Are you building a list? You should be. It’s hand downs the best way to make a long term income online.
Chances are, you already know that, or hopefully soon you’ll be learning more about it.
So I want to warn you about something that you MUST overcome when you’re building your list online.
It doesn’t matter who it is… me, you, your neighbor, my momma, some one in Italy neither of us know…everyone has the same fear every time they sign up for a free report, free video or anything they have to give their email address for.
That fear is SPAM.
Of course, technically it’s not spam if you ask for it. But what is considered spam by most people isn’t just the technical definition.
I recently signed up for a free report, and the content within was awesome. I learned a lot of valuable stuff in there.
But man…. every
single
day
I get an email from this guy. And they’re good info, but like so many people I just don’t have the time to give this guy 10 minutes every single day to read another email. Since it’s a project I won’t be able to get my hands on for another few weeks.
I think I’m on day 4 or 5 of his auto responder series and I just don’t want to see any more of his emails.
I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m complaining and not training right? Well the thing is, I’m not the only 1 who gets annoyed by a constant bombardment of emails (even if they’re good stuff).
So when you’re building your lists, you need to keep in mind that having great content isn’t enough to a lot of people.
Why is this guy all up on my email address every day anyway…is he hurting for money, or just in a hurry to get me to his next offer? It’s spammy feeling, and I want to take a shower after what happened.
There’s a fine line between sending emails, and sending too many emails. And getting this wrong could leave your subscribers feeling like you’re a snake in the grass digital oil salesman who’s got a quick million for us to make if we sign up within the next 24 hours and push one big easy money button.
The really bad part about this guy’s list is that the content is fantastic!
But he’s absolutely killing me by sending too much too fast.
What if instead, his tips were so good that I couldn’t resist myself the next time I saw his email address because I had been waiting? What if after every one of his emails I looked forward to his next email? What if between emails I was thinking about when HIS email was coming next?
Then his list would be more responsive, and more profitable.
I wanted to share this little tidbit tip today, because I’m in the midst of writing a highly detailed list building report in which I’ll be covering loads of ways to increase the value of your list, and how to understand what your list is really worth. Even how to use your list so the subscribers and you get the most from it.
It’s in the works, and absolutely going to be a must have report for anyone looking to, or currently building a list that wants to make the most money with it. Not in a scummy way, but a way that your subscribers will appreciate you for and be crawling over one another to see what’s inside your next email.
So keep your eyes out for this goldmine of information, it’ll change how you build your list forever.
