople ask me all the time what I think is the fastest method for growing your email list. Well, if you’ve been following my newsletter for some time, you would know that I am an avid supporter of JV or Joint Venture Partnerships. A joint venture is an agreement between two parties to do some business together, that result in both parties being mutually benefited. In all honesty, this is the major method most internet marketers use to grow their business and email lists.

If you are looking to establish a JV partnership, I recommend looking at the top 20 websites, in the search engines, for the niche you are targeting and try to contact them. Find out if they have an email or customer list, and if they do, request to do an email ad swap. This is when you and the partner agree to promote each other’s businesses on their email lists.

But before you even do this, it is important to make sure that your joint venture partner offers a good quality product, so that you don’t ruin the responsiveness of your list by recommending a garbage product or service.

Making money with an email list is more about quality than quantity of subscribers.

So, in a nutshell, having a good joint venture or JV partner is all about making sure that you are able to bring immediate benefit to the other party. If you don’t have a fairly responsive email list, you will have a hard time securing any JV. You have to realize that your partners are running a business just like yours and if they don’t see the potential of earning some revenue from the partnership, then they won’t agree to do it. With this being said, it is important to build your email list to a decent level, about 500 subscribers, before you consider contacting a JV partner.

Build Email List By Giving Away Free Material

May 21st, 2008 by Melvin

Today, I’m going to talk to you about the most effective way to build email list, and that is, to give away free material. However, before I do that, I am going to show you why building an email list in one of the best things you can do for the success of your business. Besides this, it is one of the most promising ways to earn consistent money on the internet.When you build an email list, you are able to send your subscribers frequent emails with interesting information, along with small ads for products or services related to the topic of your list. The more consistent you are with maintaining contact with your list, the greater the positive response will be to your ads. The money is not in the list, but it is in the relationship with that list.

With this being said, building and managing an email list requires a number of different tasks, including:

  • Discovering an appropriate topic for your newsletter.
  • Implementing email management software or subscribing to an autoresponder service.
  • Attracting potential subscribers to your list.
  • Finding or creating articles and ads to send to your subscribers.

The part of managing an email list that we’re going to focus on now is how to attract subscribers to your email list. One of the best ways to do this is to give away free material.

Today, with identity theft on the rise, people rarely give any of their personal information, like their name and email address. In order to build an email list, you must give an incentive in return for people giving their private information. It’s not enough to receive just a periodic newsletter with good information. After all, they don’t know the quality or content of your newsletter until after they sign their name and email address. Since this is the case, most people expect something of value up front to balance off the risk of giving any personal information.

In email list building, a typical product you can offer to potential subscribers can be a free eBook, free videos or audio recordings. In order to successfully gain new opt in subscribers, you will have to offer free material that will provide immediate benefit to your subscribers. With that being said, your free product must solve some problem or answer some nagging question that your target audience may have.

Traffic Generation - Ride The New Web 2.0 Wave

May 5th, 2008 by Melvin

Anybody who has done internet marketing for some time can tell you that driving traffic to a web site can become a difficult task. However, lately, with all the changes going on in the internet, it has become quite easy to drive traffic to your landing page than usual.<

You can always use the traditional approach of marketing, by using pay per click campaigns, blogging, SEO (search engine optimization), banner ads, and writing articles to send visitors to your site. If you concentrate on these methods alone, you can still reap a steady stream of traffic to your business. However, in building a profitable business, you’re not concerned with getting just ordinary traffic. As an internet marketer, you should strive for as much traffic as you can get; behemoth amounts of traffic!

For over the last few years, traffic has been shifting from search engines and ppc ads, towards more user interactive websites. A popular term that you may have heard being thrown around the internet marketing community is Web 2.0 or Social Community Websites. Sites like YouTube, MySpace, Diggs, and Facebook are a few examples of these user interactive sites that contain well over a million registered users. Recently, these websites have been receiving far more traffic than search engines or any of your other traditional marketing methods. As an internet marketer, you should always run to where the traffic is.

If you have an internet business that is in desperate need of a lot of traffic, you should try marketing your business on these social networking sites. I have run multiple tests on the differences between traditional traffic and Web 2.0 traffic, and I have discovered that traffic from these social community sites convert far better than the traffic from your traditional approach.

I hope all that I have said has encouraged you to expand your marketing towards this new wave of internet use, which are Web 2.0 properties. If you have more questions about how to market using these social community sites, I have a course that you might be interested in, that reveals a step by step blueprint on how to market using just one of these new Web 2.0 properties.

The Money Is Not Only In The List!

January 28th, 2008 by Melvin

Hello everyone,

I just want to welcome you to what will be one of the most informative and valuable blogs on the topic of list building and traffic generation. I’ve been in the list building and traffic building game for almost 4 years and I’ve seen the gradual changes on the internet that has played a huge effect on how we market online.

Without noticing these changes and positioning yourself properly, you could be at a huge disadvantage. My job with this blog is to position you properly so that your marketing( more precisely your list building) will become more effective.

Now if you’ve been doing the “online business thing” for awhile, then you definitely heard the common phrase that ….”The Money Is In The List”.

But can I change your paradigm for a second?

If you continue to view your email list as a money maker, then you will never fully reap the powerful benefits that your list can provide for you.

Therefore, let me warn you that the……

“Money Is NOT ONLY In The List.”

As a matter of fact, you can go as far as to say that the “Money Is Not In The List!”

Why?

Well, you can have a nice sized list. But if you market poorly to your list, then you definitely won’t see any money!

So you definitely should not view your list as the money maker for your business.

Now before I am mistaken, let me explain first that you can indeed make a lot of money from an email list. But if you limit your mindset to building an email list solely for making money, then you will not see the type of growth to your income that you dream of!

Well, let me tell you.

Drum roll please….

“The Power of Leverage Is In The List!”

An email list is much more than a money maker. It is a way for you to leverage a community of like minded people to help you build your business even further.

In internet marketing, leverage is the name of the game!

As well as build your email list much faster as well!
