List Building Tips – Double Your Online Profits With Your Own Email List!

List building tips for beginners…
As an Internet marketing coach, the very first thing I tell my students is that they need three things to make money online…
1. A Hungry Niche
2. A High converting offer
(it can be their own, bust most of my “apprentice” are complete beginners, and for this reason, they start with affiliate marketing. All the research has already been done for them. The niche is good, and the offer is constantly tweaked to make sure it converts)
3. Conversions
Conversions will occur in your sales funnel. If you have a great sales funnel, many of your visitors will end up buying one of your flagship products.
This is how money is made online. I’m talking about millions of dollars every single year in thousands of different niches. Don’t make the mistake to think that squeeze pages only work in the Internet marketing niche. I’ve made a lot of money in the forex market, and my landing page was nothing else than a squeeze page (I’m selling the optin on this page).
Now, many affiliate beginners send traffic directly to their offer, but this is not a smart way to make money with affiliate marketing.
Why?
Because you are building the merchant’s business by sending all the traffic his way. Sure, you will make some sales, but what you need is not making a couple of sales or a couple of thousand dollars…you need a real business with a nice and steady income. And for this, you need a list.
Why you absolutely need to get visitors into your sales funnel via your squeeze page?
Because this will enable you to increase your visitor value dramatically, and so your sales or commissions. If you didn’t read my affiliate marketing metrics post, I suggest you do it now (make sure you come back to read this post).
Let’s say you have a cool blog with 100 unique visitors per day. That’s 3000 unique per month. If your product/service converts at 1% and your profit is $10 per sale, you’ll make 30 sales per month or $300. This is without a list building process.
Now, let’s see the same example, but with your own list of subscribers…Your product conversion rate is the same for cold traffic, so you will make the initial $300, but this won’t stop there.
Since you have a squeeze page on your website – and let’s say that 30% (that’s 1o00) of your visitors optin – you will make more money overtime. Out of these 1000 new subscribers (the 50% who opted in during the month) many will buy your product. Plus your product’s conversion rate will increase since you will be able to build a relationship with your list, and your subscribers will know you AND trust your recommendations (there is a right way to do this though).
So if your product conversion rate goes from 1% to 5% with your list, you will have 50 new customers with the exact same amount of traffic. This is really powerful!
Let’s recap…
1. List Building Scenario 1: your website gets 3000 monthly unique visitors and your offer converts at 1%. You get $10 per sale.
Your monthly profit = $300.
2. List Building Scenario 2: your website gets 3000 monthly unique visitors and your offer converts at 1%. You get $10 per sale. Your monthly profit is $300 PLUS…you also get 5o more sales because you added a squeeze page to your website and you follow up with your subscribers with an autoresponder.
Your monthly profit = $300 + $500 for a total of $800.
You have more than doubled your monthly profits in scenario 2. And this is only the beginning because if you have a proper backend system in place, you will make even more money from this 3000 monthly visitors. I just wrote a blog post that shows you that some of your subscribers will buy from you one year, or even several years after they saw your offer for the first time. This amazing case study shows you how to increase your online sales with aweber list building automation.
